The U.S. Economy Is Insulated From High Oil Prices.
-- Americans Aren’t.
The overall economy has proved resilient in recent years,
even as many households have struggled.
The war with Iran is following the same pattern.

The little owl, Athena noctua, is well-known as the companion of the goddess Athena, though it is uncertain how she became associated with the nocturnal birds. In Europe, the owl therefore represents wisdom and is the symbol of many a university.
The ancient Greeks showed #Athena with her favourite bird in their art, like for instance this bronze statuette of Athena flying her owl, dated ca.…

It began flowing from underwater oil wells located seven miles out to sea.
It flowed up to what used to be Exxon’s massive industrial plant along the Gaviota Coast.
And, ultimately, it flowed into two old pipelines that caused the 2015 massive oil disaster,
-- pipelines so corroded that Sable had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to patc…

Unlike his predecessors,
Trump does not even pretend that his imperialism serves any purpose nobler than American domination
For Trump, “America first” didn’t imply any legal or moral opposition to foreign invasions.

Instead, Trump promised short wars in which onl…

Oil prices have climbed again amid mounting supply fears after the US struck Iran’s vital Kharg Island oil hub and Donald Trump demanded allies help reopen the strait of Hormuz.
Brent crude, the international benchmark, rose 1.8% to $104.98 per barrel during early trading on Monday.
Another weekend of violence across the Middle East compounded concerns over the conflict, and its ramifications for global energy markets.
Trump claimed on Saturday that US strikes had “totally …

Darren Woods is known mostly as the chairman of ExxonMobil,
the largest U.S. oil company.
On Friday, however, he made noise in a different sphere by placing an obscure financial term into the political lexicon:
"#Uninvestible."
That's how Woods described Venezuela
—more specifically, Venezuela's oil industry.
His remark came during a meeting of s…
