Okay, You Can Stop Sending Me These......And a Little Economic Scare.....

 Let's talk a little this morning about economics.....

-The ports are not unloading anything. We of course are talking about the ports that get ships from China, and yes, there are ports on our side of the continent that get ships from Asia.  They're already talking about laying-off longshoremen, truckers, warehouse people....

-OPEC+ is about to flood the market with oil, this morning, oil has recovered some, but yesterday, the oil price crashed. You must remember, our area is a "One Trick Pony" concerning economics....It's oil and gas, oil and gas.......The oil market is down, well, it'll start to hurt here. 

- Just to add to the list of indicators to watch 

1) Lumber - indicates residential construction ( Lumber demand has tanked.)

2) Copper - indicates industrial construction 

3) Oil - a general indicator of everything 

Copper seems to be doing OK, but oil and lumber are in the toilet. ( Part of the copper deal is Chinese demand. The government over there is still building stuff they don't need. Government works projects.)

Part 2-

-I got to quit showing my love of Church History on this blog. And the College of Cardinals election of a new Pope? Well, this is must see TV for this Protestant.

It's been like an open door to some of you. 

People have come out of the woodwork with their theological/denominational beliefs.  Sending me PM's. emails, and whoever has started upping the number of prayer cards in the mail. 

Stop, please stop. I asked this recently. I ask once again.

As the Rev. Billy Graham said, " I am happy with my soul and its' salvation."

There was someone who sent a message throwing a fit about me talking about the Catholics and the selection of the next Pope.....Again, don't like the blog, don't read it.
