III

Al Jazeera at 215 ET - US military pushes for boost in spending on drones, air defences US military officials have called for spending tens of billions of dollars in the next budget year on drones, air defence systems, and fighter jets that have been a key part of fighting the war on Iran. As part of President Trump’s push to boost defence spending to $1.5 trillion in the 2027 budget, the Pentagon wants to triple spending on drones and related technology to more than $74bn and invest $30bn into more critical munitions, including missile interceptors whose stockpiles have become critically low during the Iran war. Military officials said the spending blueprint was developed before the conflict in the Middle East. They also did not discuss how much they will request in additional funds for the war, which would be on top of what the White House is seeking to boost defence spending in the next budget year. “The overlap, you’ll see, is the request for munitions, which is something we always need,” Jules Hurst III, acting undersecretary of defense and the Pentagon’s comptroller, told reporters at a briefing. “We always need to increase our magazine depth. But outside of that, there aren’t any operational costs in here from Iran.”

**“Once it goes to Schedule 3, all states can legalize recreational”** Incorrect. States **already have the power** to legalize recreational cannabis regardless of federal scheduling. **“Trump wants CBD legalized nationwide… and needs Schedule 3 to do so”** **CBD is already federally legal** if derived from hemp under the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (≤0.3% THC). Scheduling changes (Schedule I → III) apply to **marijuana (THC-containing cannabis)**, not hemp-derived CBD. There’s no clear, current policy platform from Donald Trump tying CBD legalization to Schedule III specifically.

No-Sheepherder-1707

No confusion here. EO signed today 04/18/2026 has nothing to do with EO signed on 12/18/2025 which was Executif order to change cannabis from schedule 1 to schedule 3: President Trump signed the executive order on **December 18, 2025**. The reporting I found says it directed federal agencies to move marijuana from Schedule I toward Schedule III, though the actual rescheduling process still had to be completed by the relevant agencies.

Why no one talk about this 😭🤣🤣 At the same time that the U.S. plans to impose sanctions on Chinese banks that buy Iranian oil… the Russians have declared that Europe’s attempts to rearm Ukraine with money and drones are a threat to the Russian Federation. If Europe begins producing Ukraine’s attack drones in European countries, it would amount to an extremely dangerous escalation of the conflict, with the greatest risk of World War III ever seen…! It is Russian top politicians and diplomats who, unfortunately, have increasingly begun talking about World War III…! Ukraine can no longer produce much military equipment—over 80% of its weapons production has been destroyed…!!! Kyiv is now asking Europe for drone production and other equipment…! This would make European drone and weapons manufacturers legitimate targets for Russian attacks or sabotage…!!! And thus World War III… the European elites do not care about their own populations as long as they can stop the Russians

Post-2008, the goal of the Basel III frameworks (and the revised "Endgame" rules we just saw roll out in March 2026) was to insulate the banking system by forcing them to shed riskier, illiquid loans. But the demand for that capital didn't go away, it just migrated into the "shadows" of private credit. We’ve effectively traded the "Socialized Losses" risk of the 2008 banking crisis for an "Opaque Liquidity" risk in the private fund space.  Most of these private credit funds exploded in size during the ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) era. When the hurdle rate was effectively zero, billions was poured into SaaS startups where they burned massively to capture growth. ZIRP is dead and we are in the hangover phase. Now that we’re sitting at 3.75%–4% Fed Funds rates, the math has fundamentally changed. Loans originated 3–5 years ago are facing a massive refinancing wave in 2026-2027, and many of these borrowers simply can't handle the new cost of debt.  The real concern isn't that private credit exists, it is a vital engine for growth, it’s who is holding the bag.  The irony is that state and local pension funds have spent the last decade underperforming because they were limited to "safe" assets, leading to the unfunded liability crisis we see today. Now, in a desperate bid to close that gap, they are piling into private credit at the exact moment when the "illiquidity premium" is shrinking and default rates are climbing (especially in sectors like healthcare). Private credit is a necessary part of the ecosystem, but you have to wonder if the underwriting teams at a mid-sized teachers' union or a municipal pension fund are actually equipped to audit the "back deals" and recursive leverage inside these mega-funds. If these funds are being led to slaughter, it won't be because private credit is a scam; it’ll be because they are buying underpriced risk to hit an arbitrary 7% return target that they can’t find anywhere else.  We’ve moved the risk out of the banks, but we’ve placed it directly onto the retirement accounts of the public sector… which could be the next TBTF needing a gov bailout.

[DOJ MOVES CANNABIS CLOSER TO SCHEDULE III The DOJ says marijuana rescheduling is in its final phase after DEA input and 43,000 public comments. The change would not legalize cannabis federally but would ease research, taxes, and banking rules. It also moves marijuana out of the same category as heroin, but the rule is not final yet.

The two key words people need to read up on (Damodaran is good for that) : *TERMINAL VALUE*. Even if you think AI isn't threatening software now, what about in 5 years when you will surely be able to prompt a entire software from Claude Opus 7 or 8? What about 10 years from now? Don't get me wrong, some companies will manage to reinvent themselves and pivot towards an AI-based business model but (I) they can also fail, (II) their unit economics may degrade as they may have to give some of their revenue to companies providing them the compute and (III) their moat could erode anyways as shifting from one software provider to another (whether for your ERP, HR, CRM etc) will be easier thanks to AI-enabled migration most likely. My personal thesis is that software will continue generating a lot of value, but to the users of software (think a dentist who can prompt their own booking and billing system) rather than the providers. This could be bullish for sectors that would most stand to software being commodotised and much cheaper to produce to make their operations more cost efficient and/or revenue generative - which could include very boring businesses!

You’re overthinking the micro and ignoring the macro. Schedule III isn’t about instant growth it’s about removing 280E which is crushing these companies. That’s not 5 to 7 percent dude for a lot of them it’s the difference between barely surviving and real cash flow overnight. And this isn’t some maybe situation anymore the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services already recommended it and it’s sitting with the Drug Enforcement Administration. That process is happening whether you like it or not. Yeah cannabis is a commodity but that actually helps the strong players once taxes drop and capital flows in. Weak companies get wiped or bought out margins improve and consolidation happens. You keep saying no growth but you’re ignoring what happens when federal pressure keeps building and things open up more over time. This sector isn’t mature it’s artificially suppressed. Holding puts here isn’t some high IQ thesis bro it’s just betting the government randomly stops the process mid stream. That’s a risky bet, you'll definitely get rekt but good luck

CNBC and other sources put it around $3T but it’s hard to estimate and $3T might even be conservative. Either way relative to the total credit market, hundreds of trillions, it’s a drop. The majority of the private credit crunch tied to software company borrowing is actually due in 2028, roughly 25% matures then, not now. Private credit alone doesn’t pose a systemic risk in my opinion and that seems to be the rough market consensus too. Partly because as the name implies most of it is private. In 2007-08 when Bear Stearns showed the first signs of stress it looked to every expert like a contained issue. No metrics, no formulas that could assess the real extent of it. I’ll assume some here know what changed with Basel III so I won’t go deep but essentially banks are now forced by regulation to transfer risk off their balance sheets. In practice: ∙ Banks lend to private credit firms profiting off spreads and fees while credit risk sits off their balance sheet inside the fund ∙ BNPL providers (PayPal, Klarna etc.) originate loans and immediately securitize them as ABS, repackaged into CDOs. Structurally different from GFC era instruments but not necessarily safer ∙ Insurance companies hold this paper under accounting rules that don’t require mark-to-market so losses stay invisible until they aren’t ∙ CLO pools are leveraged and tranches get sold to other funds or shadow entities It looks much smaller than a GFC scenario but we genuinely don’t know the real scale. Before Basel III the entities doing this were mostly banks so even when risks were disguised a rough picture could be captured if anyone looked hard enough. Now the risk is dispersed across private unregulated opaque entities. Could be smaller than feared, could be larger. Nobody knows. What I’d stress: MBS was a regulated, rated, publicly traded market. Most of what’s being discussed here is private, unrated, or held by entities with no mark-to-market obligation. We won’t know the real exposure until someone is forced to recognize it and by then it’s already a crisis.

Yea, this is formerly MindMed. Underwent a name change recently as they are gearing up for commercial launches. Clinical trials are underway at the moment, Phase III results are currently being developed. They will be announced this quarter, Q2 2026. The stock is purely speculative given a few different variables and is solely contingent on the PIII trial results. Market sentiment is pricing in the expectation that those results are well received but if they flop then the stock will tank. But if they’re good results could easily see prices of $35-50.

>Report: Marijuana Industry Paid $2.24 Billion in Excess Federal Taxes in 2025 Due to 280E, a refreshed analysis from Whitney Economics reports. Since 2018, the legal marijuana industry has paid more than $27 billion in federal taxes, according to the analysis, with $15 billion of that tied specifically to 280E-related tax burdens. “With pricing compression occurring in every major U.S. cannabis market, declining state cannabis tax revenues are resulting in state cannabis tax increases," Whitney said. Whitney Economics says one of the biggest potential changes would come if marijuana is moved from Schedule I to Schedule III. The report says such a shift would improve cash flow, raise business valuations and likely attract new investment into the industry. MH

https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/LSB11227?hl=cannabis&s=4&r=10 Some key points that I see people consistently getting wrong: >Accordingly, rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III would open the door for the medical marijuana industry to market their products consistent with federal law. Any such products must still comply with other federal legal requirements, such as the FD&C Act, before they could be legally marketed in the United States. Rescheduling thus **would not automatically legalize** medical marijuana in the United States. >Generally, rescheduling a drug from Schedule I to Schedule III loosens the controls on medical research involving that drug. Researchers and manufacturers of Schedule III substances are subject to less-onerous registration requirements than researchers and manufacturers of Schedule I substances. However, **medical researchers and drug sponsors of marijuana or CBD containing drugs would not benefit from these looser restrictions associated with rescheduling without congressional action**. >Marijuana cannot legally be marketed in foods or dietary supplements due to its status as a controlled substance under the CSA. The CSA criminalizes the possession, distribution, and manufacture of marijuana, except for the purpose of federally approved research, due to its status as a Schedule I controlled substance. **Rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III would not legalize the use of marijuana in food or dietary supplements because recreational uses of marijuana are illegal under the CSA**. Activities involving marijuana in food or dietary supplements **would remain criminal offenses** under the CSA, even if the proposed rule rescheduling marijuana goes into effect. >FDA has authority to regulate tobacco products, defined to mean "any product made or derived from tobacco," including products that contain nicotine from any source, that is "intended for human consumption." Tobacco products may include but are not limited to cigarettes, cigars, hookah, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), which include e-cigarettes and vape pens. **So long as marijuana is classified as a controlled substance**, it cannot legally be a component of a tobacco product for recreational purposes, even if the rescheduling rule is finalized, because the CSA does not authorize recreational uses of any controlled substance. Hemp, however, may be incorporated into tobacco products without running afoul of the CSA. >**If DEA reschedules marijuana, any drug containing marijuana would need to be approved by FDA before it could be legally marketed and sold in the United States.** >**Even if DEA reschedules marijuana as a Schedule III substance, it cannot be used recreationally in food, dietary supplements, tobacco products, or cosmetics.** Both Congress and the executive branch have the authority to reschedule marijuana, and Congress recently has considered rescheduling marijuana or removing marijuana from control under the CSA. If Congress considers the latter, Congress may consider whether to impose a new regulatory framework on marijuana and, if so, which agency should be tasked with such authority. When crafting any such legislation, Congress might consider standards for safety, manufacturing, labeling, adverse event reporting, inspection, testing, premarket review, enforcement authority, and any other relevant considerations.

Albert Einstein famously implied that World War III would be so technologically destructive that civilization would regress, stating, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". He believed a third global conflict would essentially destroy modern civilization, forcing survivors back to a primitive existence.

I finished rough draft Act II of my first novel this evening. Hopefully Act III doesn't take another year. I think the statistic goes, about 80% to 90% of people believe they have at least one good novel in them. Around 55% of them believe their life story is interesting enough to write a novel about. Of all those would be novelists, only about 15% ever attempt it in any serious way, and of that small group only about 2% ever get their novel to a manuscript level. Here's the thing that really sucks though, out of all those manuscripts, 1-2% are published. I fully intend to finish it, and try to get it published. If I can't get anyone to publish it I'll self publish, and move onto the next story. Its an act of absurd defiance in a lot of ways, and I feel a deep compulsion to keep picking away at it, though I'm not all that sure why.

*reminds me of this classic* Harry Potter should have carried a 1911. Here's why: Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol' American hot lead. Basilisk? Let's see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren't looking at it--you're looking at a picture of it. Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12. And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it's because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal. Now I know what you're going to say: "But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!" Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger? Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova. Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don't think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort's wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry's would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let's see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound. I can see it now...Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can't be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series: "Well then I guess it's a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1." And that is why Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.

The S&P dropped 40% during the 1973 energy crisis caused by middle eastern conflict at the time (Yom Kippur war). The energy disruption from have the Strait of Hormuz is on pace to be far worse than the embargo of 1973. Then you have to factor in: - AI bubble that rivals the peak of the Dot Com bubble - Record high consumer debt - Already high inflation caused by unprecedented tariffs and trade wars. So I think a reasonable base case is a 30-40% decline from current levels. Bear case is that this is like the 2000 bubble crash combined with the 1973-74 crash. Ultra-bear case is some form of World War III

Agency Responses to Rescheduling It is expected that moving marijuana to Schedule III will be the first logical step in the process which allows for more thoughtful review of cannabis policies broadly at the federal, state and local levels. Given the unique regulatory structure that has developed in the majority of states where a framework for licensed and regulated cannabis production, including limited distribution channels, testing standards with accredited labs, advertising and labeling requirements, and child-proof packaging: 1. The Food and Drug Administration should explicitly take a deferential approach to regulations of cannabis products, while continuing its analysis of cannabis in a post-rescheduling market; 2. The Drug Enforcement Agency should explicitly issue guidance that practitioner participation in state-regulated medical markets as practitioners who are authorized by the state to recommend or refer patients to their state’s medical marijuana program shall not have any adverse impact on such practitioner’s eligibility for otherwise prescribing controlled substances; 3. The Securities and Exchange Commission should issue guidance that U.S.-based exchanges can list and transact with U.S.-registered companies in the state-licensed cannabis industry (notably Jushi and most other publicly traded operators are already registered with the SEC, but exchange rules prohibit their listing on those exchanges due to an unrealized fear of federal intervention); and 4. The Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) should issue revised guidance that monies flowing to, from or through state-licensed cannabis companies or their affiliates is not, itself, violative of Anti-Money Laundering Laws, the Bank Secrecy Act, or related laws and regulations, and clear the way for federally chartered banking institutions and payment processors to bank and transact with good corporate actors like Jushi and the hundreds of thousands of industry employees.

Why are we slingshotting the moon? Any engineers in the audience? I thought we did this a while ago. Artemis III and beyond, sure. Is this a test drive?

He basically called this WW III. Spy back to 632 tomorrow

Artemis III will be heading to Ur Anus to retrieve weapons grade uranium

I follow the most recent SPAC associated with Irwin Simon, called GP-ACT III Acquisition. They just sent out a tender offer to buy back shares and had >1M volume on typical 50k. Probably unrelated. Just interesting to see some action on this SPAC on the same day of Tilray's earnings.

Again, you are spreading false information. Tilray would benefit from rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III primarily by eliminating the punitive effects of IRC Section 280E, which currently prohibits deducting ordinary business expenses such as rent, salaries, and marketing and results in dramatically higher effective tax rates, allowing full deductions, improved cash flow, and greater profitability, while also easing banking restrictions for better access to loans and capital, facilitating expanded medical cannabis research and clinical trials with reduced federal barriers, enabling strategic U.S. market entry through initiatives like Tilray Medical USA for pharmaceutical-grade products and partnerships, and boosting overall regulatory clarity, institutional investment interest, and stock valuation without achieving full federal legalization. Rescheduling is most likely to happen this year if not yet, 3 years isn't even a possibility.

If true, this might be the prelude to World War III. Some smaller Asian countries will run out of fuel soon. The larger countries will run out of fuel in a few months. The question of fertilizers are on the table as well for all countries, who source their fertilizers from the Middle East. Asia, Africa, and some European nations will be dragged into the Middle East to secure their fuel supplies. As a result, the U.S.A. and its allies will return to the Strait of Hormuz to finish the job if the Strait is not opened for all traffic. The main problem is mobilizing manpower, resources, weapons, planes, and ships quickly to turn Iran upside down, which is an endeavor no one has tried since World War II.

Jushi registered to lobby federally on 8/5/2025. They spent $30k their first quarter and $50k the next quarter. They are using Troutman Strategies. A couple months prior to their registration, Troutman added Evans Poston to their team to strengthen their presence in Virginia. He was the chairman of the current Virginia governor's inauguration committee. Topics Jushi has lobbied for: * Issues related to cannabis industry engagement with Congress and the administration to positively shape regulatory and legislative cannabis policy * Issues related to closing the 2018 Farm Bill hemp loophole * H.R. 4121 - Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act * 2026 S. 2256 -Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 * The rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. In their 2025 Q3 lobbying disclosure they only lobbied the [House and the Senate in the areas of budget and agriculture.](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/407e9b1c-024e-44a9-aa66-5efc2f63036e/print/) In their 2025 Q4 lobbying disclosure they also lobbied the [White House Office, and in the areas of law enforcement and criminal justice](https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/ae03e590-77bd-4610-8cb2-4fd884bc708c/print/) related to rescheduling.

On October 6, 2022, President Joe Biden requested an administrative review to fast-track the reclassification of cannabis from Schedule I to a lower schedule. On August 30, 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) sent the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) a 252-page recommendation to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). On April 30, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced its intent to begin the formal rulemaking process to reclassify cannabis as a Schedule III drug. On August 11, 2025, President Trump told reporters that his administration was "looking at that very strongly" with regard to the reclassification of marijuana. He added that a determination would likely be made within a few weeks. On December 18, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. Attorney General to "expedite" the rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. On this date, you can fill in the blank.

With the market being Chaotic Neutral lately, I have rekindled my childhood by getting into old ass early/mid 90s computers. Windows 95/98 and even some 3.1 on some old Pentium up through Pentium III. Simpler times with OSes that have like a 150megabyte footprint. Fun playing old games on authentic hardware.

If u don't invest in military contractors you have only yourself to blame for poor returns thr next 3 years. 🥭 has given you an opportunity, it's up to you to take it. Up until today I was a dummy buying bag7, now i realize my mistake. Under the 🥭 admin you gotta take advantage of the instability and orders. Tons of money is going to flow to defense contractors, whether or not ww III happens. If it happens, well just consider it a bonus gift LOL

this is the part people keep missing. Blackstone's CEO just personally dropped $75M into their own real estate fund like a week ago. if he thought the ship was going down he wouldnt be loading up with his own money. also Deutsche Bank's 20-F from this month shows strong profit growth and they hiked dividends 50%. they also just raised $1B in senior notes in February. if counterparties thought DB was the next Lehman they wouldnt be lending to them at those terms. OP's thesis is solid on the structural similarities but the leverage ratios and capital requirements are genuinely different post Basel III. the risk is real but its not the same systemic "everyone is connected to everyone" web that blew up in 08

While the use of nuclear weapons is unlikely, if they are used, it could lead to World War III.

In a letter sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator Terry Cole on Friday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) asked for a status update on the pending proposal to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). And he’s also asking the officials to account for why [DOJ missed a deadline to issue guidelines easing research barriers into Schedule I drugs](https://www.marijuanamoment.net/attorney-general-misses-deadline-for-rules-to-make-it-easier-to-study-schedule-i-drugs-like-marijuana-and-psychedelics/)—which currently includes cannabis, as well as various psychedelics.

Good news is, if this guy ever does start world war III he'll keep delaying it every 10 days so we might be alright for a little

Did you also bet against Rocky when he fought Mr T in Rocky III?

there is no reason to when actual land invasion to Tehran is off the table, when we start deploying III Armored Corps and V Corps, they might change their tone.... or not if they want to kill Americans more than they want to live

What did DJ Gump say when he was asked what he did when he realized the war he was fighting was in the northern hemisphere, controlled world oil shipping, and was twice the size of Florida, so continuing a war would lead to a global recession?  "III rannn!"

* Mango previous has "negotiated" with Iran, only to start the bombing abruptly. This has happened twice. * Mango is now saying there is a negotiation while moving troops into the region. Ground troops. * The likely leader of Iran had his father, wife, and a child killed by the US and Israel. Friday, post market, get ready for Desert Storm Part III.
