With this cost
US can maintain the blockade forever.

Well this is war and while the USA has lost some property, it's a proverbial drop in the bucket.

But I understand they have to take every victory they can claim. Who could blame them?

Diesel here is going to be rising tonight to $2.70 per liter in Toronto.

For those who don't want to do the math, that is CAD$10.26/gallon. Or, USD$7.28/gallon.

So, as PK781 is showing, this is more than just the US perspective. Everyone is feeling it.

From a couple of days ago:

Iran’s proxy money machine: How the Houthis built a multibillion-dollar network despite US sanctions

The Houthis' advance toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is fueled by a sprawling sanctions-evasion network spanning Iranian oil, crypto and Russia.

A bunch of flip-flop wearing dudes seem to be withstanding sanctions just fine. If anything they are thriving. And now, the geopolitics in the region have changed a bit with them having downed an F-15.

Nah i feel you, but we are W'ing so much I kinda drifted away from my pocket. I was already paying my dental bill and finally got the ER bill which i had to go for some panic attack situation, turns out that out of pocket will cost my 1240$... on top of that increasing Gas prices. This medical system in USA is very weird man, and everything is so so costly.

No, Thank God... I used to suffer from bad Panic attack back in Pakistan, for years no one even understand what's going on, after several ECG's and checking with heart specialist finally one doctor figured it out that my symptoms were of Panic attacks. Moving to USA had a positive impact on that and since here i only had 2 episodes. Last one was like 1-2 months ago, I went to ER and after several blood tests, ECG, chest X-ray, some other tests everything came out normal, but definitely advised to go see a specialist for depression, but i am still fighting it to avoid going to a doctor, maybe i should and not take this lightly. But wasn't expecting a co-pay bill of 1200+$. Wasn't expecting to get sick until my dental bill is paid but guess life is a b!tch.

Main Drivers of Wealth

  • Global Licensing: Real estate and resort branding deals expanded heavily in regions like the Middle East and Asia.
  • Media Assets: Holdings tied to Trump Media and Technology Group added substantial paper wealth. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
