I got up this morning, got the coffee going and turned on the news to see that Chicago has voted in a mayor that is even more liberal and progressive than Lightfoot. He vows to continue to defund the police and to raise taxes on businesses. I wonder how many business owners will wake up this morning and start making plans to move operations outside of Chicago. I can’t wrap my head around the people of Chicago voting to make their situation worse.
Sunday night, I heard about several large oil producing countries are planning to cut production by over 1 million barrels a day, so Monday morning I went ahead and filled up my truck and a couple of gas cans at Bucee’s at $2.899 per gallon. I checked the price at Bucee’s on Tuesday and it had jumped to $3.099 per gallon. This morning when I checked, it was $3.299. Those are significant jumps over the course of two days. A friend reminded me that it is also time for the summer blend gas price increases. So that might contribute to soaring gas prices.
Happy Wednesday everyone!!!
