Comments: House Speaker Mike Johnson said Wednesday the issue of Iran getting a nuclear weapon is "taken care of," and now they need to get gas prices down, while simultaneously blaming Democrats and former President Biden for the high prices. A gallon of regular gas currently costs $4.37, well over the $3.19 a gallon from a year ago, according to AAA.
Comments: Here is my rant: ![]() For 47 years, the western media has been blasting negative propaganda about Iranians. So, regardless of how you feel about IRI, the way they defend the country is a source of pride for all who actually care about Iran. It cuts through all the negative propaganda and shows what we can be. It is unfortunate though that many in the west fall for that propaganda. But it is a disaster when some of our own hamvatans fell for it. The slightest error was extrapolated toward broad cultural conclusions. How many times have we heard that we do not work well together. This is why we suck in team sports but do well in individual sports. The last few world cup have shown the exact opposite that with team work, we actually do much better than other teams. This last WC, especially, was spectacular on that front because I do not believe we had much strategic coaching. We just had unity and team work. Any time, I challenged such broad cultural conclusions, I was scolded by the few who from the onset was obvious had very low self confidence. Interestingly enough all of these people (on IFP and elsewhere) all evolved to become RPG fanatics, and all became racists in bright daylight and pretentious white people. Is there a coincidence here? I do not think so because these patterns spanning across some 30 people whom I know through IFP and outside is very unlikely. I once confronted Farzad and Shahin on this issue since they displayed these symptoms the strongest. I was called IRI supporter/apologist, and all sorts of other names. I believe this was right after Shahin call Americans the "most coordinated big people" after the American keeper made a nice save. ![]() Learning from the past and why soccer matters: I am not saying these things to gloat. But am going back in time 1) to learn from the past and not make the same mistakes in the future, and 2) to make the point that a mind set has no limits and applies to everything we do, even when we watch soccer. This is why it is so dangerous to let propaganda to preset your mind. I called Shahin and Farzad empty glasses that have now been filled with propaganda. They did not like that. :) IMHO the lesson for the future is that we are like empty glasses. If we do not fill ourselves up with the truth, others will do that with harmful garbage. This is why media is so crucial in a society. In one where media only has entertainment without content we run the risk of becoming dumb and susceptible to propaganda like American have been for decades and a portion of our population are right now. IMhO, we have one of, if not the richest cultures in the world. We only need to look into our culture to find answers we seek. For Iranians, it is very instructive to close our minds to what comes externally to us. Most of it is very harmful, IMHO.
Comments: On one side we have the smartest people on the planet and on the other side we have the dumbest. The result is what you see today-even with all the boutique weapons and the money at the dumb dumb disposal! This comment says it all.
Comments: I had to delete the emoji. May be with pants on I could have reduced the size somehow.
Comments: I am not wearing pants right now. But will try.
Comments: Hamvatan, Reza , Faramarz and other doostan, There is no doubt in my mind that Iranians are some of the brightest people in the world. Ghalibaf's equation is just a small example of it. No one comes close to us, although Japaneses and followed by Indians are close 2nd and 3rd. But Iranians are simple the best. Can you imagine what we could have accomplished had we not been attacked by every "fucker" in the history?

Comments: Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand You can say what you want about Iran but they're definitely pretty unique in their communication: never seen a country threaten another with a math equation before For those who didn't get it: there is a famous monetary policy formula used by the Fed called the "Taylor rule" that says a central bank's policy rate (i) should equal the neutral real rate (r*) plus target inflation (π*), plus 1.5 times the inflation gap and 0.5 times the output gap (the "i = r* + π* + 1.5(π−π*) + 0.5(y−y*)" part of Ghalibaf's formula). Ghalibaf adds α(SOH−SOH*) and β(BEM−BEM*): SOH referring to the Strait Of Hormuz and BEM to Bab El-Mandeb. Both have positive coefficient, meaning the more those chokepoints are choked, the higher the rate the Fed would have to set to fight the resulting inflation. In a nutshell this is Ghalibaf trolling the Fed, telling them that Iran is - in a very real way - setting American monetary policy. Quote محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf @mb_ghalibaf · 14h Straits Taylor Rule: i = r* + π* + 1.5(π−π*) + 0.5(y−y*) + α(SOH−SOH*) + β(BEM−BEM*), α,β > 0 Let’s see if a hike could open SOH or produce a single barrel :) You can’t 25bp a chokepoint and r* isn’t neutral. It’s SOH risk premium, and We set it. Stay unanchored !

Comments: That is so pathetic. Where are those idiots who were bragging about this country? It now has officially the most corrupt and incompetent government.
Comments: President is a pedophile First Lady is a prostitute Vice President fucks couches FBI director fucks animals Health secretary is a heroin addict Attorney general protects pedophiles Secretary of defense is a drunk The Trump admin, ladies and gentlemen.
Comments: And today, Ten year T reached as high as 5.02% before coming down. It keep creeping up.
Comments: It is not just shortage of oil. It is also shortage of ship fuel to haul it around. It used to be $550/ton. Now it is well over $800/ton. In major refueling hubs like in Singapore, it is even more than that. Add to that now having to go around Africa which adds a full three weeks to the journey, you have a disaster on your hands.
