That's true.

I am not familiar with the mechanics of that specific game.

That's true.

the just what really a couple of things struck me this morning i get struck daily by observations about how awful trump is but the one the one today was um i remember when he was campaigning and he was talking about how the price of fuel is the most important thing of all of the prices because it's baked into everything you know that trucks that deliver stuff and

And the ships and the military, like the cost of energy is a proxy for the whole economy because our entire economy runs on energy.

And of course, energy is all driven by oil.

Thanks to Trump again.

It's like proof that there's never a strategy because my brain goes to like, well, he wants oil to be the exclusive thing that we use and he wants oil to go up in price so that all of his buddies who make money from oil, you know, the old Bush-Halliburton strategy, all of his buddies who make money on their oil make more money and that it would just be that simple.

But

he's he undercuts his own political messaging i feel like every week like he undercuts what he was arguing the week before and it's no different here where now he was in on the state of the union uh speech talking about how i think gas was like 291 or something a gallon on average and how proud he was that it was entirely him uh who who got gas below three dollars a gallon and a whole week later he

He's bombing the country that controls the strait that has 20 percent of the world's oil going through it.

It's mind boggling.

Did he forget or does he just not care?

You take that back.

A strategy that's bad is one thing, but a strategy that directly contradicts your past strategy, it feels like you have to be uniquely intelligent to be that bad at being good, right?

And then it was a year, and now we're in more short-term pain, and we've had no long-term gain.

I think it was what, like October, they said, like, wait till 2026.

That's when the boom begins, like the golden era.

Yeah, and then the first press release of 2026, he's like, it's going to take about a year for the economy to recover.

Oh my God.
