The unfortunate problem of the oil production facilities locations is largely logistics driven, and so putting them in a safer spot, perhaps east of Phoenix, would lead to other problems.
It will be interesting to see how the return to full production goes. Those very strong winds do break things.
There is also the quality point. While some Walmart products are adequate quality, some of their products are assembled with the poorest possible quality. (by quality I mean proper assembly and adquate materials, NOT a long list of features).
Of course another very big area of excess expense is vastly overpaid top management. I see way more of that than is really decent.
It is usually wise to not own stock in a company found to be breakinglaws, or even just looking like they are breaking laws. Also it is wise to avoid companies run by weasels.
Copper is already priced almost out of sight. That impacts the cost of electricl construction BIG TIME.
So the fed bankers are getting their wish granted and inflation is running rampant. And now they talk about "reducing the accelleration" a bit. No talk at all about stopping the inflation push.
It would benefit the rest of the world if the feds realized that their friends in the financial sector are only a small part of reality.
The price of gold (actual gold metal) varies in proportion to the LACK OF CONFIDENCE in the rest of the economy. And based on our federal reserve bankers, I would choose to have a lot of actual gold on hand these days. But I don't.
It appears that once again those chaps do not concern themselves with any folks except the financial sector stock traders and major shareholders.
It seems that the effect of inflation on the other 90% of the population does not matter much, if at all. At least not in their world. Perhaps this is the time for "an adjustment" in the membership of the Fed, or maybe even "a correction" of some sort. The reduction of the accelleration of inflation is not at all the same as halting the damage, or even backing off. How often do inflted food and housing prices deflate? I don't recall it happening at all, maybe I missed it?
The problem is that the wages of many never catch up to the rise in prices. And so many folks lack the means to conveniently boost their incomes to natch the inflation of prices.
Perhaps the effective income of all the fed actors shold be reduced in proportion to the value drop in our dollars from inflation. An interesting radical thought.
What is so terrible about putting economic GROWTH on hold for a while?Just marking time in position, neither shrinking nor growing? It is not like the world will end, or even that people will be executed if the market holds still for a few days. Consider that with this plague attacking some folks are dying, WHICH AFFECTS THEM greatly. How much will a few days without any changes damage other than those so very addicted with greed that it shapes their entire lives?
