Catalysts: the staff of life (at least for oil refining) LOL.

A lot of Americans act like cattle🐮.

But my grandfathers did NOT act like cattle.

One studied Pharmacy and became a pharmacist because he could not go to the military- he suffered hand tendon damage when he was delivering glass items by bicycle as a child. Because of that he was unable to fire a gun properly.

My other grandfather bought houses, fixed them up, and sold them for twice the price. Again, not an idiot.

By the way, the grandfather who flipped houses during the depression acquired houses on city lots (we hail from a small town) maximum price of $600 for the whole shebang.

He used sulfur candles to kill the vermin and insects, and hand tools to do the work. (OSHA would not approve😂) of course in those days there was no OSHA! (Or EPA)…

My, how times have changed!

Another example of inflation.
