Went with the apple card and tried to set up the high yield savings account.
Getting a new credit card was simplicity itself. Maybe 5 minutes after I released the credit freeze that's otherwise always on and a shiny new cc was in the Apple wallet. (where it will remain, unused, forever)
The savings account? Bloody hell. Linking a credit union savings account to the vampire squids at Goldman Sachs (they operate this under the hood) has been a nightmare. Never had such a difficult time trying to give a bank money.
About 10 more minutes on the no-help line before I go with the VMFXXX money market, which was probably the better option anyway.
Many thanks to the peanut gallery for comments.

If they pan out right, you’re going to have to pay to have crude oil hauled away. The only thing oil will be used for is chemical synthesis and asphalt.
An added benefit is once fusion gets going, it makes fresh water production dirt cheap. Toss a pipe in the Pacific and you’ll be filling up Lake Mead in no time.

Blue Horseshoe says that a certain large company wasn’t joking about fusion power that would fit in a trailer. There’s also been power storage breakthroughs in iron pellet matrix batteries.

Any thoughts on near term Uranium plays as fission comes back online to bridge the green energy gap?

Oil traders are thinking they can defy the Saudi Prince who overseas OPEC+. The Oil financial Market is completely and utterly disconnected from the physical market and OPEC knows it. Then there is the whole recession is coming sentiment. They'll just let the short traders and speculators do their little rebellion until they find peace with the inevitable. As most of my oil holdings are in dividend paying oil producers, I'll gladly wait it out alongside OPEC.
