diesel prices, especially in california..
//
According to the Oct. 19 report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the nation’s average price for diesel was $6.276 per gallon. Although the price has declined since it hit a record mark of $6.53 on Sept. 21, truckers and farmers are still dealing with unprecedented fuel costs. Before September 2026, the national average for diesel had never surpassed $5.816. Additionally, diesel was only $3.62 one year ago.
Even worse, diesel prices in California sit at $8.242 per gallon, up $3.344 from October 2025. |

I work in private aviation. We are swamped with Private jets leaving the region past 48hrs. Not just wealthy expats and diplomats, royals leaving undercover. This started on Monday night for us, meaning they knew way before the announcements today 👁️

Felipe González confirma que votará en blanco y asegura que si Milei vuelve a España «15 veces más, gana Sánchez»
«Si nos visita 15 veces más Milei es posible que gane Sánchez», ha añadido González, quien ha reprochado que el presidente argentino «insulta». «¿Cómo se puede ir a un país solo a insultar? Es una falta de educación cívica, además de política increíble. Si viniera más, cambiaría mucho el voto», ha explicado González, que dijo que va a votar por correo. |

spal... from the bridge all i see is wreckage..
which was in line with the macro view of exponential debt growth and exponential debt growth.. ATM housing in reverse...consumer confidence at a 75 year low...and PPI inflation in annualized double digits
physical gold and silver behaving as expected... monthly physical buying at an ATH... but paper gold and silver futures with algos in negative momentum feeding on itself... "A tale of two markets".
Eventually they will go net short and will snap back. |

| Traditional industrial economy has experienced a multi-year slump (ISM Manufacturing hovering around or below the 50 contraction line), small-cap earnings growth (Russell 2000) remains constrained by high interest rates, and freight/transport volumes have lagged. Concurrently, broader equity indices are driven almost entirely by extreme capital concentration in the AI supply chain and mega-cap technology platforms. |

pana, by breaking with Sanchez she saves her political future
//
does she?? and where is she going? to which party?
the only leftist party that has any future is the psoe.
look at podemos, some say it could disappear in these elections.
the way to save her political future is to stay in the psoe, deal with sanchez, and find the right moment to get rid of him..
psoe reborn.
the same thing sanchez did for himself. |

| Vic, agree with your last post. |
|

| Vic, my view is opposite, Ortega knows she has no chance to win, by breaking with Sanchez she saves her political future, bcz didn't endorse a guy that created an immigration chaos, and that is a very sensible issue in Malaga. |
|
10-22-26 victor
pana, it's great news actually, if sanchez loses the election, but manages to keep control of the psoe..
because the new generation of psoe leaders, who could challenge the PP in the future, will be suffocated by sanchez before they can make it. |
|
10-22-26 victor
pana, an example would be:
Ortega doesn't quit and, after the elections, decides to challenge sanchez for the psoe leadership.
that won't be happening. |
|

| Vic, ok...to anti-Sanchez like me, still good news. |

| pana, yes, and others who also quit in palencia. |

We are still talking abt. Katrin Ortega, right?

pana, breaking with an allied is bad news for Sanchez
which ally?
those who are quitting the psoe are not his allies, but his potential enemies.
that's how sanchez became psoe leader: by backstabbing the former leader, susana diaz, and turning the psoe against her.
he doesn't want the same to happen to him. |

| Spal, not sure how that plays out to be honest. |

Vic, not sure Redondo is right, usually socialists sell their souls to add votes, i.e. the fusion in EU between LQBTQ and Islamism.
So, breaking with an allied is bad news for Sanchez. |

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele launches military operation in Haiti, threatens to eviscerate Haitian gangs as he did to gangs in El Salvador if they don't return hostages.
The statement came after four Salvadoran men were kidnapped by Haitian gangs.
"Today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive," he said.
Bukele says the four Salvadoran men are aviation technicians.
"They were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area.
"That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm."
Bukele then issued a warning if gang leaders harm any of the men.
"I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive..."
"And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too..."
"Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping." |

pana, redondo explains the reason why sanchez doesnt care if malaga's Katrin Ortega and other psoe people quit..
and why sanchez is also purging the psoe of popular figures.
sanchez only wants people who are 100% faithful to him in next congress..
so these deputies won't stage a coup against him, and will keep him as psoe leader even if he loses the elections.
and, according to redondo, sanchez is already assuming that he will lose.

Daniel Bueno Vorcaro (born October 6, 1983) is a Brazilian businessman and former majority owner/president of Banco Master (formerly Banco Máxima). Once celebrated as a meteoric "outsider" in Brazil's banking sector, Vorcaro became central to one of the largest corporate financial frauds in South American history following the extrajudicial liquidation of Banco Master in late 2025.
===
At the center of the latest scandal is Daniel Vorcaro, a disgraced banker responsible for the country’s largest ever banking fraud and a much less-discussed scheme for legally ripping off public workers through a payroll-deduction credit card. In only a few years, Vorcaro became incredibly well-connected, benefiting from the benign neglect of the Central Bank president and paying off other directors at the institution. He hosted bunga-bunga parties in New York for Brazil’s financial and political elite and traveled on one of his multiple private jets to Courchevel with his “friend for life,” an influential senator to whom he was paying monthly stipends of between $60,000 and $95,000. The scandal around Vorcaro’s defunct Banco Master revealed a compromised regulator, a drained state bank, bought-off politicians, a prison suicide, plunder of public funds, and a very bad bit of cinema.
