UK is doing brilliantly with electricity grid decarbonisation and will be decarbonised by the 2030s. Transport and heat are trickier but don’t rag on the success of the grid efforts

Can’t wait

My guess is certainty for the bank rather than risking the unknown of a blind auction. But the risk is you over price

Yeah so stupid… a 2500 year old empire is actually just a station for a liquid discovered 80 years ago

If it attracted record bids why is the yield so high ? Excuse ignorance

Yeah 100%. Without majority voting reforms the major states won’t or can’t risk a Russian proxy coming to power in any of the periphery states like Orban. Even Ukraine wouldn’t be immune considering 2014-9

“The great man on the greatest day “

Checking my “there’s a permanent liberal to far right blocking majority in European democracies” priors

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

When Lagarde beats Bardella next year it will be sweeter

I would disregard that based on previous history from him.

Quad speak no? Will be Willing to, play a role, if possible, if able it

Ukraine ?

Iran demands fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire Oil exporters’ union says fees to be paid in cryptocurrency and vessels monitored for weapons

FT scoop - Iran will demand that shipping companies pay tolls in cryptocurrency for laden oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. One official says it could be equivalent to $1 per barrel of oil www.ft.com/content/02ae...

Oh yeah totally. In a 2-party system cultural wedge issues matter but not multi party PR systems. There are blocking majorities against this in France, UK Germany,Spain, and most EU countries. Even Meloni governs as a centerist and is popular because the economy is roaring, not cultural issues

This is just bad politics sets him up for humiliation. Trump would not go for a a rally with a guy 10 points down in the polls.

Iranian net cash transfers for opening Hormuz?

“Carpe per diem”. The amount allocated to an employee per day to seize said day.

Yeah. Totally. I’ve put about 100 finance econ people in a list and just religiously follow that list. They all seem to be still regularly posting so I’m good. If they all start to stop posting I’ll do something different. But who actually cares.

Seems like a lot of red arrows

Ah man that last line was perfectly set up for a “and the intern Dario Amodei went on to have a pretty successful career” or some shit

Like most economic theory it sounds brilliant on Substack but is impossible in reality. They can’t embargo Iranian oil as it will push the cost of oil higher on the open market which will cause a deescalation and capitulation for political-economy reasons

Tired of all the Russian winning

I think equator magazine are trying that

Why would Iran reach this conclusion exactly ?

Mate. The lines have been frozen for 2 years and are now static. In the past week Russia launched an offensive and Ukraine used entirely domestically mass-produced drones to kill thousands of men. You are using 1914 theory applied to 2022s context. The world has changed in the past year with drones

It’s a bit of an out dated, simplistic framework. Ukraine are not going to surrender territory politically and can reasonably keep killing 30k Russians per month without western technology, ad infinitum with few losses. Is that winning or losing?

Yeah but going to the WC as a lame duck isn’t ideal either ala Schmidt in 2023. Best case scenario is to sign on post 2027 with a no fault break clause to be triggered post WC.

Yea good thing we have Labour in power to defend Gabriel Pogrund’s honour and the freedom of press

“*cursory google search to double check what I am saying is right*”

Yeah I agree. As a mitigation I think they are probably banned from mentioning Trump by corporate and it’s not actually possible to discuss current events in a geopolitical macro energy sense without mentioning Trump. So you get meaningless drivel.
