That’s almost laughable about Russia offering. I’ve read more than once that Russian scientists were working with Iran in Iran.
AI is no friend. The world only needs so many plumbers and electricians.
D-Day For “Huuuge” Meta Layoffs Looms As AI Job Apocalypse Accelerates
‘D-Day’ for Meta layoffs is quickly approaching, as the Facebook and Instagram owner will slash 10% of its global headcount – or about 8,000 employees – in the initial round as it swaps headcount for GPUs.
Former Meta employee Adel Wu described the current situation on X, saying her millennial and Gen Z friends still at the tech company are currently “either just waiting, hoping to get laid off or extremely anxious because the job is their lifeline.”
Welcome to the accelerating AI job apocalypse, affecting white-collar youngsters with lots of student debt.
Wu described the upcoming Wednesday layoff announcement as “huuge” and noted, “I remember the very first big layoff the night before was almost like doomsday, people were stuffing their bags with free snacks and drinks and chargers.”

You’re probably right.
Unfortunately continued war means all the oil-chemical industries in the area will likely be destroyed. The world could be going into real hurt storm then!
Re iran
Can’t see any agreement on a ‘face saving’ idea, the regime has to go…..

Supposedly those planes were being pulled back to be out of the way in an impending conflict. At least that’s the way I read it.
Some new progress this morning … if that news report I posted is accurate. The Iranians are being hurt much worse than we are by the blockade. What we and they need are real statesmen to hash a peace deal out.
Pretty funny that the RINOs are being ousted!
Not as bad as forecast

American oil saved the world from an energy catastrophe with Iran closing Hormuz tighter than a burglary suspect in a cavity search.
Green energy was as useful as a hooker at a blood drive.
Morning Ipso
Hopefully, that’s good news about the C-17A’s which I believe are transport planes. Makes me wonder what really happened between Trump and Xi in China last week.
Oil has reversed back below $100 today FWIW.
Progress?
Oil Slides After Iran Says US Agreed To Lift Oil Sanctions During Talks, Long-Term ‘Nuclear Freeze’ On Table
Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya early Monday has issued a bombshell if true (but still very much not officially confirmed), reporting that Iran has agreed to a long-term nuclear freeze instead of a complete dismantling. The outlet also reports that Iran has withdrawn its demand for compensation, instead demanding economic concessions. However, this could be highly dubious, given over the past several days Tehran has not shown willingness to back down from this demand of compensation.
It also seems Russia’s offer to take and temporarily hold Iran’s enriched uranium is being taken seriously. Here are the alleged “leaks” of the working draft peace document:
Working on a condition transfer of enriched uranium to Russia instead of the US.
Seeking multiple international guarantees for any agreement.
Wants Pakistan and Oman to have a ‘role’ in any ‘clash’ in the Strait of Hormuz.
Seeking a political formation that allows Iran to save face.
Separate the maritime route from nuclear issues.
Oil pushes lower on the additional headlines, following initial reports that the US would lift sanctions on Iranian oil during the negotiating period…

As of now anyways, indecision, bulls and bears with bulls stopping further decline but neither are in control yet. Confirmation of a continued decline, bounce or directional change needs to follow.
Dr Zelenko back in 22 talking about the RNA viruses
Particularly Covid but brings up other viruses in this category some that could he lethal like Ebola and the Hantavirus back in 22 may be rest in peace before it was known about ivermectin and other Anti parasitic medicine that can battle cancer too. He was a dedicated doctor.
Not that most of us are at risk for getting the Hantavirus because it’s not transported person to person. There is only one type known in the Andes I think it can be spread person to person but even then not highly contagious in pandemic levels. Now if you happened to be in the dessert like Arizona were rodents running around in a dust storm and they can have some bad ones or anywhere you could be at risk of inhaling infected material from rodents.
Not treated with ivermectin. But vitamins, since he didn’t mention Hanta particularly should be on prophylactic respiratory antibiotics as a side effect is pneumonia and respiratory treatment. But to use D3 and Zinc he particularly focused on zinc.

80 lawsuits to force doctors to prescribe ivermectin for COVID.
40 won & got ivermectin, 40 didn’t.
38 out of 40 who got ivermectin lived.
38 out of 40 who didn’t get ivermectin died.
LOL

Bass has became a punch line.
Something wrong with our food.
Man in Florida dumps red grapes and apples in a wild life area hopefully not for baiting and although tracks show they approached and smelled the food they didn’t eat it. They smell for nutritional value and toxins like pesticides. Not even the insects want it.

The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: 11 US Air Force C-17A aircraft are now leaving the Middle East toward Europe. The same mass departure pattern happened a few hours before the war began on February 28 and last week, when Channel 12 reported Trump cancelled the strikes “at the last minute,” on Saturday.

Mining companies today are generating the largest profit margins of any sector in the global economy by far.
Much of the market remains asleep and still analyzes mining through an outdated framework from decades ago.
To be clear:
Miners today are producing profit margins nearly double those of tech companies.
At current metal prices, this environment is absolute nirvana for well-run mining businesses.

I hope you’re right. This Iran war is a headwind for Trump and the Repubs.

More recent video. America is spending 60 times more than Iran on this war.
America is losing financially, this is Iran’s stragefy. And now they’re closing water ways costing millions and months to go around globally to deliver products.
Professor Jiang on the war and what would happen next.
If US pulls out Israel will move in and they would win but also possibilities how Russia and China could get involved. Also talks about Ukraine, Taiwan and N Korea.
