It owns how anything more complicated than A->B cannot be distilled and presented to the public in a way they can understand. Hell even that is too much to ask with covid and climate change. People I work with have already decided unreliable green energy is the culprit and nothing can move them from it. Chuds here love the deregulated energy market. They beam with pride every year when they have to sift through complicated contracts with diverse risk profiles to pay more for energy anyway. All those options must mean they have the power. Meanwhile the CO poisoning deaths are piling up and the local news is real sad about it and all but it hasnt been this cold in 30 years so can you really expect to be prepared for that - or harvey - or the tax day floods - or the bastrop fire. You know, those once in a lifetime events.

The biggest thing I noticed is that shipping went to some just in time thing and the employees got put on rounds where they had to go check sections and scan a dongle so they couldent just bullshit with you between pouring beers. It really sucked for them and turnover went up tremendously. The shareholder value must be tremendous and we stopped going there.

I wonder how economical those rigs that run off wellhead gas are. Companies would pay you to take the gas at the wellhead but you would have to scrub most of it. Would probably make more sense to tie it to a local hub with short pipelines but that would be an investment. There is enough energy generation in Texas and few enough rules that im sure there are some angles to find.

Is the argument here that automation isn't impacting people or something? My job, that I will soon be walking away from, is to automate away an entire industry and we are not doing it to replace humans with robots we are doing it to replace a college educated human with one that maybe graduated high-school.

Ok help me out here. In my naive mind inflation is driven a few ways 1. More money chasing the same number of goods 2. The same money chasing fewer goods 3. Some combination of the above or relative movement So in our current situation we have had massive supply chain disruptions and layoffs followed by some degree of rebound. Im assuming if you looked at manufacturing numbers you would see fewer goods overall reaching consumer hands but probably something like higher inventories on unfinished goods due to all the supply chain fuckery. From this razor thin analysis I would say that price increases are largely driven by (2). The supply of goods has decreased relative to demand and prices have spiked. On the other hand wages appear to actually be increasing, at least for those that can get it and in certain sectors. Something like 15+ million people were instantly fired in 2020. Now that hiring is occurring you have some people that left the workforce, some that died or were disabled by covid, and some dynamics related to hiring and time that are too long to get into here. Basically labor supply chain fuckery, to remove the human misery from it. However im guessing Americans in aggregate don't have more spending money than they did before the pandemic. The key thing here is both of these are transitory and are related to the impulse shocks of covid. Its smacking a coupled pendulum real hard, it takes a while to settle out and the motion is complicated. So overall its like a reduction in aggregate demand, but with more severe supply disruptions that overcompensate. Since we have little competition in many sectors, prices are quick to rise. Any money that the federal government throws at this is going to increase the divide to some degree but the fundamental problem still remains that the supply of goods can't recover as fast as demand and thats due to two corporate pathologies in a head on collision with covid: supply chain "optimization" and layoffs-first-ask-questions later. The serious economists are focusing on rising wages and government stimulus though. Their solution is to further reduce demand by taking money out of peoples hands. Im willing to bet this is exactly why student loan repayment is a thing - its a quick way to pull money out of the system. Profits go up and people suffer - same as it ever was. Is this correct at all or just insane ravings? I'm trying to piece it all together myself.

Yeah it turns out owning an asston of houses with different floor plans material needs kind of destroys the one corporate strategy we have of standardization and throwing supply chain weight around
