Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 4th, 2026 4:21 PM Author: Gay Grandpa What are the specifics. Obviously they have great precedent in the 2020 lockdowns, but what will the exact restrictions be, and what will the progression look like? |

I don’t think that’s what will happen though |

Date: April 6th, 2026 12:21 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Think about the Covid lockdowns. The first real world event for me was the Superintendent on the jobsite literally told everyone "go home." We left that day and never came back till months later. Then you had the weird restaurant shit (not fucking sure at all why "RESTAURANTS" are such a huge part of our life that this was a change in how we live but it was), the masks in the grocery stores, the lines near tents in the hospital parking lot to get your jibjab, and all the rest that we all know about. What will the EVENTS look like for these lockdowns? |

Date: April 6th, 2026 8:26 PM Author: oomox Gas rationing. Scan your ID to pump. WFH if you can, carpool if you can.
But I don't imagine they'll stop public transportation. So it'll really only be a lockdown for people who live in small towns without pubtrans. But also a lot of businesses will be closed. |
|
Date: April 6th, 2026 8:42 PM Author: Gay Grandpa What is your best known moniker? This would be a problem for people who have huge commutes that can only be done by car. |

Date: April 6th, 2026 8:57 PM Author: oomox Historical fempoaster; iirc you're not a fan.
Yep we're pretty fucked if it goes down anything like this. And I haven't even started to think about the impacts on the power grid – I know that's mostly natural gas, which we're OK on, but we don't know how all these things will interact in the context of a global energy crisis. Will they limit the hours we can use electricity?
(TBH I've been stocking up on supplies for a potential blackout for a while now anyways.) |
|
Date: April 6th, 2026 8:59 PM Author: Gay Grandpa Forgive me.
Aside from stocking up on things: what are good investments to make if you want to trade this? |
|
Date: April 6th, 2026 9:03 PM Author: oomox Absolutely no idea on that one, sorry. Too busy panicking about doomsday scenarios to think about how to capitalize on them. I swear my anxiety level has gone from 0 to 100 in the past month. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5853527&forum_id=2`#49798973) |

Date: April 6th, 2026 9:10 PM Author: oomox 100%, although I feel like most of the people around me aren't feeling it as strongly as you and I are. I actually came back here two days ago after more than two years of retirement because I needed to vent about all this stuff without bumming out all my friends and family.
My main worry is about my family, not even my day-to-day life. I'm really close with them and they're all in DC or the U.S. embassy in London, so I worry every day about something happening to them. 💔 |

|
Date: April 6th, 2026 9:13 PM Author: Richard Ames I wrote it without the help of an LLM. I was going for brevity and to make the comparison, but I can understand how that might happen. Energy and the debt bubble are my dumb faggot hobby horses. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5853527&forum_id=2`#49798995) |
|
Date: April 6th, 2026 9:15 PM Author: oomox Oh my bad, I could tell it wasn't straight-up genAI but some parts sounded LLM-assisted. The "Solution:" para especially sounds like something AI would say. Rofl at faggot hobby horses.
Can you help us out with the question of how to invest to capitalize on this? |

Date: April 6th, 2026 9:21 PM Author: Richard Ames Tbh I have done alright in some energy ETFs and I keep a bunch of cash in some offshore plays that have been in the toilet for years (RIG is one of them.) But I also have a lot in cash and still in tech and the S&P. If they actually go down the money printing path, it stands to reason that the big will get bigger again. Just like in Covid.
But I am not sure because the market feels increasingly detached from reality and has for many years.
One of the issues with oil is that it can only stay so high for so long. People talking about "permanent $200 a barrel oil" are retarded IMO because prices that high destroy demand. We are already in demand destruction territory. More likely to see it spike for a short while and then come crashing back down to Earth because the prices themselves cause a recession. Same shit happened in 2005 - 2006. An energy spike in the mid-2000s was the actual trigger for the GFC. The kindling for all the mortgage securities to be lit on fire. |

Date: April 6th, 2026 9:25 PM Author: oomox 180 tyvm for the insights
Agreed that it can't stay that high for an extended period of time... something would have to give... but that "something" could be, you know, middle class (and below) Americans' way of life... |
|
Date: April 6th, 2026 9:24 PM Author: Richard Ames Also I can see how it reads like LLM bullshit. I tried to hard to generate traction with the poast. Would've been better off writing about lunch at the strip club, all things considered. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5853527&forum_id=2`#49799015) |

Date: April 6th, 2026 9:31 PM Author: oomox Sometimes brevity and clarity can give AI vibes. To avoid sounding like AI, I make my writing very conversational and vary my sentence structure a LOT, which can hinder both of those lol.
I only didn't blank bump cuz I think the ((())) shit is gay. I literally hate Israel and Zios, like with a burning passion, and I'm an outspoken critic of them on platforms where I'm not anonymous. But I try not to degrade my message with the implication that it's a problem with Jews rather than a problem with a subset of them, the evil demonic pedo Jewish supremacist elites. |
