Short run low volume printing still has a decent market. It’s the long run high volume jobs that are few and far between. Our plant is designed to run jobs like the TV Guide, The Donnelly Directory, Readers Digest, NYTs, Avon, etc. We ran anywhere from a few hundred thousand to a few million impressions per job. We have 7 double web offset presses and 7 double web Gravure presses, and two times as many binding lines. 

These aren’t short run or low volume, they’re printing packaging and they’re booming.  They’re running state of the art high speed Heidelberg’s and KBA’s.  Like everywhere else, the lack of qualified employees is hamstringing them.

If you ever need any rotationally molded plastic pallets, hit me up.  Don’t worry, that’s the last sales pitch I’ll make. 😇

A few years too late. We will probably have plenty of used ones for sale soon. I was amazed how many different types of pallets there are when I first started here. It seems like every customer required a different type and it was a PITA programming robots/APLs for the different types.

That’s one of the difficulties in selling them. They often last 20+ years. Sticker shock is another difficulty. :lol:

Gas went up quickly around me to about $3/gallon

Prices up $.30 in a week, outside of DC

I haven't been able to read it fully but did we have month over month deflation in December?

Yes, CPI was -0.1% month over month. +6.5% y-o-y. 

It was +0.3% m-o-m ex-food and energy and +5.7% y-o-y. 

The drop in gas prices is why overall was negative but core was slightly positive.

Insurance doesnt have anything to do it with. 

2 of 3 targets near/around philly are closing because of pure loss of product(not insurance) Most of these bigger places are self insured, and wont put a claim in and just pay out anyways

But to answer your question. yes when stores leave out of these inner cities it will be deemed racist. Again, it's already happened to starbucks for leaving philly. 

Wawa is doing the same 

Just my observation from work.  Walgreen's having the same problem.  Vandalized electrical in closed stores. Currently working on 4. Two in Louisville KY, 1 in SC and 1 in Jackson MS. I posted a pic somewhere earlier of one we did in Kensington. I see it as criminal rather than racism. 

Gas prices slight decline did nothing to affect heating oil (which it never does but sometimes it follows).  Ordered a tank full today @ $3.999.  Thanks Joe! 😄

Weird because around me the heating oil prices have dropped below gas prices. Gas is still 3.69 and heating oil is went from 5 bucks a gallon to 3.50.

Witty retort. If only we could understand what was rolling around in the skull of yours.
