Something To Talk About

Apparently they did not learn the first time.

Saudi Arabia looks prepared to make their second trillion-dollar mistake.


********************************
Something Else To Talk About

Some say the White House is disorganized, not getting anything done.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me but it seems there is more happening, more going on under the Trump administration (one year) than what went on during the previous eight years. I literally cannot keep up. But again, it may just be me. Regardless of where you stand politically, there just seems to be more going on.

John Kemp, Reuters London-based oil analyst, seems to have also noticed.


It would be nice to see a similar list of disputes between the White House and the Washington, DC, bureaucracy. And the changes that are occurring.
