Oil Market Pushback
Want to push back a little on your oil market segment - love the show. I work in the oil and gas trading business and looking at the DOE words vs. what happened - oil up to $79 bucks after the announcement…why? Cause the same way buy the rumor sell the news is how hedge funds make there $$, same work in the futures markets, and since shorting is wildly easier than with equites, sell the rumor buy the news runs the show. The Biden admin has been BIG talk, only to offer up 80M offshore acres last week, and re allowing federal drilling. This move in my eyes hurts them more in the long run, the supply chain shortage still plagues the transportation of these products and 50M bbl won’t do the trick. This news was met with buy buy buy from my clients as they expected way worse. To really damped oil prices - we need to unleash American oil sitting underneath instead of begging Saudi to pump more Love the show - recent subscriber, thanks for having this platform.
Progressives had a tough electoral year, except maybe one...
Despite a really rough year in electoral politics for progressive hopefuls, Michelle Wu the newly elected Mayor of Boston won her race on largely ideological lines. Wu stood her ground on a progressive agenda despite an opponent claiming she had 'pie in the sky' goals and couldn't accomplish anything. Mayor Wu is also committed to making Boston the first Green New Deal city. Mayor Wu was able to turn out young people and create the multi-generational, multi-racial working class coalition that the Left fantasizes about. So the question is: why does MSM pretend like the victory is not good enough?
Surveillance in our vehicles?
I'm curious to know what y'all think about the provision in the infrastructure bill which states that they will be implementing technology into everyone's vehicles by 2025 that will monitor us for our alcohol levels. I've read many articles in car magazines about it as they seem to be the only ones who are covering it. The idea of infrared sensors on our steering wheels or cameras that watch us while we drive seems incredibly authoritarian.
Holiday/Family Subscription Package
Is there any way you guys could offer a family subscription package for the holidays? I know I can gift individual subscriptions to people, but I'd love to give the gift of unbiased news to my whole family for Christmas. A discounted rate for the subscription like they have with the Spotify family plan would be awesome!
