[quote=bearishgurl]The only “assumptions” I have made here is that the US far northern, mountainous and coastal residents will continue to need (and purchase) the food and gas which is grown and produced in the nation’s midsection. And long-haul trucking companies and the railroads will continue to carry it all to its destinations.[/quote] The central sections are not the oil producers you think they are. The Dakotas are north(newest oil boom), Alaska is way north. Have you ever seen vegetables grown in Alaska? Creepy until you realize that during the summer, they have 20 hours of sunlight.
