Relief rally as it shows normal behavior and with good jobs + rising inflation = the rise was a “no brainer” according to one former Fed Sr. economist. There’s alternative views, such as inflation being caused by wars 100% that the Fed has no control of from Goldman (aka the more general view the Fed can’t pump more oil), .. but the KC Fed governor said he’s seeing more than oil inflation in his neck of the woods (central US).

I can comment on one point: KC wheat is up because of rainfall and the Russia-Ukraine war. Not because of diesel and for sure not because of fertilizer. But it's the last two years of rainfall that mattered, non-El Nino rainfall. Next year's crop is the first affected by this El Nino.

GreatPlainsFarmer

>Wheat is not going anywhere close to $10 in the next 4-6 years I wouldn't take that bet, even with Elon's money. I'd say 90% probability that front month MPLS or KC wheat trades to $9.49 sometime within the next 5 years. Within the next 5 months is an entirely different question.

There are three burger kings within a 50-mile radius of me and all three are extremely slow service. That's because they make to order because they don't do enough business to keep anything up outside of a rush. I don't want a whopper bad enough to wait 20-minutes when I can go through taco bell drive thru, grab two burritos and be gone in less than 5-minutes. IDK how BK is trailing close behind McDonalds because I just don't understand how they would have enough business. Even when I lived in STL, every BK I saw had long wait times and wasn't clean. Kansas City is about the same. The only BK I've been in that was clean AND had fast service was in KC near the plaza.

It honestly makes a lot of sense. The A330 has quite a few systems that are better for tanker duty than the 767, is a much newer base aircraft (especially for the MRTT+, if those end up being involved) In general, the MRTT has almost 30% longer range and loiter time than the KC46 and almost a 50% higher payload weight capacity. The A300/310/330 airframes in general have this really nifty design in that they have “floating” weight zones for weight and balance, and a stupidly overbuilt landing gear design and wing box. It means that as long as you load within your lateral and longitudinal balance limits, you can load up to 100% of the aircraft’s structural weight limit in the cargo positions above the wing box and landing gear. FWIW; work on A300s and have loadmaster certification for A300s, A310s, A330s, and 757s and 767s. The Busses are honestly super awesome.

> Stop reading whatever pro-Iranian/anti-US propaganda and get back to reality. US Military powerless????????? I am, in fact, reading reality and reality says Iran's doing above and beyond facing off at least three carrier strike groups and at least one (were there two?) expeditionary strike group, among other things. >US Navy literally deleted Iran's Navy with AIR POWER, while US Air Force had air supremacy and were refuelling aircraft in Iranian airspace. Yeah, and with that air supremacy we've lost an E-3 Sentry *on the fucking tarmac*, too many KC-135 Stratotankers to count, and at least one F-15E Strike Eagle and A-10C Thunderbolt. Not sure if we should count the two F-15s we lost to friendly fire. [CENTCOM is still denying ever losing that F-15E, by the way.](https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2039805134704660622) Fucking propagandist liars. >The only reason why US have not achieved their objectives is due to politics, not because the military is weak. No, it's because the military is uselessly weak. We have **way more assets on site than should ever be necessary** to presumably "win" this war (read: act of terror) overnight and we've gotten our asses handed left, right, and center. This "war" was supposed to be over in 2 or 3 weeks; it's not well over 3 months and those three carrier strike groups can't even approach the Strait without risking getting sunk and the two Arleigh Burkes that were sent in as lambs for the slaughter have done precisely jack shit. You should get off the US military koolaid, it ain't good for ya.

Other aviation news: - Stratotankers from all over the world are flying to the Middle East (Maine, Scotland, England etc.) - A Boeing Poseidon P-8, a maritime warfare ship, is on its way to Iran from Iceland, so expect action on Kharg or Qeshm island - Some Omani royals left Mascat 5 minutes ago, indicating shit is about to go down near town - Also several Lockheed Martin KC-130s are en route. They are used by the navy for either aerial refilling or transport and are destined to take of or land on unprepared runways

So apparently the US is using KC-46 tankers that are departing from tel Aviv right now although they come with massive liabilities and problems like fractured hulls. I reckon they only use them in this environment because it’s urgent as fuck

patricktu1258

I think it’s not about the living life. KC-135 crashed itself so it’s not like iran can utilize it as a leverage.

I find it funny Mango says, "I completely rebuilt the military in my first term" when the Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker is based on the prototype of a Boeing 707 that first flew in 1954. Then, he cancelled the contract for the replacement, the KC-46A Pegasus. Make it make sense.

# Iran’s Attacks Force U.S. Troops to Work Remotely The story Fox News will never report, posting the whole story because NYT has a paywall. / Iran has bombed U.S. bases across the Middle East in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war, forcing many American troops to relocate to hotels and office spaces throughout the region, according to military personnel and American officials. So now much of the land-based military is, in essence, fighting the war while working remotely, with the exception of fighter pilots and crews operating and maintaining warplanes and conducting strikes. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has urged people to report these new locations as it hunts for the dispersed troops. U.S. military officials say that threat is not stopping the Pentagon from carrying out the war against Iran, which is in its fourth week. “To date, we’ve struck over 7,000 targets across Iran and its military infrastructure,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared last week. He then repeated what has become a common refrain at his news briefings: “Today will be the largest strike package yet, just like yesterday. But the relocation of troops to makeshift — one official called them “alternative” — sites raises questions about the Trump administration’s preparations for the war. There were close to 40,000 U.S. troops in the region when the war started, and Central Command has dispersed thousands of them, some to as far away as Europe, American military officials said. But many have remained in the Middle East, although not on their original bases, military officials said. The result, according to current and former military officials, is a war that is much harder to prosecute. “Yes, we have the ability to set up expedient operation centers, but you’re absolutely going to lose capability,” said Master Sgt. Wes J. Bryant, a retired Special Operations targeting specialist in the U.S. Air Force. “You can’t just put all that equipment on the top of a hotel, for example. Some of it is unwieldy.” A U.S. military official said that troops are not working from the roofs of civilian hotels. Iran responded forcefully to the joint American and Israeli strikes, targeting not only U.S. bases but also embassies and oil and gas infrastructure throughout the region. With its supreme leader and dozens of other leaders killed, the Iranian regime has retaliated by launching hundreds of drones and missiles into neighboring countries and largely shuttered the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route, making sure the war would be felt by people across the globe.[](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/movies/a-little-prayer-splitsville-streaming.html) Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage. Six U.S. service members were killed in a strike on Port Shuaiba that destroyed an Army tactical operations center. Iranian drones and missiles also targeted Ali Al Salem Air Base, damaging aircraft structures and injuring personnel, and Camp Buehring, damaging maintenance and fuel facilities. In Qatar, Iran struck Al Udeid Air Base, the regional air headquarters of U.S. Central Command, damaging an early-warning radar system. In Bahrain, a one-way Iranian attack drone struck communications equipment at the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet. At Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, Iranian missiles and drones damaged communications equipment and several refueling tankers. An Iranian-backed militia in Iraq launched a drone swarm attack on an upscale hotel in Erbil early in the war. Iranian officials have even accused the U.S. military of using civilians as human shields by putting American troops in hotels. “We are forced to identify and target the Americans,” the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said in a message to people in the region, according to Tasnim News Agency. “Therefore, it is better not to shelter them in hotels and to stay away from their locations.” The message added that “it is your Islamic duty to accurately report the hiding places of American terrorists and send the information to us on Telegram,” a social media app. Despite a punishing air campaign, the Iranians “still retain some capability,” Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged in the Pentagon news conference last week. General Caine said that “layered defenses throughout the region” were allowing the United States to protect troops and interests but that the Pentagon was trying to bolster defenses in the region. Part of the problem for the Pentagon is that two decades of war in Iraq and Afghanistan — war zones where the United States quickly established air superiority — left the military with facilities and headquarters close to the current front lines. While Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, for example, were often targeted in suicide bombings and other attacks, neither the Taliban nor Iraqi militias possessed the kind of ballistic missile capability that Iran has. During the war in Iraq in particular, the United States built up its bases there and in Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Now, the war in Iran has made all of those bases vulnerable — to the point where service members can’t really live or work there for extended periods, military officials said. The lack of better planning, some military officials said, also reflects a miscalculation on the part of the administration about how Iran would respond. The Trump administration did not reduce staffing at American embassies and other facilities in the region before the war started, or order departures for nonessential government employees and family members. Nor did the State Department warn Americans to steer clear of the region until after the war began. Two former U.S. officials briefed on military operations said there were no reinforced roofs on command centers at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, where one service member was killed and several others were wounded in an attack. Military officials say that American refueling tankers were rushed to the war with little time to orient or practice in the region before getting thrown into the round-the-clock operations. Two American KC-135 tankers collided this month, leading to deaths of six service members. A Central Command spokesman said that incident is under investigation. Sergeant Bryant, the former Air Force special operator, pointed out that one area that the U.S. military excels at is what he called “decentralized execution,” or the ability to continue to do its job even from far afield “You could cut off the head of the snake and down to the last individual soldier, we’re still going to be operating,” he said. But, he added, “you still lose something.” [Helene Cooper](https://www.nytimes.com/by/helene-cooper) is a Pentagon correspondent for The Times.

I'm surprised you didn't claim the KC-135 that crashed as well. No one other than Iran is saying an F-35 was shot down. One may have been hit, but there would be propaganda video all over the place of the debris if they did. Also, those MQ-9 drones are designed to be attritable and conduct the most high risk missions because they don't have a pilot and they're (relatively) low cost... and the highest number I've seen is more than an order of magnitude lower than yours at 10 total lost.

Pros: KC has amazing BBQ, STL does as well but I prefer Joe’s BBQ in KC STL has Forest Park. It’s where they had the world’s fair in 1904, I think the date is right. Forest park has the Zoo, Art Museum, history museum and a big ass fountain with tons of space to enjoy the day. Best thing. Free of charge. Admission to all the above is free to the public. Certain special things do charge but general admission is free STL and KC both are relatively cheaper to live, compared to most of the country. It’s also slower in my general opinion. Slower in terms of no one is really in rush. People rush to work and stuff like that but from my experiences people stopped to talk to strangers more than the PNW where I’m at now. STL also has the Arch so if you wanna go up 630 feet in the air and look down, it’s cool. Tbh there is a lot of unique history in both cities as well. I’m really big with history so could go on for a bit on some of the historical stuff that happened in both cities.
