  1. I had read a news story that said that, [in essence]:

    [experts say that: while Iran’s sea-ports are blocked, in the Iran War, Iran’s government is losing oil sales, sales + profits that Iran needs to keep its government + military funded.

    If 1) these sea-ports are kept closed…until September of 2026, then 2) Iran’s government leaders won’t have the money needed to pay its government and its military.]

    What do people think?

    If The U.S. military keeps blocking Iran’s sea-ports, will this cause
    1) Iran’s government leaders to stop funding Iran’s government + military, and 2) could these [government + military people] not getting paid, cause Iran’s government and military to stop working?

    Please tell what you think of this report. Thanks.

  2. All this shows is women suffer social pressure at least as if not more so than men!

  3. Could you sing it in five notes

    If the fundamentals are sound (thats a big if) there shouldnt be such wild fluctuations

    That seems to be occams razor

    The opposite is the bio of one of the ayers kids zayd being broadcast far and wide by the Times and other outlets

  4. Wasn’t scrofula the disease that was supposedly cured by the king’s touch?

  5. @Eeyore:Wasn’t scrofula the disease that was supposedly cured by the king’s touch?

    It was. As a boy Samuel Johnson was touched for it by Queen Anne, but it didn’t help him.
