Wholesale gasoline is selling for about 40 cents a gallon less than ethanol right now. Trump should issue an exec order lifting the mandate on ethanol percentages in gasoline blends.

“At this point my guess is that the school year is over for this year.”

Almost certainly, unless this virus magically goes away. The only reason schools and governments are not shutting down that long is the very slight chance that things could improve in the next couple of months.

Just returned from Kroger with my wife. We were able to buy most everything we needed. But there is ZERO TP, ZERO hand sanitizer and soap. And the only eggs remaining are the $6 a dozen “organically raised” kind. My wife said she’d rather go hungry than pay $6 for a dozen eggs.

I was on the fence. I like eggs. But, I have no idea what they’re supposed to cost?

These are the times when the mask comes off—the great people keep calm and help others, and the jerks prove they are jerks.

“BREAKING: Canada will close the border to foreigners, Prime Minister Trudeau says”

Do they consider 3rd World migrants to be ‘foreigners’ there?

Just had a very good tele-conference with Nations’s Governors. Went very well. Cuomo of New York has to “do more”.

I agree. A lot of the flubros are reacting with panic because they think the coronavirus is going to take Trump down. I don’t think that’s the case. Look at what’s going on around the world. What is the first thing that went out of the window when this hit? Globalism. Travel is suspended, EU countries are closing their borders to each other, They’re not sharing medical supplies with each other, the idea of decoupling completely from China is taking hold in this country, etc.

This is the perfect opportunity for Trump to point out that when the SHTF, it quickly became every nation-state for itself. IOW, globalism isn’t the answer, AND EVERYBODY DEEP DOWN KNOWS IT.

This will not be a typical election year where people look at their net worth and vote accordingly. This time it really is different. And, despite the media, dems, deep state, never Trumpers, etc. people are bewildered and perhaps scared. In those times people want strong leadership. They will want the guy who’s been right about this all along.

Kids don’t want to go back.
Parents don’t want their kids to go back.
Teachers don’t want to go back.
Support staff don’t want to go back.
There is no political will to force anyone to go back.

Our world has changed, profoundly, in just a few days.

Ponder that for a moment.

"Not fake, just overblown.

For realz! You'd think they were expecting 5,000,000 people in New York needing the 50,000 mostly full already hospital beds, not 1,300,000 people!

Sheesh.

How are Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson doing? They made a big splash about their infections. How long has it been? A couple of weeks? Are they still alive?

“Big city” - hahaha. Am not in C’Dale but do go there fairly often. W-KY too.

We do plant a small garden - am starting some seeds indoors, but it’ll be a good while before that helps much.

LOTS of hunting in S. IL. (Shhhhh....)

The President has been blessed in many ways—and having senile Biden as an opponent—just can’t get better luck than that!

I heard a stat today (if I remember right) that the average time to die from this after infection is 4 to 6 weeks.
