For those who thinks that $1 hot dog/soda combo at Costco is a GREAT deal..it's not. The soda costs .01 and the hot dog less- they're ripping you off.

McD isn't there anymore along with every American company except (for some reason) Burger King probably Ace Hardware too..they're still giving out plastic which is against Colorado Law..these people knew it was coming with the New Year 2022. Everybody has adhered but them.

Fort Collins likely to adjust plastic bag ban to align with new Colorado law

Plastic bags and polystyrene takeout containers aren't long for this world in Fort Collins. Changes are coming for state and local policy.

McD was not allowed to import and had to use local so it was an easy switch to take the arches and call it (translated) 'tasty and that's it'.

I thought the wheel bearings would hold out a bit longer, but the shortage is starting to take cars out of service already, in a year the situation should be dire, winter is hard on railway equipment. Russia is heavily dependent on it's rail network, especially the military.

Hook a high voltage power line up to the track and the other end up to the cars and you'll fry a trains worth of wheel roller bearings...

Interesting look at the financial considerations.

Below is an article looking at stockpiles and production rates; it’s from a Russian site, but people I know with good sources say this guy is a good source:

A farewell to arms: Russia will be left almost without shells, artillery and armored vehicles by year-end

For Russia, six months of war have led not only to colossal irreplaceable losses in manpower, but also to a huge waste of weapons and military equipment: guided missiles are already very scarce, shells for artillery and armored vehicles will be exhausted by the end of the year, and the state of...

TL;DR seems to be that Russia will be HELPLESS - effectively DISARMED militarily by the end of the year…and that makes me wonder what Xi is thinking. A China-India alliance could sweep through - or bypass entirely - SE Asia, through the ‘Stans, and come up behind Erdogan; might even garrote Iran on the way past - all that oil, all those minerals, a Mediterranean port. On the horizon : Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia - maybe even Japan…depends on how bogged down & spent they think *WE* are right then, I guess.

Not saying it’s *LIKELY*, mind - just conceivable
