8.2 million job openings with 6.1% unemployment.
Real inflation is probably north of 10%.
Gas shortages
Record deficits
Yeah, Biden is delivering exactly what we expected.
All of this coming on the heels of our economy being 98% of the way back to where it was at the end of 2019 before COVID.
3.50 is the price that we start to see a real dampening affect on the economy. We'll probably reach that sometime next month, and I don't think it'll come down for a while.
America has the chance to lead clean energy change in a WIN WIN situation. So you're correct.
Pretty interesting to watch the markets today after the CPI numbers were released. 4.3% YoY would typically trigger the FED to take action, but apparently Powell is OK with just letting this ride. Even investors are getting nervous about the easy money policies, lol.
Florida gets over 70% of their gas from ports not this pipeline..people have a doomsday hoarding fetish .

They pump product at something like 5 mph, so it'll take a couple of weeks at least to refill commercial tanks.
Exactly. This is another issue of people freaking out because broadcast and social media said there would be a shortage and so they ran on supply and created a shortage.
Interesting...what ports are you referring to? Interested in hearing your knowledge on ports and waterways supporting petroleum transfers in FL.
Demand surge similar to the toilet paper surge a year ago. Idiots hoarding in response to a situation and simply exacerbating it. It will be back to normal in a week or so.
I agree..about a week or two. Although we do get fuel (not sure if its 70%, probably a BS number) via tankers, we will be trucking a lot of fuel out of state which will reduce the supply in state. Regardless, we will feel the impacts for a while.

WESH in Orlando is saying it’s 90% of Florida’s fuel.
Experts: Florida gas supply not impacted by pipeline hack, fuel comes into ports on ships
WESH 2 News spoke with experts, who said they have an important message for Florida drivers: "There is plenty of gasoline."

And here’s a West Palm station listing the ports: Tampa, Jacksonville, Port Everglades, and Port Canaveral.

Here's how gasoline gets to Florida drivers.

Since you came out so strongly, why don’t you let us know why you are an angry elf?
PPI report shows 6.2% wholesale inflation. This isn't going away anytime soon and the FED can't do anything about it.
The FED has shut off the federal government before, hopefully they do it again but I doubt it.
@sk8knight is correct . I read 90% but posted 70 by mistake . And the Jones Act Waiver was done last night to help while the pipeline gets back to normal
my point is if you live in Florida there was no reason to hoard.
I'm old enough to remember the Jimmy Carter jokes in Obama's first term. Funny thing is we've had 2 GOP one-term Presidents more recently than Carter. Get some new material.
