When Energy Prices Double in About a Month the Slop Bros Won't Sleep at Night
Barrel of oil price, inflation-adjusted until 2008 financial crisis:
Not inflation-adjusted:
Unhinged leadership does not seem eager to end a conflict that it started (prior to it oil was flowing OK). So speculators in Wall Street are beginning to prepare for the worst (to them). Energy-reliant companies will suffer, set aside the ordinary citizen with petrol ("gas") consumption and utility bills.
As datacentres get hit (to induce high financial damage) and cost more to operate we can expect their hoarding of hardware (which drove up prices; maybe they prepared for shortages associated with a possible invasion of Taiwan) will not make up for or keep up with operational costs associated with power consumption. The more resource-hungry (or greedy) the sector, the harder it'll get hit.
Yes, we're looking at you, "slop industry". At least it'll be "entertaining" to watch it crash and burn because of the stubborn Messianic leadership it invested in. This is no revolution or revolutionary but a high-paced imperial demise due to over-investment in slop. █
