@Bangkok We don't want people in the circles we run in to know or hear anything about it. It limits the number of options.
@TheCrimsonHeretic I'm exploring it since I have a lady friend who wants to watch me with another woman but not participate. It's difficult to pull that off while maintaining discretion. Getting with an escort is easy and preserves privacy much better than trying to meet someone and steering things in that direction. Like @Typo-MAGAshiv, I've never wanted to outside of that context, though a good friend highly recommends it.
@Vermillion-Rx The Trump Administration and the CFTC have sought to block Utah from enforcing its gambling laws against prediction markets. The criminal charges are an escalation.
@Vermillion-Rx I'm surprised "He Was Controlling" wasn't at the top. That seems to be the go to explanation now.
@MentORPHEUS It wasn't a huge hit at the theaters but got a word of mouth following on video then on cable tv. Wasn't too bad.
The exchange rate is a fundamental indicator of conditions in a country; it's the opposite of cherry picking.
A rats nest of presumptions underlying this statement. That currencies aren't manipulated by the bankster and Globalist class, and that the present Western economic system's present valuation of the Rial's exchange worth isn't affected by the same Globalist class imposing decades of sanctions and trade restrictions, including outright theft of trillions in Iran's wealth.
BRICS and the SCO are poised to take most of the world's countries and currencies off the board away from where the Western elite dominated monetary system has long played them..
Would be nice if all this would end soon.
Literally all the wars of my Adult life going back to the 80s, I've been told by partisan gob slobberers that "This is going to be quick! President is just gonna go in there, and kick some ASS! Country is gonna be a cake walk. We're gonna be in and out of there!!! America has been in Iran's business and borders, since 1953 when my Dad was just a little kid.

@SeasonedRP The current exchange rate of the Rial seems like cherry picking the metric most favorably considerable. Try measuring 5KUSD Iranian missile vs 2x 1.5 million$ Patriot interceptor game iterated 500-2,000 rounds.
@MentORPHEUS The Rial to dollar exchange rate is over 2.2 million per $1. 10 year treasuries are below 5%. The Strait of Hormuz isn't all that important now and will be less so going forward. I have many questions about what is going on and how things are being handled, but Iran isn't kicking anyone's ass.
