said diesel, there is a tanker coming and that should ease things, but the sad part is the way we are going where just sort of limping from one shipment to another. not sure. when the next lord of stock is going to be coming in, and this is not a centrally conducive to anything that are businesses on hold that are businesses that can get on with their work. school children are having trouble being taken into schools in all aspects of life. people are finding it difficult to go to their offices. so overall, it's really biting. and that's, that's, that's the craziness of the situation right now. i'm coming now now has a prime minister. is there any hope inside to improve economic conditions? well, he's not a miracle worker, no matter what he or any one around him claims that he is. yes, he did lay his cards out on the table after a long time. she lumpkins heard some real hard truth when he said things are going
