Tangentially related but just watched this pretty interesting youtube mini-doc-thing about the recent moves China has been making regarding oil (and its bigger picture): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkA0bkb6ZO0

That video was masterfully done, and it’s shocking how quiet the mainstream and financial media has been about this topic. Everything is an AI chip story, and the looming oil crisis is completely under discussed because we have goldfish memories and can’t appreciate what a massive move China made.

    It won’t be a proper crisis if we knew it was coming, media will go full tilt when they actually see and feel it and They’ll act like it came out of nowhere. Until then, did you hear Taylor Swift got married!?

    Not quiet, it's on the front page of reuters and other reputable news for the past two weeks essentially.

    People are not noticing/caring to notice.

    And yes the youtube video is masterfully done IMO. I'm happy I caught it when It was first uploaded.

Clicked it and was greeted by a YouTube ad opening “How the fuck am I going to get a big dick from eating gelatin?” And then the woman in scrubs on the cowboy’s front porch explained it all to him.

It’s nice because it ensures I’m never going to get over-smart from watching YouTube. Plus I gotta go get some Jell-O.
