A modern economy doesn’t run on oil alone. It runs on thousands of inputs—most of which it doesn’t produce anymore. Break one link, and the whole system tightens. That’s what you’re watching happen now. ⸻ Sources & Attributions Social Media (Editorial / Commentary Use) https://www.linkedin.com/in/merlenye https://x.com/joshuafarahzad https://x.com/MerleNye News / Context United Nations News (Strait of Hormuz disruption reporting) Public Domain Footage U.S. Department of Defense via DVIDS https://www.dvidshub.net/video/997733/us-forces-launch-operation-epic-fury https://www.dvidshub.net/video/998719/operation-epic-fury-we-control-skies Stock Media Adobe Stock Alamy Music Artlist (Licensed) https://artlist.io ⸻ Disclaimer The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement. ⸻ Chapters 0:00 Prices are about to move 1:11 Why Hormuz actually matters 3:34 The system most people don’t see 5:09 Chemicals to metals to everything 7:03 The cascade 8:07 The energy myth 13:51 A different industrial model 17:02 Proto Town 19:22 Hard assets vs markets 20:34 The shift to scarcity Learn to invest alongside the top minds in commodities.
