Sunday Day Two, Day Free, Daytime TV

Greetings, So, welcome to “Day 2”. The Iranian Parliament has just voted to close the Straits of Hormuz, which would most threaten the finances of… Iran. Vice President JD Vance has already described it as economic suicide to do so, without reference to what Israeli/US bombing has done to the Iranian economy already. Whoever takes over Iran will desperately need to export oil. The Trump Administration will do everything they can to help them, backed

US Biofuels: Roll Me Over in the Clover

With the world watching the Straits of Hormuz, perhaps less on EU natgas prices squeezing on Israeli natgas and refining outages, little attention has been paid to major moves in US biofuel markets over the past couple of weeks. We got ya. This has just about nothing to do with global geopolitics, and everything to do with US domestic politics. We now have an increase in regulation from The Trump Administration, and yet more government

Sunday End Games, 1979, and Ginger Tea

Happy Father’s Day! Having lunch with the three kids this afternoon at 5pm. Specific “Mother’s” and “Father’s Day” as such are American inventions, in West Virginia 1907 for Mother’s Day, and 1909 for Father’s Day as a complement, to be fair to Fathers. Should really be Mom’s Day and Dad’s Day. Mother’s Day in the UK has its origins in the 16th-century custom of ‘Mothering Sunday’, which fell on the fourth Sunday of Lent. So
