    I have a good report! I was able to arrange a black market covert haircut by a professional hair stylist.

    Fortunately, the deed was not spotted by Chinese manufactured drones, or else our esteemed governor would of dispatched a swat team to end the extremely dangerous transaction and hauled both of us to jail!

    I tried to get a job as a gynecologist, but I couldn't find any openings.

    I stayed calm while the cutting was in process though! The stylist wore this tee shirt and it helped me stay focused!

    You should be fine. That doesn’t break any rules I know of.

    Note how they dont ever really connect any of the dots either? Like how the freight rates on suezmax crude tankers is at record highs, up 10x of normal during a huge global economic slowdown when our oil fields are parkin it?

    Yeah russia and the saudis are in a "price war." Okay. They are partners in a market flood designed to hurt their enemies.

    Canada regulates maple syrup like opec+ regulates oil. When its oversupplied they buy it up and keep the price high and stable, only releasing what is demanded. Canada never wrecks their prices by increasing supply during a NH/VT bumper crop. You telling me canada can figure something out but russia cant? Plz.

    I agree. I tried to run last week and ended up running 2500 miles for $2900. F that. I'm not going to put all those miles on my equipment for those kinds of rates. Then when the rates recover, you'll be in the shop during major repairs or putting tires on while everybody else is gobbling up the great rates. Carriers set the rates, and they're low right now because they're getting moved at the low rates.

    In short, it is difficult to avoid being duped.
