The One-Minute Meeting

Nineteen Republican-led states won a temporary stay to keep Title 42 from ending tomorrow. That does not mean the Trump-era pandemic-related rule that allowed the U.S. government to quickly expel asylum seekers without giving them a hearing will stay in place long-term. Thousands of migrants arrive in border towns daily, overwhelming shelters and support systems. The Biden administration is scrambling to send support to border cities like El Paso, which declared a state of emergency over the situation. ([link removed])

Diesel fuel powers farms, trains, construction sites, buses and trucks, and diesel fuel is still a buck and a half more expensive than gasoline. I will explain how the U.S. Department of Energy does not foresee diesel prices falling much until at least summer 2023, if then. And the cold snap racing across the country will put more pressure on diesel prices since fuel oil is similar to diesel fuel by content. But supplies are growing and there are no longer concerns about running short, if you can afford the price.

Diesel thefts are up too. I will give you examples of thieves who installed devices inside pumps to fool the pumps into falsely reading how much they were pumping. Other thieves stole hundreds of gallons of fuel, and one guy tapped into a farmer’s diesel tank. When prices are this high, it’s just too tempting for the bad guys.

There is a record shortage of veterinarians who treat big animals, such as livestock. About 500 counties in 49 states report a shortage. There was a shortage before the pandemic, but the problem worsened when the large-animal doctors changed their practices to smaller pets because that side of the business had become more profitable.
