I don’t think Iran closed the Straight of Hormuz in a bid to get allies to Pressure the US over oil prices. They did it to lure US ships into the straight, where they can sink them. With the ultimate goal of drawing our aircraft carriers close enough to hit with hypersonics.
Trump of course immediately announces the navy will escort oil tankers. He wasn’t so much lured by Iran, as he was compelled by ego and blind arrogance.
Since phonecalls, texts, mail, and email are all buried in a flood of increasingly sophisticated spam… how is actual correspondence going to exist in the near future? Procees servers? Seems like communication is about to cease at a societal level.
I’ll bet that one person domesticated dogs from wolves in a single lifetime. And the tribe probably made fun of his “weird wolf obsession” the whole time!

Ok so here’s what sucks about trading metals:
Most local coin stores limit transactions to $9,999 because paperwork comes into play above that. Gold is now well above $5000 an ounce.
So for retail, the low risk trading option is now limited to one ounce of gold per store per day. Generally people don’t buy fractions of an ounce because the premium (transaction fees basically) are too high for small quantities.
I had always assumed that the movie villain army wearing masks was just an overused plot device or something but the past year has really cleared that up for me.
