And about those hard times a'comin...

 Get ready for them.

A final note: my brother tells me that his conversations with other truckers indicate that, should diesel passe the five-dollar/gallon mark, a large number of his fellow independents and owner/operators intend to shut ’em down. They’ll do it too; they’ll have to, they won’t have any choice in the matter. My brother his own self is near that point already; he told me the other day that his every-other-day fillup, formerly around 250 to 300 dollars, cost him well over eight hundred bucks last time. No business can go on hemorrhaging that kind of money for very long before quickly bleeding out. Think the huge truck-driver shortage, a genuinely dangerous situation, couldn’t possibly get much worse than it already is? Think the price of every good, every commodity, can’t keep rising so insanely? Think this is a crisis we’re in now? Just you wait until thousands more trucks, the lifeblood of our economy, have been taken off the road for good.

Go read it all from top to bottom.  You think diesel is going to stay around $5 a gallon?  It's going to keep going up.  And up.  And up.  Along with the prices on everything else, because everything gets delivered to your store by a TRUCK that's burning DIESEL.  This is just the beginning of those hard times, folks.  It's only going to get worse from here.  And all of this, ever single bit of it, is being done on purpose by the Left.  This is not an accident.  This is not some oopsie.  This is an assault on America by the people inside America who hate this country and everything it stands for.

Buckle up.  Start washing your tin foil.  Get ready to grow some food.  Hell, learn how to re-use anything in your house.  The stupid people are going to find out why so many of their grandparents never threw out a damn thing.
