We’re falling out a 100 story building and just passed the 75th floor.

Every day that Hormuz is effectively closed is another day it will take to get things back to normal if and when it opens. Oil tankers can take weeks or months to reach ports. Folks who think oil works like a light switch are in for a rude awakening

When the proverbial SH-T hits the fan I hope our government will take the opportunity to clean house in the business world. Bailouts without any accountability or structural change won’t improve the situation. You’re just allowing the rats to hide out for a bit before they return with a vengeance.
