-M Jacob

SB: We'll be looking at TSY to keep the retail gas stations honest. 'You did this on the way up, you better be doing this on the way down

SE: That sounds like a warning

SB: I'm sure everybody will be a good actor

3 weeks in, #Iran #war escalates beyond Trump's control [not that it was ever in his control after the first attack]

#Trump ends the 3rd week of the Iran war confronting a crisis that seems to be slipping out of his hands∶ Global #energy prices are surging, the #US stands isolated from [former] #allies & more ​#troops are preparing to deploy despite his promise the war would be only a "short excursion."
