Friday morning #headlines recap

Houthi missile destroys an aircraft at Riyadh's King Khalid airport; Lufthansa suspends flights until at least Oct 16.

Trump says no Iran strike "at any time prior" to Nov 3; NYT says the Pentagon has a three-day campaign ready. They probably don’t have supplies to fight for more than three days. Meanwhile Brent rose above $108.

Two oil supply hits at once: Hormuz transits at a two-month low, and Isaias shuts 63% of US Gulf output. I miss the days when hurricanes were named exclusively for women (due to both having a very unpredictable nature) and used normal, White names.

Kiev in "survival mode": Klitschko tells residents who have somewhere else to go to leave; 33 killed in a strike on buses.

OpenAI's run-rate came in $20B short of what investors had been told, which hit Oracle and the AI credit stack.

US gas turbine orders reached 35GW in H1, and no turbine type can now be delivered in under a year. The window for buying their way out of the grid shortage is closing.

Editor’s note: I’m skipping any news stories having to do with H-1B crackdowns because we all know it is theatrical posturing leading up to the election.

Starbucks is exploring a chipotle takeover. lol. Combining two bad companies never makes a good company.

Remember it’s #niggerfriday folks, so maintain your situational awareness at all times…
