You need a flow chart to keep track of it all but I think here's pretty much what was happening:
1. You get a job at Taco Bell.
2. The feds took some of your money.
3. They gave that money to something called the Environmental Law Institute, which was also taking money from China
4. ELI works with China to tell the US to make energy more expensive because environment
5. China continues to build 500 coal power plants every minute

Following Nayib Bukele’s example, Delcy Rodriguez has pushed the “Fix Everything Easily” button.
In Venezuela, just like in El Salvador, just like in Chicago, all the crime and disorder that materially worsens everyone’s quality of life is caused by a small number of men and law enforcement is very familiar with all of them.
You don’t have to build a social services bureaucracy that assigns multiple professionals to each one of them. You don’t have to pay $500 an hour for a court appointed attorney every time you arrest them to make a deal to keep them out of jail. And you don’t have to spend $150,000 per year per inmate on incarcerating them when they inevitably do something that forces even progressive officials to lock them up.
You can solve a problem that America spends billions failing to deal with for the price of a bullet.

One photo is the heaviest pumpkin from today’s Saratoga Giant PumpkinFest. The other was a photo of a much smaller guy dressed like a pumpkin!

You can say what you want about Iran but they're definitely pretty unique in their communication: never seen a country threaten another with a math equation before 😅
For those who didn't get it: there is a famous monetary policy formula used by the Fed called the "Taylor rule" that says a central bank's policy rate (i) should equal the neutral real rate (r*) plus target inflation (π*), plus 1.5 times the inflation gap and 0.5 times the output gap (the "i = r* + π* + 1.5(π−π*) + 0.5(y−y*)" part of Ghalibaf's formula).
Ghalibaf adds α(SOH−SOH*) and β(BEM−BEM*): SOH referring to the Strait Of Hormuz and BEM to Bab El-Mandeb. Both have positive coefficient, meaning the more those chokepoints are choked, the higher the rate the Fed would have to set to fight the resulting inflation.
In a nutshell this is Ghalibaf trolling the Fed, telling them that Iran is - in a very real way - setting American monetary policy.
