I hope thats motor oil, like lubricant.  That's when you know its bad.  This is something!  Gas is, as you may guess, starting to become hard to come by.  So much so, it is on the radio and it's turned into a game.  People are calling in to talk about where the gas still is and where people can go if they need to.

So I got the thinking.  Downtown there is a concert, Live on the Levee, it's going on as planned.  That's going to drain the power, and its shutting down eads bridge, aptly renamed eats bridge for the concert.  So transportation flow takes a hit for "economic gain."  Its a contractual agreement that they go on with the restaurants.  I wonder what kind of financial hardships that could arise from insurance being hit for a lot of cancelled events due to lack of "ingredients?"  What do you think?

Hello Tate423,

Not sure if I understand your question: "I wonder what kind of financial hardships that could arise from insurance being hit for a lot of cancelled events due to lack of "ingredients?"

My guess is a lot of future events will never get off the ground because people won't be able to afford to travel to them, much less spend money on the food and trinkets, excluding local neighborhood 'potluck' parties.

The ins cos. that refused to write hurricane and flood coverage along the East Coast are so far looking profitably vindicated [these cos. could care less if your uninsured property got flooded].  Tropical Storm Beryl could have spun up further into real bad news, and the season is still young.
