Amazon's stock dropped back to where is was over two years ago. Still trading at almost 95 times earnings.
Well said.God forbid that we spend our money on locally- or regionally-made products and keep our neighbors with solid, good-paying jobs!
A lowly programmer?? Surely you jest! I seem to remember someone who thought super highly of himself and all his crap ideas who told people that manufacturing jobs were “gone forever”, and people should “learn how to code”… and then somehow a whole bunch of manufacturing jobs were created around 6 years ago. Weird.I have not been a blue coat worker for many years but I support and honor labor. Not everyone will be a lowly programmer like me.
In seventh grade I got to vote for Ross Perot but it was only a school event. What I learned was that you can pick whoever but have facts and solid beliefs on why we chose who we did.Ross Perot was right about NAFTA....it sent American jobs south of the border.....which is still better than sending them to our main global adversary.
I remember that too. Ah the annoited one. I say believe in your countrymen even when the times are tough. Dad always told me if everyone was a genius then who would cook their breakfast,drive them to work,clean their house,etc. We don't get to do the job we sometimes want to, but dreams and believing in self can get us to places we never thought existed.A lowly programmer??

They regularly park those baretables all over the place, we have unused branch lines where they will shove 30 miles of them into storage for months at a time, doesn't necessarily mean anything. The beginning of the year is always slower in the RR and when furloughs and rail car storage generally happen, volumes are not down drastically though this year from what I've seen over the last 20 yrs I've been in the industry.Hmm, shipping containers piling up in China? I remember thousands of flatcars parked on rail lines along the Missouri River prior to the 2009 recession. Later an article said shipments were down and BNSF needed a place for excess railcars.
Anyone driving along the Missouri? Report back.
I call myself "a lowly programmer" because I don't like people who flaunt their money. I am a hope-to-die alcoholic who got lucky. I got sober and things got better. But I know I am one of the lucky ones and I don't take it for gtanted. So yeah, I am "a lowly programmer".A lowly programmer?? Surely you jest!

Cost over 52,000 [some were my friends] lives for the priveledge of buying low cost stuff from Vietnam.Make it Vietnam.
It was more than 1.3 million lives lost. Quite a terrible adventure.Cost over 52,000 [some were my friends] lives for the priveledge of buying low cost stuff from Vietnam.
Yeah, rough time in the USA back then. Everyone knew someone who didnt come home. I have the highest respect for those who serve.Cost over 52,000 [some were my friends] lives for the priveledge of buying low cost stuff from Vietnam.
Found this article to discuss alleged slowdown in Chinese exports surprising. Something doesn't add up, not sure exactly what. But with Home Depot mixed earnings report earlier today, something seems askew.
I always put a * from anything being reported from or about China. China is a master at misinformation campaigns. None the less, if the information in this article happens to be accurate, could be a canary in the coalmine indicator about near term economic growth.
2020 3.2 million gallons a dayI never paid more than $1.70/gal for diesel in 2020. Today its $4+/gal.
Later this year will mark 50 years since Jim died in a plane crash.
