What to Watch

  1. The May 1st 'TSA Sick-out': Radical will watch for labor solidarity, while Hedonist will track the price of private aviation as travelers attempt to bypass airport chaos.

  3. Indonesian Nickel Markets: Sovereign and Owner will watch for a capital flight of Western firms like Eramet as Jakarta continues to weaponize extraction quotas.
  4. The Mandelson Security Scandal: Radical and Hedonist will track if the Keir Starmer government collapses under the weight of 'Ghost Elite' vetting failures.
