I feel the need every once in a while to remind people what the shut down was all about originally. Slow the spread, remember? Not to overwhelm the hospitals. That’s been done. Some governors are drunk on power. It’s easy to tell who. Remember in November.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

With all the fist ponding and complaining. He never shut down the subways. The probable breeding ground for their epidemic. Plenty of empty hotels and beds available for essential workers to stay in for the month. But noooo take the subway. They probably got infected at work at the hospitals. I doubt it happened on the subway. These are the people we’re supposed to listen to.

At 65 I’ll be able to live on SS. But I don’t have to. When ever lemons came my way I made lemonade. The one thing I could depend on is this in the United States. Greed has nothing to do with it. Providing for my family and my future did. I’m lucky I’ve made my way prepared for my future. The thing that concerns me the most. Is a virus that could change our rights. Not cause me death. And people think it’s okay. That’s not greed, that’s life.

I'm 66 and SS won't crack the nut but it and the nest egg might. That is if...…(read the previous post) Thankfully I navigated the sea of GREED better than many. Luck had absolutely nothing to do with it. Who I can thank is God for a great workshop manual for life and a son willing to die for us. Who I can thank are my parents and grandparents who lived through everything that affected man since 1870's and beat some commons sense into me. Who never whined about how rough it was, how scared they were, how events shaped and changed the landscape of their freedom. 

 

 

Yea, life changed and yet everyone survived. No...thrived. In spite of the greed. Not because of it.

Question Stan.

Is there anything you don't have the RIGHT answer for?

I was getting really to compliment you on our sometimes frustrating sometimes opposite side of these arguments. Then you hit me with the exact sentence I can easily hit you with. You have the benefit of results that happen quickly. Coming from a lifetime of struggling at times with family business. Starting with my grandparents. I have first hand experience of what can happen when outside forces get involved with business. The ripple effects of those events. My earliest the 70s oil blockade. The 08 housing crisis. This virus. The pain and suffering as the result. It takes longer and is just as deadly. Instead of being on a small scale. It’s much bigger. I’ve seen it, live it. I know what’s coming. This will take longer and will be more painful. We’ve been forced into with no choice. It’s un American. In the late 70s we moved and started over. What’s the more than 30 million supposed to do. Your just too damn stubborn as the result are changing. New realizations come forward. You’re stuck on the same narrative. As others are changing. I’m going to agree to disagree. And not answer you on this topic going forward.

New York, New Jersey aside. Some states are holding the brakes longer even as their numbers are dropping. Much to the dismay of their residents. It doesn’t take too much imagination as to what letter is next to their name.

Drunk on power is exactly right. Our governor here will be the last to open things up. My thing is open the states back up and everyone wear a mask inside business until further notice people here in Maryland have had enough of this lock down crap and it shows out on the roads as when lock down first started hardly seen anyone on the roads now traffic is almost back to normal and WERE STILL IN A FRIGGIN LOCK DOWN. I have had enough of this bull$hit lock down. You damn right I will remember in November but our governor is on his last term so he doesn't give a $hit.

The restaurant I went to last night was a main course with a side of hand sanitizer. It was everywhere. Little marked spots on the floor where to stand. They had mask and gloves. They get it.

My personal opinion, no one knows the true numbers, they got caught lumping other causes of death and labeling it as Covid related.   This is such a joke how they are making money off this unprecedented misfortune. The governor and the mayor of NYC, well yeah. It’s just a dik waving contest, anything u do i can Do better.   These two are BS

Yup, that governor in Maine is a whack job like ours here in Michigan. Our governor allowed Landscapers to go back to work over a week ago, but not letting guys like myself to go back till the 7th. I'm a concrete contractor doing basically the same kind of things a Landscaper does. I'm done waiting and we will start tomorrow.

I'm not clear on how having more covid deaths makes money. Could you please elaborate?

The cdc website updated the deaths in Michigan and now there less then half what they were. We will eventually see the real numbers and see that this is political for these Democrat governors.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      Gas Prices

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.

      Gas Prices

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....
