What appears to be some normal-sized machine cropped and pasted onto a skyline is actually a gigantic machinized monstrosity designed for excavation by some Germans.

Why high fuel prices are good for us..
I've found several people echoing thoughts I've had about the high fuel prices. My biggest positive is "onshoring" of jobs, where the flow of manufacturing work out of the US might be turning around. Tech jobs can still be off-shored fairly easily though.
What I really don't understand though is, why did the price hike that started after Hurricane Katrina never go down? Who decided it wouldn't?
