Our brighter readers will note that you haven't risen to the challenge presented. But your obsession is flattering.

In 2019 Portland construction was hopping. It's pretty dead now and you can feel it. No new commercial real estate construction and residential apartments and condo construction is also way down. Doom loop is definitely in process. If only we had some central planners in the local, state and federal government that promoted open borders, deficit spending and massive borrowing, high energy prices and a collapsing public education system.

Maybe he just has a problem putting his thoughts into words, or can’t control his tangents, but H comes across as a scatterbrained fool when he tries to engage.

Some more leftard capitalism that the dazzler loves to promote. Stuck in a doom loop? Just pass some more doom friendly laws.
MILE MARKERS ON THE ROAD TO DETROIT: San Francisco Bill Would Let People Sue Grocery Stores for Closing Too Quickly.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is considering a remarkable policy that would allow people to sue grocery stores that close too quickly.
Earlier this week, Supervisors Dean Preston and Aaron Peskin introduced an ordinance that, if passed, would require grocery stores to provide six months’ written notice to the city before closing down.
Supermarket operators would also have to make “good faith” efforts to ensure the continued availability of groceries at their shuttered location, either through finding a successor store, helping residents form a grocery co-op, or any other plan they might work out by meeting with city and neighborhood residents.
Lest one thinks this is some heavy-handed City Hall intervention, the ordinance makes clear that owners still retain the ultimate power to close their store. It also creates a number of exemptions to the six-month notice requirement. If a store is closing because of a natural disaster or business circumstances that aren’t “reasonably foreseeable,” it doesn’t have to provide the full six months’ notice.
Still, should stores close without providing the proper notice, persons affected by the closure would be entitled to sue the closed store for damages.
San Francisco’s city government apparently can’t stop their city’s doom spiral, so why not extort those supermarkets closing up as a result of it? I’m sure that won’t accelerate the city’s descent at all.

Some more good news for California energy consumers. Due to Cali renewable energy standards oil refineries are being converted to renewable diesel production. Renewable diesel is made from vegetable oil, mostly soybean oil. Crude oil is currently selling for about 30 cents a pound and soybean oil for about 49 cents a pound. Crude oil also has a higher BTU energy level than soybean oil. So the raw price of soybean oil is 63% higher than crude oil with less energy. Party of SCIENCE indeed. Clearly more dazzler like central planning at work.
GOODER AND HARDER, CA: Why gas prices in California ‘have gone ballistic.’
Gas prices have been on the rise nationwide, but for California drivers, they’ve skyrocketed in a short amount of time.
The Golden State’s average at the pump surged by $0.23 to $5.27 per gallon on Friday from a week ago, according to AAA data. Meanwhile, the nationwide average sat at $3.54 per gallon on Friday, up $0.04 during the same period.
Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at OPIS, points to refinery challenges as the main culprit for California’s surging prices, including an important Phillips 66 refiner in the Bay Area halting gasoline production in favor of renewable diesel.
“Throw in regularly scheduled maintenance that will occur at two critical refineries in May and the normal penchant for speculative buying in global markets in the second quarter, and you have wholesale prices that have gone ballistic,” he said.
Kloza calculates gasoline in San Francisco, less taxes and other costs, is at a premium of almost $60 per barrel more than current crude levels.
On Friday West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) futures topped $86 per barrel while Brent (BZ=F), the international benchmark price, settled above $91 per barrel.

Vanilla aids reply to @HHusky
Again, our long time readers will note that we've already been down this road before with me handing you your ass and you going *poof from the thread then pretending it never happened.
Is it age related dementia, memory loss, or just plane bad faith argumentation from the dazzler once again? I'll let our readers decide.
Everyone recognizes you for your excellent knowledge of keynesian economics after all. Lol @Bob_C and I will have a good chuckle at your tossing terms around you don't understand to sound super duper smart.
Toodles Ethel.

I need to hear some more from Buck about how great barry's immigration policy was versus Trump. Maybe the dementia patient should adopt Barry's immigration policies, the policies that Buck still hasn't described despite several requests.
