The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Oil prices fall more than 2% as mediators try to prevent U.S. and Iran from returning to war

Oil prices fell Thursday, as mediators between the U.S. and Iran work to prevent the latest round fighting from escalating into a return to full-blown war.

Brent crude futures, the international benchmark, were down nearly 2.7% to $75.78 per barrel. West Texas Intermediate futures fell about 2.6% to $71.57.

Qatar and Pakistan are working to bring Washington and Tehran back to the negotiating table, officials from the countries told MS NOW.

What is actually being said to the Iranians, behind closed doors: "Vance doesn't know what he's talking about. You aren't being played for fools, while Trump mollifies his base, until after the election. Trump really and truly, wants peace, with you guys still in power, and receiving Billions in reparations."

I had been looking for COP to break below $100, before making an entry, but it's only at $108 right now.
