      Could be shipping, I dunno. That, and I'm ignorant of how Walmart sets prices. I do know you can see some variation between stores.

        They're offering 80-90K for the technician job.

                              I dunno...inventory at all price points is crazy low, but someone in that income range should be able to get a decent little house in the $250-275k range.... at least in much of Connecticut. (of course, pre-covid these were $150-180K houses)

                                Three years ago, a conventional (30 year) 80% mortgage on that house would have cost you about $1137 a month.

                                Today, the same loan is $1746. More than $7,000 a year more.

                                  We’re setting oil production records under Biden.

                                  U.S. oil production is forecast to average an all-time high of 12.8 million barrels a day this year and keep growing to 13.1 million in 2024, the federal Energy Information Administration said in its latest forecast. That’s up from the most recent trough of 5 million barrels a day in 2008, and probably enough to help the U.S. to keep its title as the No. 1 global crude oil producer.

                                  But what about federal lands?

                                  In fact, though, oil production from federal lands and waters has risen on Biden’s watch, reaching past 3 million barrels per day last year. The high mark during President Donald Trump’s term was 2.75 million barrels a day.

                                          What would be reasons to take oil out of the strategic reserve? Not exactly sure why people were upset when oil was taken out a couple of years ago.

                                          Appears that the US govt made money on it. (Of course I am sure they had no idea of exactly where oil prices would go, so kind of risky if they were just doing it for money)

                                          "On March 31, 2022, President Joe Biden announced that his administration would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the reserve for the next 180 days, selling it at an average price of $96 per barrel. After oil prices declined during the second half of the year, in December the administration announced it would begin replenishing the SPR in early 2023, expecting to purchase oil at a lower price than it was sold, a process that would take months or years to complete."
