I very sorry to hear that, Vermont Lt. God bless and keep him.
As far as the flubros go, just based on some discussions with them this morning, these are not sane people, they are not reasonable or rational, and some of them are probably legit dangerous.
I honestly believe they are slit into two groups.
The first is detoxing. Probably went to the legion hall every afternoon.
The second are single minded greedy folk who had way, way too much of their savings in stocks. I used to see this on the bitcoin boards when some fool put the mortgage into BTC.
I guess there are people with an opposing view who are sane, and not selfish. But the common posters are pretty low information and generally ignorant of how the real world works.
In any event, looking at TEUs coming into Long Beach there are few US manufacturers who have much of a supply chain coming out of China. There are still a hundred thousand containers in Shanghai waiting to go INTO China. There isn’t much coming out.
Ahhh, the beauty of Just in Time delivery.
