also, on the rigging games thing:
the NCAA stepped in and overturned the final play from scrimmage in the 2009 Big 12 title game to get Texas in the BCS championship instead of Cincinnati, hat tip @actioncookbook.com

I farm along a busy state highway. >50% of passersby are looking down at their phones driving 70 mph. It’s scary.

Most likely I would think.
Heard that 32% was going for $615T in the WCB today. Not sure how u make 4.50 corn work with N close to a $1 per lb. I am an under on 95M acres.
Mild surprise. Have been rumors for a while. Still hopeful it’s a labor negotiating tactic and they won’t close completely. Saying 20-40 months before closure.
The war that the US and Israel started will rage for years. Donny just needed an excuse to get out and juice the S&P.
Lower energy prices are good for consumption of ag commodities. Be careful selling crude in the grain pit.

He was not hacked. He wrote that one himself. He’s fried. #25th now.
I mean if we had a functioning Congress, they would end this by midweek. This shouldn’t even be partisan. Dude is completely deranged…
I agree. That said they never pressed charges against a single Epstein client when they were in charge either. I wouldn’t hold my breath if they control the Presidency and both houses in 3 years either. Israel owns plenty of Dems too.
Both parties take Israeli money. Neither party is gonna take anything Epstein to trial.
The price of a pardon.
He beat the only possible Dem he could have beaten.
Same here but that doesn’t mean you can’t find candidates that the 3%-5% in the middle would support. You are never gonna get Billy Bob from Champaign or Clinton Co to vote for a person with D beside their name. Running Hillary or an impaired Biden makes it tough to get the tiny margin needed.
Also, don’t be sorry to disagree. What we need is healthy debate. The Democratic Party has obviously been an abject political failure the last decade or so. I don’t think our Republic will survive another failure. Time to get better.
Eh. First they ran Hillary and then tried to force an obviously impaired Biden on the electorate in 2024 then panic replaced him with Harris. They have plenty of blame to bear. Their job is to run someone who won’t lose to a candidate as awful as Trump and they failed to do so.
The most embarrassed group of people on the planet should be @therickwilson.bsky.social and the @democraticparty.bsky.social leadership. They ran candidates that lost to that moron 2 out of 3.
Investors bot S&P futures based on this…
Efficient markets my butt.
"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS
They tried yield futures 30ish years ago.
Would be interested if prediction markets had yield and production markets for state and national numbers for WASDE, Acreage and Stocks reports.
Agree. Best case scenario is Iraq/Iran/Yemen are unstable for another 10 years. Trade flows are disrupted. Any of the other possible 10,000 outcomes are worse.
No one has any clue what the end result of the Trump/Israeli war with Iran is gonna be but the majority of the possible outcomes don’t lead to global economic efficiency gains. The S&P is barely 8% below all-time highs. It’s no screaming buy… yet.
