Pumping mass amounts of "free" money into the economy while at the same time driving up wages with no ties to the market is great for reducing inflation. I'm sure it is, the news told me.
Lumber has really gone up and valuable. Remember to secure it so it doesn't get stolen. This is what I use to hold it down to make it hard to carry off. Cheaper than the pallets.
Historically when inflation got bad they strip out certain things in the numbers and cover it up. Inflation - housing, Inflation - food, Inflation - construction materials (next), Inflation - fuel, Inflation - vehicle prices (next).
Didn't read the story but the headline was (possibly click baity) that the governor would seize the profits if pipeline stayed open after being ordered to close.
Colonial has shit at every refinery (them and enterprise) where they entire their network of pipelines. They had one across the road...
At one time they were used a lot in production type stuff. Same thing all day every day. Maybe 25-30 years ago you could pick them up dirt cheap when everyone started dumping them.
Not magnets.

Thirty-five years after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine exploded in the world’s worst nuclear accident, fission reactions are smoldering again in uranium fuel masses buried deep...
It used to be hair dryers and curling irons in the sink in the bathrub before GFCI circuits. Humans will find a way to do dumb stuff. Before that it was smoking in bed and falling asleep.
What I got into the industry doing doesn't require anything, not even a high school diploma in the US. 100% on the job training. Requires a college degree or trade school in Canada and there's two that offer it.
Some time back some girl died sitting in the tub talking on the phone that was plugged into the charger. She pulled the charger in. There's always a way, someone will find it.
Can goods at stores getting in short supply. Aluminum getting hard to get. Thinking graphics cards are about to be the least of the problem. Just in time logistics worked great, till it didn't. Chlorine for pools is real short. Chemicals feed the few things we actually still make in the US. They...
Exxon refinery in Baytown, TX is currently locking out the steelworkers union. Don't see strikes and lockouts near as much as you used to unfortunately.
Can buy peloton on the dip, recalled all treadmills.
Hurricanes traditionally lower timber prices and increase building material prices. Two hurricanes last year on the gulf coast. All the down trees get hauled to the mill eventually cheaper than standing timber. Of course there's a 1,000 other...
Some stirrings now that Biden invoke the defense act to shift critical silicon chips to the auto industry since they're shutting down. Politicians involved in tech, what could go wrong?
Somebody has to move build whatever building they put them in. Some of the videos are some pretty big buildings. Plus the country funding coal plant after coal plant. Cheap way to import hard cash when they do the big bulk sales every so often.
Then they turn around...
Countries that subsidize the "free" energy through socialism/communism and put near slave wage people to work in these crypto farms that have massive amounts of mining rigs and sell off every so often, are doing so to bring real currency into the country. That's my conspiracy theory for the day.
Guessing those large miners with hundreds of multi card computers running round the clock with government subsidized electricity have a few Nvidia people on the payroll at times. It being hobbled via software is going to nothing.
I type with my left hand while drawing in cad and entering text and use the num pad...wait for it - numbers. Also some of our software has a shitload of menus to navigate through one question at a time. 99% of the time it's just hit enter to leave at default while drawing and I can use my right...
