Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

crazy isn't it!
My partner and I decided to use the money on the services of a private midwife, so that we could give our daughter the kind of introduction to the world that resembles something 'natural' at home.
It was expensive and consumed most of the so called 'bonus', but was thoroughly worth it. We managed to avoid the factory hospitals and the c-section obstetricians.
Apparently, a lot of people waste the bonus on widescreen plasma televisions and things like that, or so I've heard...

The Turbo Tax people sent out an email explaining in short that TT users will be getting paper checks sometime between late May and July.
Whatevah.
