California bans 70,000 tractor-trailers
Parts:
“All tractor-trailers and buses made before 2010 are now banned from the state’s highways. The state is generously allowing older big rigs to remain in service if their engines have been replaced with ones manufactured after 2010.
This likely won’t put many trucking companies out of business, but it will definitely drive up their costs significantly. And those increases will be passed on to recipients, leading the price of pretty much everything to go up… again.”
Comment:
First of all, its totally ridicules and makes no sense, and abnormal, to ship coffee mugs, ratchet sets and plastic toys and tv sets etc from the east coast of China, across the Pacific Ocean then across the entire USA to the east coast of the USA. Six Seven thousand miles?? Obviously the shipping costs have been artificially held down some how by gov’ts, like airline tickets, AU AG etc.
So, lets think positive. Lets hope the increased shipping costs will cause or enable cheaper domestic production, more factories near retail outlets creating millions of jobs, and put China the global vendor out of business. But that trend already started. We are taking chip needs production away from them n back to us. I can handle a $20 screwdriver from NY rather than a $4 screwdriver from China fine.

Re California…..that is the kind of stuff I was thinking about, when I said the Rig hides reality…they keep getting away with it….tks to the Rig.
Still someone is buying PM’s in a v serious way.
California bans 70,000 tractor-trailers amid supply chain crisis
Tell me this isn’t a lunatic idea! The only good thing is that it will cause so much damage that maybe some of the WEF politicians will be voted out! I’m hoping.

I know for myself I sure don’t trust the medical establishment as much as I once did … not with a large part of it seemingly a dedicated murder machine.
Good luck!
The Coup We Never Knew: Victor Davis Hanson
Did someone or something seize control of the United States?
What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?
Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?
When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent to dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had granted America’s wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pollution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers, which laws, which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines near criminal?
Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas—furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our justices’ homes, with placards declaring “Off with their d—s”?
Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth? And on whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?
How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a president over a phone call? Of the speaker of the House tearing up the State of the Union address on national television? Of barring congressional members from serving on their assigned congressional committees?
When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the campaign of a candidate it disliked? Was it legal suddenly for one presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of her rival?
Was some state or federal law passed that allowed biological males to compete in female sports? Did Congress enact such a law? Did the Supreme Court guarantee that biological male students could shower in gym locker rooms with biological women? Were women ever asked to redefine the very sports they had championed?
When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their freedom during a pandemic? In America can health officials simply cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension? How could it become illegal for mom-and-pop stores to sell flowers or shoes during a quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target?
Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures?
What happened to Election Night returns? Did the fact that Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?
When did the nation abruptly decide that theft is not a crime, assault not a felony? How can thieves walk out with bags of stolen goods, without the wrath of angry shoppers, much less fear of the law?
Was there ever a national debate about the terrified flight from Afghanistan? Who planned it and why?
What happened to the once trusted FBI? Why almost overnight did its directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges with concocted tales from fake dossiers and with doctored writs? Did Congress pass a law that our federal leaders in the FBI or CIA could lie with impunity under oath?
Who redefined our military and with whose consent? Who proclaimed that our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff could call his Chinese Communist counterpart to warn him that America’s president was supposedly unstable? Was it always true that retired generals routinely libeled their commander-in-chief as a near Nazi, a Mussolini, an adherent of the tools of Auschwitz?
Were Americans ever asked whether their universities could discriminate against their sons and daughters based on their race? How did it become physically dangerous to speak the truth on a campus? Whose idea was it to reboot racial segregation and bias as “theme houses,” “safe spaces,” and “diversity”? How did that happen in America?
How did a virus cancel the Constitution? Did the lockdowns rob of us of our sanity? Or was it the woke hysteria that ignited our collective madness?
We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare to a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup we never knew.
ipso facto
Had to book a routine blood test today…was told to wear a mask , when I come in….then u think if that is the level of their medical thinking, what will they make of the test, seeing as they are clearly seriously dense.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for this to happen
The doctors of this country — of all Western Civ, really — owe their citizens an apology and an explanation, and even then, they might not be able to save modern medicine. The doctors have dishonored and disgraced their profession. They promulgated a Covid- 19 vaccination that is now clearly killing a lot of people early in life and unnaturally. To this day, no established professional group of doctors, or formal association, or major journal, has called for an end to the vaxx program.
Highlights from the Chief

yep, good, strong moves and closes. Battle for $1850 resumes in the spot market.
Rates falling back down, same with the USD.
The stars are aligned for the pm’s to rally…

Interesting … gold’s reaction to the good unemployment report wasn’t what would be expected. Still a little groggy here on the west coast so I haven’t seen much but we’re looking good so far.
Cheers
bubblevision is saying
Dec. non farm payrolls up 223,000 vs 200,000 expected … but the market is up because wage growth has slowed. FWIW

We need some strong closes to help the TA picture……so far we have a chance the mkt may provide them.
Jobs Report a miss
223K vs expectations of 263K.
SM jumped but coming back in, pm’s about the same. Rates initially dropped, then popped.
Looks like a nothing burger but at least we’re not getting crushed.
Just thinking about time and what Midnight Gardener said
about being patient and sitting tight.
Been in this game of pm’s for 20 + years and I’m probably less capable of sitting tight than when I was just a few years in. Mainly because I’ve seen a lot of head fakes over the years and have seen a lot of gains come and go thinking “this was it”.
Let’s hope this time is the last time and we get the 10 baggers that have been so elusive over the years. Hope that we finally see $5K gold and $100 silver we’ve been promised for so long. Bitcoin type moves.
USD up, 10 yr. up 5 bips, pm’s flat, so the table is set for the jobs report. Hoping for a strong close to the first week in 2023. Hope is a helluva drug. 🙂
Ipso
HUI and shares held up surprisingly well yesterday. Another good sign of things to come?
Jobs report today, be nice if we bucked the usual trend of getting smashed.
Time for things to change and for pm’s to move higher for a while?
Weather
This is a good one for any relatives you have in California, He used to work for airlines guiding planes in. Learned a few things from him, He gives detailed reports on weather and what’s coming, normal weather channels tend to be bias.
