@Brettj3876 my case of the og rona was like a 3 day head cold. Wild how it effects people differently, even those that are generally average health.

Wrecking ####, spending money and being frustrated?

I know that's only 3, but it's all I got.

The results are in. With roughly 3/4 tanks the KW is 28,900 empty. Bit heavier than I expected if I'm honest. Roughly 1000 pounds lighter than my buddies 98 w9 with a cat and a 72 inch studio...

But first day out was a success after the fiasco with changing thermostats.

That was cheap, and enjoyed.

How do you make Annie freeze, take her nighty away.

We very well may see the current trend continue and even become exacerbated this year. I can see the Fed hiking rates 4 maybe 6 times to try to counter inflation. That will lead to a big slowing of construction, less equipment and vehicle purchasing, and money moving out of growth investments for safer haven. Demand for steel, wire, lumber and other building materials will decline.

Next will be massive unemployment in those industries. Normally that would lead to an economic correction, as people would have to tighten their spending to get by. Unfortunately though, congress will probably pass another huge spending bill, cause you just can't have people learning to live within their means, that would be cruel.

So all these newly unemployed will be getting their check, plus a supplemental check, and then probably some bailout checks thrown in cause, well... grandma and the children, or some other such nonsense. That means the demand for food and other commodities will increase, causing even higher inflation at the grocer. Then, after stuffing their faces with taxpayer bought steaks and doritos, they'll get on their brand new phone and spend some more of the taxpayers' money on a bunch of cheap Chinese crap from Amazon.

Which means van rates will continue to climb, while open deck rates will probably drop.

Woah Nelly, you're too far in the future with all that. Go check out #BareShelvesBiden on Twitter, we may not have to worry about interest rates and inflation for awhile if their isn't any food on the shelves. Kind of scary honestly.
