It is Tuesday morning, 18 October 2022. Time to make the tractor payment.
I think that the only people that believe conspiracy theories are those that were swapped with other babies in the hospital nursery.
That ought to distract them for a while.
Listening to the news this morning, still amazed at the lack of honesty out there about the sources of inflation. OK, here’s the deal. Supply and demand. If supply is limited, people will either volunteer to pay more, they will be forced to pay more for goods, or they will get by without. Sometimes it is 100% supply and demand. Some other times, though, it comes down to the person holding the goods believing that the purchaser has more money in their pocket, so they just charge more because they know the goods are necessary. Supply, demand, price gouging, supply chain issues that affect the availability of goods, concentrated manufacturing in a smaller number of large facilities to focus on economies of scale while also creating single points of failure.
I’m no genius, but blaming one administration for a worldwide increase in prices is disingenuous. Joe Biden has no more control over prices in Sri Lanka than Sri Lanka has control over prices here.
Now, the OPEC situation is a little different. Those poor oil-producing countries are so exploited… (sarcasm, folks). Every time the US has to deal with Middle Eastern countries or Venezuela or Russia, it makes me cringe. The solution is one that folks don’t like to face, but we need to find better fuels.
OK, time for me to get focused on the day. Cloud Solutions Architecture doesn’t just happen.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
