No, he wanted to fill the Strategic Oil Storage:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s plan to fill the U.S. emergency crude oil stockpile has become the centerpiece of his administration’s strategy to shield drillers from a meltdown in energy demand - but company officials and industry groups say the program has been too slow and won’t be enough to save them.

But, if it gets worse, pussy will be “cheaper”We live in an actual

what's your opinion on 20 year old MREs
Yep you right. Especially integrity, common sense, justice, balls, and honest elections.
I doubt it Congress is full of them, and they sell their ass for pretty high dollars judging by their individual networths.
This airport is also the gateway to most of northeastern CA, from Bishop to Alturas, and southern Oregon east of I-5. East of Reno the nearest major airport is SLC UT. Although all this part of the country is sparsely settled (a good thing in my book) shortages in Reno will affect an extremely large area.The airport serving Nevada’s second largest metro area faces a shortage of jet fuel that could force the cancellation of cargo and passenger fights, potentially restricting the flow of tourists and essential goods into the northern part of the state.
Nevada’s political leaders issued a statement late Saturday pledging to minimize disruption at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and ensure the aerial fight against Western wildfires isn’t hampered. Besides serving Reno, a popular gambling destination, the airport is the nearest passenger terminal to Lake Tahoe.

I don't understand how this shit isn't affecting the stock market. The only possible answer would be the Democrats printing trillions of dollars of helicopter money to their friends, cronies and the poors propping up the cash flow.
Several factors:
Foreign money coming in... They think America is "Too Big to Fail"...
Inflation.... Seems the phrase "million's of dollars" has been replaced by "trillions of dollars"....
The companies that make up the Dow, S&P 500, etc are different companies than several years ago. They drop out the losers and replace them with the high fliers to boost up the indexes...
Too many factors for the guy trying to make a living to keep up with. Just think "smoke and mirrors".
Just my opinions. Now we will hear from the guys making a killing in the market.
I spoke with someone from one of the companies that produce MREs, and they said there are many factors that impact the lifespan of MREs. For example, storage in high heat can reduce it's lifespan.
They said they have product that has been in storage for 40+ years and still good.
Was told to watch for signs of package swelling, and if there's a foul odor when opening the package, then don't eat it.
Try before you buy too much. We personally use ours as a pantry. Pull something off the shelf and it's added to the shopping list.
Now when things get tight, we will stop using our stockpile until it's needed. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to buy some MRE product in the event that things go south and stay that way for more than 6 months.

Working at US Embassy Liberia in 1990 I found a case of C Rats dated 1952.
Bored one night working mids I opened one up to check it out.
Cans all looked good, used the included P-38, opened up the crackers, heard the vacuum break, ended up eating some beef stew or something on crackers.
Few nights later I went back to the well. This time spaghetti and meat sauce.
Buried the point of the P-38.
Instead of air in it was an eruption of high pressure meat sauce out. It was foul smelling and I abandoned post one in response.
It ejected meat sauce for about 5-10 seconds all the way to the ceiling tile overhead.
Fucking gross and took a good part of my remaining shift to clean up.
Don't eat shit from 1952.

he's acting out his role as 'federal agent guy' well. With big, evil socialist government the nomenklatura never has shortages. the parasitical leeches who sit in the offices of invented, useless jobs with their extravagant salaries paid for with taxpayer money always have the guarantee that everything they need will be provided because they are part of the ruling class.
Back in 1775, we didn't have the term 'socialism', but they had the same kind of elitist bureaucrats. Our founding fathers tarred and feathered them, and ultimately made them Canadian citizens. Since then, everyone seems to have forgotten the fact that government is our servant and not our master.

When the ammo shortage became evident... It was suggested that the Federal Government was buying up all of the popular sizes of ammo. Thus creating an artificial shortage. No, I did not Fact Check.

There will always be some grocery stores with full shelves, low prices and happy shoppers..... And a news crew taking video and interviewing the customers. Damage control and propaganda go hand in hand.
the port backup has been going on since covid surfaced. it’s nothing new, they drag that out everytime they need an excuse for something and act like it is a new development.

The Fairlife stuff is also pretty dang healthy (more so than Horizon, the last time I compared labels).
Hands down my go-to brand.Expiration dates are awesome too.
I buy mine on eBay and mount them myself, I'm pretty good with my bubble balancer too, daily drivers I'll take them to be spin ballanced. Even though not needed yet, I've been buying up spare sets of tires for my vehicles. Which may prove futile if no gas. I'd be the Jackass driving around in my Frontier with a bed full of homemade gasifier, and new tires! (I have a few large ring binders of info/plans I've printed out for *just in case*) I really need to buy a surpluses 10 KV diesel generator (that runs off a gasifier, of course!) Oh! I just finished paying for half a 1600# steer, should be going to the butcher in the next week or so!
The 'Ripple Effect"....
New York (CNN Business)General Motors will shut production at most of its North American plants for a week or two starting next week as the worsening chip shortage takes another bite out of its plans.
GM and other automakers had hoped the chip shortage would be mostly behind them by now. But the surge in Covid cases, especially in Southeast Asia where many of the chip manufacturers are based, has actually created a worsening problem for automakers.

Distilled water in my area is in very short supply. Glad I've got a few extras. Use it for my cpap and less commonly for a humidifier. Between Smiths, Bowmans, Walgreens, WinCo, and another Smiths, yesterday I only found 1 gallon half hidden in WinCo. They've been getting it in and selling out like crazy.
That’s an odd one.
