    2020 wasn’t that bad at all. It’s barely a blip on the radar compared to 2008. Depending on what you were doing there wasn’t even really a slowdown at the start of Covid restrictions.

    It's hard not to. Every time diesel goes up a nickel, you spawn fifteen threads about how the world is ending, LOL.
