The operative issue that's most interesting here is that Trump is becoming desperate in his need to get out of this self-created nightmare and get onward with --> anything <-- any way he can

Trump realizes he's blown it completely, now how does he escape?

"“It feels like a #war on consumers,” said Sally Greenberg, the executive director of the National Consumers League, a 125-year-old consumer advocacy group. Households are being hit by “a tsunami of fees and hidden charges and tricks and traps”, she said.

...consumers “are starting to realize that a lot of the cool #data and #technology is being used against them”."

#G7 Leaders Praise #US - #Iran Deal, Then #Trump Threatens Tehran Again

Trump said that the United States would resume bombing Iran if “they don’t behave” in implementing the deal, even as he acknowledged “nobody knows what it is.”

The new “ #fund” is a #private investment “vehicle”, not a #reconstruction or #reparations program & will not include any ⁠government money or grants, the source said, adding that #corporations based in the #US, the #GulfArabStates, #Asia, #SouthAmerica & #Africa have agreed to commit financing [in exchange for????].

Investments ​pledged span #energy, #logistics, #manufacturing & #transport, the source said.

A $300 billion #private #fund [oh, JFC, another one of those] purportedly designed ​to trigger “investment” into #Iran is outlined in the #US-Iran framework agreement & more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with ‌direct knowledge told Reuters.

The fund is supposedly designed to give “both sides” an economic incentive to conclude a final deal….

Ummm, what was that old chestnut #Trump likes to trod out . . . “ #PalletsOfCash”. Yeah, okay, sure, jackass.

Exclusive: #Iran “deal” includes $300 billion fund, more than half of which already committed, source says

[I’m not saying it isn’t owed, just pointing out the obvious #hypocrisy]

According to federal data released Monday, #US officials released another 8.9 million barrels from the #SPR last week alone.

That leaves the US #emergency #oil reserve with 340.3 million barrels of crude….

The last time the SPR had less oil than today was July 1983, when the Reagan admin was filling the reserve for the first time & when the US had a smaller #economy.

#US emergency #oil stockpile tumbles to lowest since the Reagan administration

The amount of oil in the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve [ #SPR] plunged last week to the lowest level since 1983 as the #Trump admin continues to deploy emergency oil to minimize the damage from his #war with #Iran.

I’ll believe it when I see it

#Pakistan's prime minister says #Iran, #US have reached peace deal; accord to cover #Lebanon

Tomorrow will bring some other excuse for #Trump to carpet bomb Iranian #civilians or their essential #infrastructure

Until Trump is gone, nothing means anything. Words are falsehoods. Government is a scam.

From Eden Shamy: Longtime critics of the gas tax holiday measure say that the idea amounts to scrounging for quarters in a junk drawer rather than focusing on the root cause of inflationary policies.

That hasn't stopped some #Democrats from embracing it. https://www.texasobserver.org/talarico-dems-gas-tax-holiday/

New from Eden Shamy: “We’re increasingly seeing Democratic politicians fight fire with fire by engaging in populist rhetoric similar to that of Donald Trump, even if from a policy perspective it’s irresponsible.” https://www.texasobserver.org/talarico-dems-gas-tax-holiday/

#ElonMusk controls reusable rockets that are the backbone of the #US space program. His constellation of #satellites in #space represents a pillar of US #defense. And he has struck deals with leading #ArtificialIntelligence companies to fuel the #AI revolution.
Now the public sale of #SpaceX shares will not only dramatically increase #Musk’s wealth, likely making him the world’s first #trillionaire, but it will expand his reach into pivotal sectors of the global #economy.
