    I think the economy needs a recession

    Inflation is caused by TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT SPENDING. Some talk about going back to the GOLD STANDARD, but that is a terrible ideal, as economics change so fast, and such disparity that we would lose all are gold and be in a great depression. The very reason we left the gold standard to begin...

    I think the economy needs a recession

    The late Great Friedman would point to the massive stimulus (government spending) and the surge in money supply during and after the pandemic as the primary driver.

    Bad employers

    From former employees, they sure hated Champ Labs. Always hiring temps and letting them go. Overworked underpaid, screwed over by that unsufferable CEO crook. At least Fram was union.

    Burger King Whopper

    BTW what is this trend of ditching the microwave oven? BK used to have microwaves and that guaranteed a hot sandwich. Then they said "it's made fresh so don't need a microwave, the patty will melt the cheese" Ever since then, I have received cold food on multiple occasions. GTFO!

    Pump your gasoline slowly

    that "free" ounce or two is yours, you paid for it. If others leave it in the hose, their loss.

    You’ll never see $70 oil again.

    Illiois basin is just itching for a Fracking BOOM. It was held back the first time because of lacking IDNR rules, now we have rules, but we need 100+ oil to make it worthwhile. Strata-X had proven 300 barrels per day was possible.. back in 2014, but oil prices crashed. and they left.

    Gas Price Ramifications... Not Good

    well, many ARE sitting at home, more than ever, making Youtube/Gofundme/onlyfans videos, and sitting around at home smoking pot, banging potatoes, unemployed, living at parents rent free, and have alcoholism. A top ten LOLcow on KiwiFarms, that dresses like a pirate... Styxhexhammer666 He is...

    Honda Cancels ALL Their EVs for the U.S. - Here's Why It's a Terrible Idea

    I will say, Honda is a very demanding customer... send them one defective assembly and it's a quality emergency; all hell breaks loose. A really big deal. The line is designed for 45pcs per hour, and they make orders for 55pcs per hour, and will not support adding additional machines to meet...

    First Brands (Fram) bankruptcy

    Okay, 100 years out was hyperbole. The rest I find true. Name me one American manufacturing company the people are actually happy to work for? They are not that common.

    First Brands (Fram) bankruptcy

    I have to say, the Japanese owned/joint venture companies really do not suffer from this problem. They have "100 year" plans. It is a uniquely a Western business culture practice to do what First Brands did. I rather work for a company that is foreigner owned in America, than work for an...

    What happens to the overllow fluid in a Nissan CVT?

    Well, I just find it strange that when I do a drain fill, and do the final step of running the engine up to operating temp, and open the large plug on the pan to "drain out the excess" I put the plug back in when it starts dripping.... then the next scheduled drain/fill I discovered a leak in...

    What happens to the overllow fluid in a Nissan CVT?

    I'm not asking how to change the fluid, I am asking what happens to the "overfilled" fluid that falls down the stand pipe to the lower pan. It just sits there or gets recirculated? All videos I've seen people do not get all that fluid out, they throw the plug back in when it starts to...
