I'm a damaged freight inspector for a national company, and our business has fallen WAY off. With trucks idle, fuel prices through the roof ($4.69 here locally), material is sitting in warehouses or on docks, and very little is moving.. I've been doing these inspections for 15 years, and this has been the slowest year ever. (It's sure put a dent in my range time and ammo inventory......)
Last October 14, it was
announced that the US only had 25 days of diesel fuel left to run the US economy.
Tucker Carlson has released a video discussing this matter.
I don't have a link.
Pretty serious stuff.

I'm starting to see a lot of stories of a feared Diesel shortage in the eastern states US diesel supplier warns businesses to prepare for shortages, higher prices for consumers
The internet "appeared" in the civilian world in 1969......when it began to be released outside of the military and some government agencies. As a Navy cryptologist in the mid-60's, I operated over dedicated military satellite networks, that minus the volume of graphics and format options were not unlike AOL of the 80's.Welcome to the age of readily available information and evidence.
The internet was created in 1969 but only functioned on LAN systems, or nodes. The WWW was "born" 40 years ago when TCP/IP protocols went live on January 1, 1983. Over half your lifetime ago. As a matter of fact it was the same year oil futures first started trading on the daily commodity markets.
Not my fault you're too poor, too ignorant, and too lazy to operate the very technology your generation invented.

I am the Director of Safety and Compliance of a trucking company. We have 200 trucks. On any given day we normally have some 650 loads booked. For a while now, the number has been closer to 600. For the past 3 weeks or so, the number is hovering around 400 loads. I have been with my company since 2009.

I think he's referring to this thread/posts:So you're going to claim that you taught us all what point shooting is?
You, rerun, are the SOLE reason HPFF knows about the Israeli method?
You're going to deny credit to Martin Kane who wrote Shooting by Instinct way back in 1958 for SI magazine? FYI, I read that article.... on the internet...
The Lever Action as a Fighting Rifle
Instinctive shooting has been taught by the US military beginning in WW II and carried through Vietnam. And, probably by Special Forces through today. It is a valuable technique. Instinctive shooting was never taught to me as a Marine in the 1970’s and 80’s. It was all about aimed fire and...

I know what he's talking about, but he's still full of shit. Notice how that was also part of his famous everybody used the field expedient blanket suppressor bullshit?
Also note I was one of the people saying point/instinctive shooting is a common thing taught forever and a day ago?
He's just full of shit through and through and he's so ignorant that even when directly contradictory facts and historical evidence to the contrary are placed in front of him, all he says is that the internet was doctored and he has the real truth stored on an old cellphone somewhere...

Yes, but he is using a conversation about instinctive shooting, which 99.999% of us already knew existed and several military and LEO veterans have trained/practiced it while in uniform, as an example of a little known fact that he presented to the forum in an effort to justify blanket suppressors, George Bush hating oil prices, and Class 1 hard-drawn steel wire that will stay under tension and not rust away to nothing for hundreds of years.IMS, it was Al saying that it wasn't taught at all.

Hey Kirk. Rerun over there has called you out as a representative of the many members here that take his unsubstantiated claims at face value and believes whatever he says. Can you verify for everyone that this is a true statement?I think he's referring to this thread/posts:
I am only verifying things which I know to be fact and things which I know to have happened. In the referenced case, I verify that RR claimed, without referencing any online proof that Point Shooting was taught as a standard in the U.S. military. I verify that there was some doubt expressed by some members of HPFF that Point/Instinctive Shooting / Unaimed Shooting was ever taught by branches of the U.S. military. I verify that it was, in fact, taught. I verify that for some short period of time (less than 20 years and probably less than 10) Instinctive Shooting was taught as a standard course at Ft. Polk (and maybe at Ft. Bragg) to U.S. soldiers and to some Vietnamese fighters. That it was taught in the Quick Kill method which involved shouldering the rifle and "sighting" down the length of the barrel while focusing on the target sort of like using a reflex sight or a shotgun. I verify that there were multiple references and at least two official documents teaching the various Point Shooting methods. I verify that Daisy was supplying training BB guns to the Army and that Daisy adopted and marketed the Army's Quick Kill method, rebranding it as the Quick Skill method and published their own booklet which they apparently included with their no-sights BB gun to the consumer market. I verify that, on more than one occasion in said thread, Rach agreed that some form of Point Shooting was indeed taught, though he specified that it was mostly for close quarters, urban, environs and was mostly hip-shooting, and that he specifically referenced Applegate's "Kill or Get Killed" and that he (at the very minimum) strongly implied that some forms of Instinctive Shooting are still being taught even to this day (which I believe to be accurate). I verify that Rach also quite specifically wrote that Instinctive Shooting is not a primary form of shooting taught and that it wasn't "drilled into [his] head" the way other skills were, particularly shooting skills (remember, "Every Marine is a Rifleman" and they take that concept seriously). I verify that I posted links to the Army's Quick Kill document, and quotes, that I posted images of the training method and photos of U.S. soldiers training Quick Kill Instinctive Shooting training at Ft. Polk.Hey Kirk. Rerun over there has called you out as a representative of the many members here that take his unsubstantiated claims at face value and believes whatever he says.

All this I verify. Nothing more.
In short, RR said that he posted what some said was an unsubstantiated claim that the U.S. military taught Instinctive Shooting and that I substantiated it for him. This is mostly true with the addendum that Rach also agreed.

Describe "not as good." I've been told that it was able to generate minute-of-man hits much faster than using sights. This means slightly less accuracy than sighted shooting but faster "combat hits."

only my great grand uncle told another WW II veteran.

If, as you've shown with the photo of a blanket wrapped around the stock of the rifle, you'll never get thr suppressor effect.
The projectile is fired through the woven fibre of the blanket.

Pheasant hunting one year, bird got up right under my feet and I instinctively snapped the shotgun up from the hip and let it have it... that bird got used for taco meat... was a wee bit shredded after a load of #6 from 20 feet...it was so bad Misty wouldn't retrieve it... she gave me a WTF is this mess look LOLI know what he's talking about, but he's still full of shit.

Pretty much. If I was in CQB, it would have been useful, but for shooting a rat leaning out from under a feed bunk, not so much.Describe "not as good."

Then again, I didn't practice as much as was necessary to get really good at the technique.
Further proof your memories are fucked. I posted no such picture.I never said 'everybody used it',
