Florida has more decrepit old farts that prefer the heat.  

 

(Hi, mom!)

not true

the old farts feel compelled to set their A/C at 72 to simulate the Northern climate when its 95 outside

You're clearly not my mom.  

 

For which me, my mom, and I'm certain you are all very, very, very thankful.

The really funny part of this is that, right about the same time that Putin was spreading this load of crap, enough grain from Ukraine was being offloaded in Ethiopia to feed millions in the poorest countries.

 

The other part that is amusing, to me at least, is why Ukraine would need to ship grain via the sea to the EU... which it has massive land borders with.

Wouldn't need to, but shipping is by far the most efficient way to move bulk goods in quantity, even more than rail.

We may see soon enough. Can’t ship goods inland, and diesel fuel is still strangling trucking. 
 

Friday is the expiration date for a “cooling off” period for the freight railroad union and the rail lines before the employees can strike.  Maybe our self-described most pro-unionist-ever President can talk the unions into extending negotiations.  If not, and a strike lingers, stock up now.

Fortunately, he has Buttigieg in charge of this. He once took a train, and he used to eat Good-n-Plenty as a kid, so he knows a thing or two about choo-choos.

I'm sure that they will handle this just as well as they did the port issue earlier this year.

Probably with another anti-inflation package that promotes electric vehicles, forgives student loans, gives more aid to Ukraine, and in general makes inflation worse and blames everyone else for it.

 

It amazes me how this administration positively revels in not knowing jack shit about economics of fiscal policy.  Say what you will about previous administrations, but at the very least they pretended they knew.

It's not that they don't know it's bad policy.  They just don't care because they're raiding the treasury before the coming collapse

No, knowing.  They've never cared, but always gave lip service, at least, to recognizable economic principles.

 

These idiots also don't care, but additionally wallow in their ignorance.

At this point it seems like they're just getting off on making obviously nonsensical claims and watching their followers lap it up.

Do they know something that they aren’t telling us?  As you will see below, Walmart, Target and other major U.S. retailers are literally canceling billions of dollars in orders ahead of the coming holiday season.  I have never heard of such a thing happening before, and under normal conditions it wouldn’t make any sense at all.  The holiday season is typically the busiest time of the year for retailers, and at this time in 2021 there was actually a great deal of concern that there wouldn’t be enough inventory due to global supply chain problems.  But now everything has changed.  All of a sudden major retailers are feverishly canceling orders, and this would only make sense if a severe economic downturn was imminent.

 

For example, Walmart is admitting that it has canceled “billions of dollars in orders” as we approach the upcoming holiday season…

 

Meanwhile, we just learned that Target has also canceled “more than $1.5 billion” in orders…

 

And it turns out that Kohl’s and Under Armour have also been canceling large numbers of orders as well…

 

I really like how Brandon Smith recently summarized the current state of the U.S. economy…

A common refrain from people who are critical of alternative economists is that we have been predicting crisis for so long that “eventually we will be right.” These are generally people who don’t understand the nature of economic decline – It’s like an avalanche that builds over time, then breaks and quickly escalates as it flows down the mountain. What they don’t grasp is that they are in the middle of an economic collapse RIGHT NOW, and they just can’t see it because they have been acclimated to the presence of the snow and cold.

 

Economic decline is a process that takes many years, and while you might get an event like the market crash of 1929 or the crash of 2008, these moments of panic are nothing more than the wreckage left behind by the great wave of tumbling ice that everyone should have seen coming far in advance, but they refused.

Biggest rail strike in decades halts most trains in Britain

Quote

Workers are taking part in the biggest rail strike in Britain for decades, with unions combining industrial action for the first time this year.

 

No trains are running in many areas, with no direct services at all on some intercity routes between London to Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh.

 

With drivers as well as signallers on strike, only about 11% of normal schedules are in operation. Disruption is significantly worse than during other rail strikes this year, as members of the RMT, Aslef and TSSA unions are on a 24-hour strike – timed to coincide with the start of the Conservative conference in Birmingham. ...
