So will yesterday's Clownfest be his last?

Are they really going to give him an national/international platform to destroy the Republican Party? I have to imagine that he's losing another 2-3% from this week's ratings/polls based on his performances this week.

Turns out Donald Trump is the Apprentice and he will be voted off the show in November.

In yet another example of the world economy shell game coming to a hard stop amid the coronavirus pandemic, oil is incredibly cheap as demand plummets and speculators panic sell and even pay others to store it in a desperate bid to never actually possess the barrels they bought on paper.

This situation reveals both the absurdity and fragility of how the world is currently organized, but, given that during previous oil gluts traders stored oil in old tankers, it also made me wonder: Would it be worth it for a random guy like me to buy a used oil tanker and fill it with cheap oil to make a profit later? Since that idea isn't any more absurd than continuing to pump oil out of the Earth in the first place, let's take an exploratory and incomplete (possibly incompetent) dive into the economics of storing oil:


The ship
There seem to be a decent number of oil tankers for sale in the world right now, judging by the listings from Horizon Ship Brokers, which is sort of like Craigslist but for multi-million dollar industrial ships.

While most prices are available upon request, listed prices tend to run from $10 to $20 million USD, and the ships run the gamut in terms of their capacity. The ideal ship for this plan needs to hit a balance of affordability and ample capacity, given, ahem, the current uncertainties in the oil market. Yes.

I'm going to use my Trump Check to support Democratic candidates going forward.

I'm in OK shape financially...not rich, by any measure, but able to tread water over the short/medium term.

So, I decided I will set up an account to deposit this check into and use it to get more Democrats elected.

Wow, great opening on RMS!

She just leveled Miss America, the Gov. of South Dakota. Sounds like this will be the next hotspot for CV-19. No stay-at-home and Smithfield has hundreds of CV-19 cases.
