The Al Jazeera bureau chief in Tehran, Noureddine El-Dghir, reports from reliable sources that US President’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, has attempted to reach Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
“Scale x Duration” the formula you need to understand any energy supply disruption. In the case of Hormuz Scale: the scale is large, 16-20 million barrels per day of crude oil. Duration: ~10 days and counting?
Xiaomi’s humanoid robot is now testing in a real car factory.

Tender rejection levels are now at the highest levels since March 20, 2022. The freight market is incredibly strong. https://t.co/udktseSaGk
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: ‘Our armed forces are waiting for the entry of the US Navy into the Strait of Hormuz and the arrival of the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford.’
The freight brokers have money, which will make trucking litigation more lucrative. This will create more lawyers and everyone will be worse off
Trump has collapsed cancer research. —> The National Cancer Institute hasn’t made a single grant this fiscal year https://t.co/3mKjoMua8Q

JUST IN: Classic turning the tables. Now Iran will be the bad guy for doing anything that hinders oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Crude is trading Tuesday morning as if the war is over. The proof will be in...

Missiles like the Tomahawk—and the advanced defenses against them—consume vast quantities of critical minerals far beyond just copper. These systems increasingly depend on scandium-aluminum alloys to reduce weight, extend range, and enhance payload performance under extreme conditions. That’s exactly why these are...
It's almost as if some states designed their economies to be more resilient to supply disruptions.
If you’ve ever been in a lawsuit, it’s not what you did or didn’t do that matters, it’s what a lawyer can convince a jury that you should have done. The problem for brokers - it will be incredibly easy to...
Companies often have strategy slides. But when real decisions happen, people still ask: “What does strategy mean here?” On March 17 at 10 AM ET I’m joining Adam Zales of Amplify to discuss how strategy leaders translate strategy into action. #Strategy #Innovation #Leadership #CorporateStrategy...
If you aren’t familiar with how insane nuclear lawsuits are - listen to Matt break it down for you. This is why the SCOTUS broker liability case is a much watch for anyone in trucking.
Why did CBS News Justice correspondent Scott MacFarlane decide to exit the network? He didn't say in his farewell note to colleagues. But, privately, he had been more candid about his frustrations under Bari Weiss. Details in @get_status: https://www.status.news/p/scott-macfarlane-cbs-news-exit-bari-weiss

"On the other hand, repealing the Jones Act, which would allow non-U.S. tankers to transport oil between U.S. ports, would immediately have salutary effects" 🔥 https://t.co/mIuRPyAKFY https://t.co/Rcxft259fv
PAIN takes PATIENCE It takes years to develop chronic pain. We can’t fix that in two months. 
Crude oil shot up toward $120/bbl, then plunged back below $90/bbl, swinging stocks, bonds, gold, and the dollar along the way. Is the market meltdown really over? #USIranWar #crudeoil #stockmarket #dollar #macro #trading https://t.co/9oO6NbDLq3

"Oil Prices: Crude's Wild Day Has Trump Rethinking the Jones Act" https://t.co/YKhaomLkrd For the record, it's technically not "trutherism" if it's - you know - the actual Truth. https://t.co/7CZuzc3gja

Delta was offering passengers $6,000 to change their flight and nobody took it lol yall got me fukd up cause I would’ve been staying extra day somewhere

Crude Oil WTI Plunged by 24%, Back Below $88, from $116 Overnight. Gasoline Futures -16%. Manic Speculation Unwinds. The Futures Market is where the Imbeciles go nuts. https://t.co/uWAJTgQkXb https://t.co/EdZk8SVqd6
Music is more popular than ever as an asset class in private markets, but publicly-traded music companies are near their all-time low stock prices. Quite the paradox.
BPI feels like a long term winner. Then again, the Bangko Sentral is lowering rates and NIM compression should follow
We're going back to the days when the only way to profit from being viral online was to spin it into some sort of traditional media job :/
My 2-cent take — he’ll try to jawbone to keep oil below $100, but he won’t deescalate to bring oil below $80 (to the extent he’s really in control here anyway). And the oil floor probably keeps going up while...

Unclear whether President Trump referred to the already announced easing of Russian oil sanctions for India, or something new. In any case, this is what he said: "We have sanctions on some countries. We're going to take those sanctions off till...
*WTI OIL DROPS AS MUCH AS 10% TO $85.52/BBL AT START OF [Tuesday] TRADING *TRUMP SAYS IRAN WAR WILL END 'SOON' BUT NOT THIS WEEK Not to be callous ... but the market really cares about oil tankers moving through the Strait...

I just did something controversial. I brought my one-year-old as a lap infant in long-haul business class. And hot take: I’m ready to do it again. She slept 7 hours, woke up for breakfast, and loved watching the landing. And not...
The signal from Washington and Jerusalem is that this runs through September or later— long enough to set expectations, long enough to signal to the Mullahs and IRGC we have staying power in a war of attrition, long enough to buy...
There are a finite number of countries that possess Tomahawk missiles. Iran is not one of them.
If the Supreme Court rules that brokers can be held liable for accidents, it will be a doomsday event for most brokers. We could see 90% of freight brokers wiped out due to nuclear lawsuits, which they are significantly underinsured to...
Phil Rosenthal’s ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ Moving From Netflix to YouTube - under new Banijay deal https://t.co/tP88pTFrSk
Because of lawyers and threat of nuclear lawsuits, the brokers don’t want knowledge of a trucker’s qualifications. It’s wrong, but it’s the ambulance chasing lawyers’ fault.
I deleted a couple posts criticizing a letter from 100+ YIMBY groups that was mostly quite good, but erred (IMHO) in supporting what is effectively a partial ban on build-to-rent construction. My word choices in those posts were too callous, and...
It's been a long time since @yojimmykim and I have launched anything new. 50 people grabbed the eCom Retention Vault in the first few hours. Didn't expect that. https://t.co/Nvu2sCggkD Thank you 🙏
Is it feasible that Maduro was taken off the board to use Venezuela as some sort of insurance policy against attacking Iran leading to tighter oil supply or is that silly
Interesting older view looking up into Ship 29. Hope we get to see some V3 shots like this soon.

President Trump just finished speaking on the Iran situation now. Here is a summary of his key comments. He says the war will end very soon (but not this week) and he is disappointed by the new supreme leader's appointment. Oil...
Special Operations Raid To Secure Iran’s Enriched Uranium May Become A Very Risky Necessity A raid is fraught with risk, but it may become the only way to make sure the nuclear material is safe and out of the regime's hands. https://t.co/Wlqxk84kyf

It may feel like it has been a long time coming, but when you appreciate the scale of the work here, SpaceX have moved at blistering speed. It's a thing of beauty. 😍 https://t.co/1Z2CALxsCe
President Trump said that he knew oil would go up if he went forward with the strikes...and it went up less than he thought. That's wild. How high was he expecting?
Actually he has it a bit backwards, those vaccinated with IPV can still acquire poliovirus and shed virus, but it prevents the virus from entering the bloodstream + protects almost 100% paralytic polio, just like the Covid vaccine protects 80-90%...

NASA's Van Allen Probe A, launched in 2012, is expected to reenter tmrw (Mar 10) ~7:45 pm ET (uncertainty of +/- 24 hrs). Some components may survive. When mission ended in 2019, expected reentry was 2034, but solar activity was higher than...
The acquisition math nobody shows you: Buy at 3–5x earnings Sell at 8–12x earnings 10 businesses × $500K profit = $5M EBITDA $5M EBITDA × 10x = $50M exit Businesses you paid nothing for Funded by the cash flow they already produced This is the game. Learn...
Well then, if Trump is going to lift sanctions on Russian oil in order to bring down the sky-high oil prices that he himself foolishly helped trigger, then I think the absolute priority now should be destroying not just Russia’s...
The Sunday ticket lawsuit is not dead yet, and may have some runway. My story for @awfulannouncing on today’s appeal court hearing. https://t.co/CAof0u2LU5

No doubt a day for the oil market history books. Nearly $35/bbl of intraday crude price chomp is wild. And this is far from over yet. https://t.co/nrgOddtT5n
