I dunno I’ve yet to see a non dollar denominated international commercial invoice.

some bulk trading going off the dollar nominally is not the big deal y’all think it is. wake me when the negotiated pricing isn’t based off dollar markets.

bulk cargos (liquid and solid) are a pretty simple trade. they use old school ocean bills of lading that are a bit esoteric anymore but that would facilitate a non dollar payment.

They're basically just going for placement, but extremely repetitive stuff like that is going to be counterproductive so I'm surprised they're bothering.

Pennsylvania did some poo poo permitting gas companies to raise rate and add weather adjustments for 2023. since the new year my gas bill on the budget plan has doubled

anyway, they're still billing me that doubled amount even though I'm positive on my budget balance



Thanks to the gas company and thanks to the PUC for making this all possible

it depends on the square feet of your place and if you have pre-installed vents in it. I have vents in my house from a furnace so when I got mine installed they retrofitted the heat pump to that system, so I get heat/AC all across my house. cost about ~$5k to get everything installed + labor, and my utilities bill, which is inclusive of water and sewage too, tops out at $150 a month, and even down to $90 if I don't have to use it that much.

you can also get ductless units installed for specific parts of the house that could cost ~$2k each.

I'm kind of in the middle. I think this is not a "nothingburger," but you're also not going to see massive de-dollarization in just a couple of weeks or months. I don't think most normal businesses will see an effect for a while.

I don’t know if it was intentional, and I realize the writers all went to Harvard, but there’s a reason Lisa Simpson perfectly embodies this kind of person and was a great way to mock Liz Warren.

Is Lisa really smart or has she just learned how to do homework the right way and tick all of the correct boxes while making insipid presentations?

there are an average of 1,500 train derailments in the US every year. you're just hearing more about it now because of the Ohio incident last month. the media is capitalizing on the fact that the articles generate clicks, and absolute morons like you fall for it and think everything has started collapsing
