Almost none of it is shale. And yes, the tar sands have basically become worthless at the moment - a barrel of West Canada Select was below $4 at one point a couple weeks ago. It’s gone back up toward $10 but I think it needs to be above $35 to be profitable so, yeah.

I guess I should be more specific in that I will often remember the car I rented but, like, won’t remember much about the car because it’s a low-cost beat-em-up rental and not something that I rented to enjoy driving.

I hope she will start doing home appointments soon. I need it.

Yeah, and there’s some who still worry about their eyebrows, and their ability to try on and buy new shoes & other summer clothing, and there’s some etc.

Unless for some reason it was in the same rental class as a 911 I can’t imagine what would ever be memorable about a low-cost rental car or anywhere you went with it no matter what the make or model.

Bring a trailer! The other 95% of the time the van will be more practical.

I have and currently do. Keep one heavy duty truck around for when we have to tow larger equipment or need the bed, but the rest of the fleet are vans and nobody I work with would rather a truck.

The percentage of contractors who would need a truck bed more than they would need an enclosed space to store their equipment & transport materials is very small. Further, they could always use a trailer for most things they can’t use the truck for.

Which is why truck sales are more linked to daily drivers than contractors. People aren’t buying them for work as much.

Vans are more practical for pretty much everything you just mentioned.

How hard would it be for some Republican to somehow spread COVID on gym equipment in the SC after reading about this?

So, you work with cows? 

I dunno. Remember when he carted Bubba’s victim list to the debate with Hillary? 

Most contractors do just fine and aren’t “lower-wage”. They’ll just pass the cost on to whoever’s hiring them.

The Navy has other ships that can do what you’re describing, and there are also a shit ton of other ways to move troops rapidly into combat zones - C130's, helo’s etc.

I don’t think Canada’s passed NAFTA2.0 yet anyway so, at the very least, any implementation would just be the US and Mexico. 

Yeah these are all things you can do with less than 11 aircraft carriers.

You’re delusional if you think half of the EU weren’t equally responsible for 08 as the US.
