Despite the slump, broader economic indicators suggest some stability: the Federal Reserve noted a bounce back in factory production in Q2 2024, and the Commerce Department highlighted increased goods spending, boosted by motor vehicle sales. However, manufacturers are still facing higher input costs and slower supplier deliveries, reflecting ongoing challenges in the sector.

Additionally, rising freight rates contributing to higher input costs and slower supplier deliveries add further strain. How this sector adapts – managing costs while addressing employment challenges – will be crucial for its future trajectory, influencing broader economic strategies and policies.

Of course not, it’s President Trump’s fault, right?

Maybe you'd better stay in the US then. It's almost $4.00 per gallon in Banana Boat Land.

It continues to be weird in my AO.....It's been jumping between $3.23 and $3.59 for months now.

One day it went up .20 cents a gallon and was back down by .23 cents a couple of days later.

I'm hearing that the corporate stations are going to real-time pricing so maybe that's what it is.

I can afford it either way, but there I will not be driving as much. Hell may not even own a car our first year.

What else do you have?
