What should you do if you pull up on a car crash before emergency services arrive? Let me walk you through what I did yesterday while driving with the family to the grocery store. Traffic backed up ahead of us and around a corner someone rear ended another car, there was airbag deployment.

A US export ban on diesel would be really bad news for all of Latin America. Mexico (MX) would be hardest hit, but Chile (CL), Peru (PE), Ecuador (EC), Brazil (BR) and Argentina (AR) are all vulnerable. Diesel prices would spike, hitting everyone hard... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/will-there...

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

gas prices seeing slight decline as price cycling states see competition undercutting each other pushing prices slightly lower, but diesel continues to rise... $4.292 for gasoline, $6.191 for diesel. Americans today will spend ~$736 million more on fuel than one year ago

If you really want to predict the next big market downturn in watch for automotive advertising. They stop advertising (or significantly reduce) when people stop buying cars and trucks. I was working in TV back before the 2008 market downturn. We saw auto ads almost stop months before it happened.
