@marketthoughts.bsky.social

How I see the last developments about Iran: The US became unnerved by the dilatory tactics of Iran and tried some weak bombing to scare them. Then threatened with more, and today they served TACOs. Iran is still comfortable in the current situation, so no deal, I think. I might be wrong, of course.

I finally understand the courage of Marianne Williamson and why she stood out when nobody was giving her a microphone. The Democratic Party was too pretentious and ossified to give her space. They settled for the mediocre. And now we all must pay. https://open.substack.com/pub/theearthdrama/p/why-america-couldnt-hear-marianne?r=1trrnn
