We know what the swamp rats think of truckers when they get too uppity.
“$7.50 a gallon for diesel”
That tipping point is here in the next week or so in my area.
During the Carter years, I had a summer job with a rent car company. My job was to sit in gas lines all day to gas up our cars prior to renting. To get around odd/even rules, I would swap out license plates.
Jimmy Carter was over his head. Obama is doing this to us on purpose. He has biden to stand in front of the cameras to take the blame.
Except its not O’LieDumb. Its the fools behind the curtain pulling the levers. O’LieDumb is just the one taking the blame.
Our neighborhood gas station has been holding on 4.99 9/10 all week. Its like they know 5.00 is a bridge too far.
Six peaches for $8.00 Publix Supermarket, Tampa, Florida, one week ago. How high is too high?
Like to add that rumors are the Biden regime is planning to try and either postpone or greatly hinder to mail in ballots only the Mid-Term elections as some emergency will crop up and some are speculating they will declare a Global Warming National emergency as it seems the White House is planning for such an event. The ruse will be be we must shut down everything till Science can come up with a plan to control it....
What happened this week is that Target announced that prices for their general crap—knicknacks and less essential things—will be going DOWN, markdowns, as they have too much inventory as people are focusing on food and gas only, the essentials.
So maybe that’s where we’ll be in the coming months. Buying only essentials.
Lumber prices are dropping fast. That means demand is gone.
People SHOULD quit buying CRAP...the junk that hits yard sales within a few months.
I drove for Werner for a number of years. Im hearing lots of fuel shortages out there. The northeast may dry up. When that happens, watch out!
I know; maybe it’s good in a way that we are all spending less on crap. I own 10 colorful flyswatters, for example. Why? They came in a package from Amazon that way and they were pretty cheap (at the time). But no one needs 10 flyswatters. . .
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. Revelation 9:3
The cities? Not so much.
In January, with a large enough Red Wave, Biden and Kamala can be impeached, leaving the new Speaker of the House as President.
Now, I believe in the Red Wave like I believe in unicorns, but maybe it can happen.
Customers are still paying the increased freight rates. There have been some loads that are not being shipped (produce) because the cost of shipping is higher than the value of the load. You can probably expect there won’t be the fresh fruit available during off season now.
As far as fertilizer, we’re hauling it as fast as they use it. Some farmers around here are planning to fill up for next year. Spot price for Soybean @ Cargill Sidney, OH $18.00/BU so they can afford the costs.
Obama, Jarrett, Rice, Soros, Schwab...
As my granny and mom always told me—root hog or die. We’re there.
My husband and I stocked up on cat food since our cats need a specific type for their health, and we went to a meat packing plant and bought hundreds of pounds of meat and then bought a couple hundred pounds of rice and beans. We live on the ocean and we both fish. We figured we can live off what we have and what we are growing in our garden for a while.
I get that this is very anecdotal from someone that none of you can verify, but, again, his advice... if you need it, get it now. No one is coming to help us.
Not only is it not going to go away, it’s going to get incrementally much worse. Diesel #2 here, is now $8.19/gal, up from $7.99/gal last week. Trucks will just stop running, soon enough.
