Supply is getting better

[Steppenwolfe]

Nah. That works 99% of the time, but not this time.

You know what they say about opinions....

"IF" this has "anything" to do with money .. it is just this:

There is always someone willing to sell their soul, disregard logic/decency/patriotism and betray their nation for CASH.

Frankly, when it comes to "wokeism", I doubt dollars matter - because the cult itself outweighs all concerns beyond its own survival and power.

Yep... I was thinking the exact same thing.

Problem with that statement is, money generally=survival and power.

The "brown shirts" were not in it for the money. We are now seeing Version 2.0.

I have experienced a lot of delays lately with my online orders. I have 2 items right now that are delayed or lost- they don't know which.

I did not know that the craziness in L.A. is affecting our supply chain nationally.

Union Pacific in LA county is having 90 cargo containers/day looted. The catch and release policy is making UP consider pulling our of LA county all together

 

[KiotiKowboy]

From the scenes, it looks like a mob - took hours - to go through the train, rip open boxes and haul away their plunder.

Where the Hxll was security?
Why were there apparently no arrests?
What ever happened to shooting looters?

Our country has lost its mind. Very sad to see our demise in real time.

 

[jezreel]

Let Ernest Borgnine, The Emperor Of The North Pole, loose on the looters, and we will have no more looting of trains.

Yep... saw that last January.

What is truly disgusting, is you and I pay for this damage.

 

[Fixastuff]

Pretty sure those UPS guys get a decent salary and benefits

 

[Hay Dude]

Hey, look at the bright side…..
Hollywood can start making “Great Train Robbery” movies again!

Yes - you did ... they were embedded in the crowds of rightfully enraged citizens.

Some economists would say yes. But I find it interesting that inflation is happening worldwide following Covid. Could it be something more than US domestic policy? Many people can’t look at the situation beyond their own country, and jump to conclusions.

Well, many of the inflationary policies in the US are also being used in other places. Also, as the world's largest economy, US inflation will drive world inflation.

Inflation has been pretty well studied and economists told politicians that they were going to push up inflation. As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, the money supply is the big thing. Government spending dumps dollars on the market.

Since the 1930s, people have been pushing the problem ahead to future generations. That idiocy works if the population is growing rapidly. People are starting later with having kids and many are opting out of kids altogether. In order to keep populations flat, women need to average 2.3 kids each. (replacement for both parents, plus making up for those who are sterile or who die before reaching adulthood). Current fertility rates are about 1.75-1.80. This has been a long time coming, but future people don't vote so it has been ignored for about 50 years.

Even more disgusting, it’s preventable, so nobody would have to pay for it.

How "rightfully enraged" do you gotta be beat on police with a flag pole and chant about hanging someone? It sucks we lost but none of that was justified.
