You can't ship what isn't produced. Check out Packaging Corporation of America latest financial report. Cardboard box sales are down 9.8% in Q2 after a 12.7% decrease in Q1. Cardboard boxes are a great economic indicator as it illustrates buying, selling and overall productivity.

Most importantly, foreign countries have been accepting treasury bills ( even short term ones ) to pay for goods. They don’t want that crap any more. The $ is no good

I’ll say…I own shares in ZIM shipping and it stopped paying dividends and dropped over 65%…and I was paying mostly around 40$ a share, now around 15$…was in the 80$ during the beer virus 🦠..it’s my worst stock I hold…but the rest are in commodities and are doing quite well!

Buddy I think we have one party the crooked party I really pissed folks off in Texas because I got a V for Vivek sign and said I would rather vote for a bright 38 year old that is super sharp and two men past time for assisted living and ready for the happy acres old folks home. The whole system is bad common sense folks that work for a living sem to all be getting it and to my suprise my 33 year olds agree these old farts need to have a rest and let new blood remake Americas balance sheet.

True.There is only one very crooked Party.Any candidate that could make a difference is rapidly marginalized,i.e.Ron Paul is an example.

Yeah,Vivek is interesting.
