So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

@bedoyausa.bsky.social and I are now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
People are dying in this horrific war. On this Friday's @thefairfightpod.bsky.social live, me and @maxmmiller.bsky.social will ask:
Who is getting *rich*?
Tune in at 8:45am ET / 7:45am CT on YT. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/c...
This is the second largest LNG company in the US. This company's CEO was also at that oil and gas exec dinner at Mar-a-Lago where Trump asked for $1 billion. They gave $1 million to the inauguration.
Stock ticker for Cheniere Energy showing a sharp increase in the stock after the Feb. 27 initiation of the Iran conflict.
This is the largest liquid natural gas company in the US.
It's CEO was at the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser where candidate Trump asked oil & gas execs for $1 billion. They gave $250K to a Trump-affiliated PAC in 2024.
Notice anything?
River or sankey diagram showing the allocation of profits from global oil and gas companies to quantiles of the US wealth size distribution via financial system intermediaries, such as asset managers, and categories of ultimate beneficiaries, such as business owners, pension funds and shareholders in listed companies. The scale is hundreds of billions of US dollars, and ultimately 50.4% of profits reaching the US personal wealth distribution go to the richest 1% of households.
π¨NEW PAPERπ¨
We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A𧡠www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.
Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.
Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.
yet there is always money for bombs
CA AG Bonta on WBD merger: "The deal is not done"
Californiaβs attorney general @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov tells The Weeknight his office will investigate the possible merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, hours after Netflix backed away from a planned takeover.
β$6 billion in synergiesβ is the new Aristocrats
thank you!
@bedoyausa.bsky.social @thefairfightpod.bsky.social Great show today gentlemen!

if you want 77 minute summary, with side quests into David Ellison's acting debut in Flyboys, into how this merger is completely rotten, we got you www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRpi...
#1 has to happen today, or thereabouts, too.

stopping the Paramount / Warner Brothers merger in 3 steps
#1 AG Rob Bonta moves to block it w/ other state AGs
#2 presidential candidates (& leading Ds) make clear they'll undo this corrupt merger the second they're in charge
#3 everyone unsubscribes from Paramount+ TODAY
Live now talking about the fact that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi are about to be part owners of CNN www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRpi...

Will be live on YT in 30 minutes to talk about how not 3 months ago Larry Ellison was talking about the White House about pulling *specific CNN anchors off the air.* From @hugolowell.bsky.social:
This is good news
It's a tough ask but I'm convinced bari weiss is up to the challenge
Yep
One Family controls Fox News, Fox Sports, FX, the New York Post, Harper Collins, the Times and Sun in the UK and the Wall Street Journal.
That horse left the barn a long time ago.
god I wish people realized how much power they actually have
If we collectively cancelled our subscriptions to these servicesβfor even 1 month!βwe could change this
1 month of our effort in exchange for a government that works for the people, not against them
For what it's worth, me and @maxmmiller.bsky.social will be live @thefairfightpod.bsky.social tomorrow at 8:45am ET / 7:45am CT to talk about what a Paramount takeover of CNN & HBO would mean for free speech in our country. You can watch on YT @ TheFairFight. Will post a link here in the morning.
A strong state attorney general like California's @robbonta.bsky.social or Colorado's @philweiser.bsky.social
could intervene and try to stop this. Bonta, to his great credit, has already effectively thrown a flag on this acquisition. I hope he is able to act. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...
