State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

I could not understand what was so bad about wanting your country to be great. Now I understand that MAGA is not about patriotism, the American Dream or actually anything. It was just a slogan for the masses to be misled.
This story about 81-year-old Margaret Wilson in Texas (sometimes described as Georgia in variants) shooting two teens (15 and 16) during a nighttime home invasion—and the families suing her for $1 million—is a viral hoax/fabricated story. It has been circulating heavily on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X since around December 2025, often with dramatic reenactment videos, but it has zero credible backing.

Well, that didn’t take too long. Friday’s false optimism about an imminent peace deal with Iran following Donald Trump’s claims that Iran had agreed to surrender to the US demands, fed wild swing to the positive side in the US stock market and crashed oil prices. Once again, it turns out that Trump was merely manipulating the financial and commodity markets and benefiting wealthy insiders.
There will be no more negotiations between the US and Iran until the US lifts its naval blockade and complies with the 10-points Iran delivered two weeks ago.
I asked Grok:
CNN money.cnn.com shows no updates for premarket US stocks
Yes, you’re right—money.cnn.com (and CNN’s dedicated premarkets page at cnn.com/markets/premarkets) is showing no live premarket updates for US stock indices right now. The page either displays no numerical data at all in the markets section or sticks to stale figures from Friday’s close (e.g., S&P 500 futures around +1.23%, Dow +1.84%, Nasdaq +1.34% unadjusted). There’s even an explicit note on their premarkets page: “Fair value and implied open will be back later this year. Meanwhile, CNN will continue to provide unadjusted index futures data.” No timestamps or live Globex activity is reflected, matching exactly what you’re seeing.This is the same pattern as the NYMEX oil futures delay from the original DarioCpx post. CNN (like many consumer-facing sites) pulls from official CME Group disseminated feeds for futures and indices. Those feeds are either:
CME’s own delayed-quotes pages confirm this behavior, and there was a reported investigation into order-entry/market-data delays as recently as late Sunday. No full Globex outage, but the official “published” data isn’t refreshing in real time across platforms that rely on it.
