Hi reindeer, I wont argue that you know a lot more about this stuff than me, but I can only see what I see from my short experience on planet Earth and what I'm seeing now is the worst I've ever seen ever in my existence. There are actions that can be taken to lessen the blow to Americans, but they refuse to take those actions. The American middle class is hurting. I am one of them. However, I'm very grateful for the firewood I've stockpiled over the last two years and the woodstove was the first addition when I purchased my house. I forsee a lot of normal people "working families" struggle this winter to heat their homes.

Hopefully it will be a November to Remember.
