David Rosenberg predicts U.S. has a 85 percent chance to head into recession in 2024. Is it that time again ?

the past 3 years, we have been in a recession.

Exactly. ^^^^

That will time perfectly for the democrat ass wipes to blame President Trump.

We better send Zelensky another $60 Billion then.

Roll’n Light Depression

The Real Depression for most ain’t far Off

The Looting by the District of Corruption is a Leading Indicator..

Printing $6 T “new dollars ” has consequences

My thoughts,"If" a Republican can get in,gift him a Schitty economy

More like a depression

Really lol the Biden Administration says the economy is booming.

If this ain’t a recession, I’m scared of what’s coming.

LOL...

HARD COMMODITIES... PHYSICALLY HELD.

Well see

Saw it on the TV. Prices rose by less percentage than previously. Bidenomics is working.

No way.

Not around here. My BIL owns a restaurant and he's posting record profits

That is the plan. They know they cant beat him this time, even with cheating. So they have this bitch rigged to try and destroy him when he takes over

That is a tiny sample. The US economy is a sham. Trillion now in credit card debt. Many people defaulting on car and home loans. Inflation is bad with needed items like food and fuel. They are keeping this under wraps as long as they can just to unleash hell once Trump wins. They can then blame him for all of this and sadly the dumbfu cks in this country will believe it

Without a doubt... the Socialists are laying landminds at breakneck speed.

The vast majority of americans are far too stupid to see it.

A recession in 2024 is inevitable, but it will be met with massive rate cuts which they have to give.

We have been on a good run the last decade. Can’t last forever.

That's because groceries are so high and the price difference between cooking at home and going out are becoming negligible, might as well not have dishes to clean while at it. As long as food and service is good at a halfway affordable price any restaurant should be killing it right now. Folks are still in the I wanna get out of the house mode after 2 years of lockdown. Then take in consideration credit card debt is at a all time high. But at some point, folks are gonna run out of money and credit.

Agreed. The Hershey area is insulated from the economy. Things are still booming here

Credit card debt is high because the majority of the population has zero financial literacy. In other words, people are morons when it comes to money.

The commercial real estate sector is a big trouble right now. We will see what the fallout of that is.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/investors-drop-recession-bets-first-071658876.html

The massive influx to this area is keeping the local economy pretty strong. When the real estate up north crashes due to no one wanting their existing homes, it will finally catch up with us. Our rural land is being raped due to the demand. A bit of a cool down would be nice.

We are losing restaurants left and right.
Pretty much every non-franchised one has closed.
Older, nice places, owned by the same families for 40+ years. Only thing left is fast food, snooty expensive places, and Denny’s.

profits or income. I could easily see income. Profits I would find very hard to believe.

Odd that's reversed here. Most all the Burger Kings closed recently in the area.

With so many people "working" from home, I'd except that rental space in those big office complexes would be in low demand, but there is a section of former farm ground that Boys Town owned here in suburban Omaha where multiple large apartment complexes and large office complexes are currently under construction. When somebody comes up with a software package that can accurately track remote employee productivity, I think that the majority of those big "work in the office" buildings will go the way of the dinosaur.

You may very well be right with the massive rate cuts. I think, if Donald Trump is sworn in, one of the things he will do is make changes that bring manufacturing back home. The past 3 years it has left at a break neck speed. In my lifetime I've never seen a democrat encourage MADE IN THE USA.

It’s a combination of working from home and high interest rates. Commercial loans need redone every 5 or so years so a pile of loans will be redone at 9-11% interest. Regional banks are into commercial real estate like 40% so you will see a lot more bank failures as the commercial real estate collapse accelerates.

Is that post made in jest?

Same in this area. Many small businesses have folded recently

Not sure if this fits here, but every once in a while I get on Capitol ones Auto Navigator and browse cars. There is no credit impact. Anyways I notice right off that the lowest interest rate is 20% up to 24.99%. My score is the same it has ever been, and the last time I looked on here the rates were 4-7%, probably two years ago.

Is the working from home thing still that big? I do know a few people still working from home, but many I know have went back to work. Im speaking on a localized term, so curious if there is still many working from home all around the country

WOW! Who in there right mind would buy anything at that rate? That would make even a $10k car payment too much for alot of folks

6-7% for auto loans right now if you have good credit. Some manufacturers are offering lower rates.

They soften the payment by extending the loans. That 10k car payment is still 350/m, just for 4 years instead of 3.

It's an election year, so expect soft economic policies, such as rate cuts and government injections of capital, designed to keep the incumbent in office.

My CU offers 7.7% on a 9 year old car - a 10k loan over 3 years is about 300 a month. Or about 1/2 a week's pay at fast food wages.

The 3 B's.

Crazy. PSECU is offering a 10 year car loan now I saw. I could not imagine taking that loan out!

Same/same 75 miles north of you here in the New River Valley

We sold 13acres of basically billygoat land last year for $15k per.

It's fuggin crazy!

Holy CHIT!

Wife and I bought a little 3 acre plot that borders our land for $2500 total a couple years ago. Very happy with that purchase at the current prices

You mean like a load of white Pine? Kidding aside, if you look at the 2 10 fred spread, it shows how the 10 yr. is lower than the 2 yr. and that is backwards. Now it is almost even and when the 10 goes up to more than the 2 yr. there is a recession in a year or so.. It was more inverted this year than sine 1980,, and most remember what happened in 1980.. It happens every time.. We are not in a recession yet.. However, I have been a carpenter in the Milwaukee area for 42 yrs. and I can clearly see it coming. We are already kind of slow. The market seems to be doing really well, it didnt go up much the 1st 2 yrs. of Biden but now its up 25% in 3 yrs. However , it is only a few stocks that went up 80% in a yr. This morning the CPI ( inflation index) came in higher than expected and now the dow is down 300 points premarket, and the nasdaq is getting a pretty good kick. Higher CPI means rates will not come down for longer. The dow is down .8 , S&P is down 1.25% and nasdaq is down 1.75% at the open.

There is 5 acres of rattlesnake prairie just outside town for 65k here. It is half price compared to anything else. 100k might get 2 acres most places.

The WFH trend is petering out. Companies are discovering (re-discovering, really, because this was all studied pretty thoroughly in the ‘80’s) that remote workers aren’t “engaged” with their work. They aren’t able to collaborate as well, groups are less creative, and turnover increases. Many employees feel socially isolated and don’t feel they belong.

The only reason companies aren’t ordering everyone back to the office is that they can’t: a fair portion of the remote workers they hired either can’t, or won’t move so they could work in person. The trend is toward in-office work, because it’s more productive and creates better morale and culture in the long term.

Interesting and thank you for the answer

I don't know but he's busier than maybe he's ever been. But the Hershey area is affluent and it takes longer until we feel the effects here.

I guess I better sell again...

Here on the far left coast, just little harbingers or hints of worse to come. New car sales in the tank, and surprisingly used car sales are a fraction of what they were just two years ago. Construction loan applications are way down. Rural small parcels of land, less than 20 acres, are not selling. One of my renters is a journeyman carpenter, his employer was booked solid a year ago, over half the scheduled big jobs went away, they are down to remodels now to keep his men busy...they hate remodel work. Nearby UPS hub has laid off 20% of their low seniority workers. For the first time in years, no overtime at the sawmill.
Regardless of the big picture factors in the Wall St. economy, these little things reflect a lack of consumer confidence out here in the weeds...and trust me, having experienced the Carter years, that's all that's needed to create recession.

That's how it is up at my hunting camp. I decided I wanted to move to my Camp so I applied for a drywall/painting job at a factory built housing plant in Muncy. 665 people applied for that one job. Even though I've done drywall/ painting all my life I couldn't even get an interview. It was then that I realized I can't move up to Camp. The economy there is too poor

That 5 acres of rattlesnake prairie is 56500. I have actually been eyeballing it.

I realize employment is a lagging indicator, but it’s still impossible to hire someone where we farm, even at $18 an hour plus benefits. And if we could find someone, there’s no housing available. Last time I looked, there’s four rentals listed in the county, and they are not habitable by modern standards.

OMG. Sell sell sell! Btw. This is the same idiot who claimed there was a 99% chance of recession in 2012, and he claimed there was a 75% chance in 2022, so what happened? The simple fact of the matter is economy’s dont come out of a major recession and go back into another recession 1-2 years later. Too many “economists” spend too much time reading graphs and trying to predict recessions via yield curves. Well guess what, you can’t! If you can predict human behavior then and ONLY then can you predict a recession. Btw. Current car rates via my Credit Union are 5.49% and home mortgages are running 6.8%. Oh ya, I just tried to make reservations for the wife and I for date night on Fri and the only thing available is before 5pm or after 8pm. There is nothing available on Saturday until 8:30 and only in the bar. Yup, the economy is tanking. Sell sell sell boys.

🥴

I agree. Everyone should sell, and buy puts with the funds.

If I believed the worst that's headed our way was recession, I'd be on my my knees giving thanks. But, I still have no crystal ball and have adopted the habit of making no predictions.

As far as the work-from-home thing goes, it may recede for reasons cited...BUT, I can say definitively that some jobs that can be done from home are easily tracked for production. My wife sits in her office directly across the hall from me this very moment engaged in her own WFH position, and believe me, her employer knows what she's doing. A 10-hour day is not unusual for her.

I have no idea but with markets at all time highs, tons of Chinese money flooding in, and a government printing massive amounts of money it's hard to see through all the smoke.

david rosenberg is about 3 years too late

Jeezuz. I can’t get a reservation anywhere for our typical date night spots. At this rate, we may have to stay in town. Must be a recession.

McDonald's does not take reservations, dumbfuq.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So you are known[azzhole leftist] beyond the campfire apparently.

nope, just commenting on my neck of the woods and what we are seeing

You any good? Fast and good?
Son in law and his Pap are looking for help.

We don’t need anymore imports, but I think you are better than our average Baltimoron.

Yeah my wife works from home for the Federal Government. They track whether her computer is idle for any length of time plus she has hourly quotas to meet

Yup. But the speed isn't what it once was

that because the dollar general only has one poor sap working per shift... try the self checkout

Touché. At this rate, that may have to be the backup. God knows I won’t wait in the ridiculous lines that are Chick-Fillet or In-N-Out. Must be a recession.

Hey, look at that. Ruth’s Chris has availability. But there’s a reason for that.

Oh, but they do - but you have to book a kid's birthday party.

A positive note for you is the drag queen strip shows for children industry is booming

And why would you know that?

Jetboi I read the fed is gonna drop rates

Yep 7 times this year. Lol


See the market today???

More run away inflation and half of Americans living pay check to paycheck working 2 to 3 jobs while millions of illegal aliens get thousands a month and free housing

Jetboi said they wouldn’t drop rates

On the work from home subject my wife is a dept director overseeing 50+ people. She says productivity is a lot higher, quality of work is higher, and people are more engaged, and happier working from home. She has seen less turnover in jobs also. She says there are the "old school" people who just want to see their people sitting at a desk in person and those that want to "socialize" at work so they claim WFH isn't viable. She said it works great for her and her employees.

Well, at least Mac Donalds comes with a toy,, sometimes.

Headed toward?

[bleep]. Don't know where some of ya'll have been.

Food/Grocery prices have skyrocketed.

Gas price is up.

Electric bill is up.

Interest is up.

Credit card debt is way WAY up.

House and car market is down

Grandma is going without her medicine so she doesn't starve and freeze and has emptied her retirement savings.

Yes, they have set up the next president to fail because they can't possibly keep it artificially low forever before the bubble pops. This time around will make the 1930's look like amateur day. Just wait until all of those who have had a lifetime of ease no longer gets their monthly checks and have no skills or no work experience. All those illegals will swoop in and take all of the low paying jobs and there will be lots of pain.

Which is also by design so the shadow government can crash and kill the dollar and go with a global digital buck. or as some like to call it, the mark of the beast.

When did I say that? Most economists say 7 rate cuts, but my guess is more like 3-4. Wage growth is now outpacing inflation, inflation is almost under 3%, job growth still looks fantastic, and like I said, restaurants are packed. I remember going to a restaurant in April 2020 and there were only a handful of people in the entire restaurant. Now it’s tough to get reservations.

Just cast your vote for Biden and STFU, you fugking commie moron.

Still living rent free in that tiny brain of yours. I love it.

GFY ass-wipe

Really???
Using April 2020 as a reference point/benchmark for restaurant business?
YGTBFK

Inflation 'almost' under 3%
That's compounded on 3 years of massive inflation[do you comprehend this?]

Jetboi is a expurt economist

Told me that it sounded like I needed to hire someone to help with my job after I explained what all is involved in owning/running my own business.

He has zero clue, just as most other leftists.

You ignorant Coffee Badger chkunt. Nobody wants you or your fugkin money stinking up their place.

Consumers are spending like crazy and credit card debt is at an all time high--- hmmm coincidence for sure

Yes he’s a dumfuk 🤡

Well my wife hires people for the things you were complaining about. Just saying.

It wasn't a 'complaint', more of I may have a better grip on 'economics' than someone that doesn't live it daily.
YMMV

Yep. Sure do. I also understand why the jump in inflation occured (hint. It wasn’t government hand outs) and I also understand what it means when wages outpace inflation (hint. Better buying power).

My guess is all those folks complaining are the have nots, and not the haves. If you aren’t doing well in this economy, it’s nobody’s fault except your own.

Again, clueless.........

Oh I live it daily. I also see the massive amounts of money being made, and refuse to be a sheep and not be involved. Get out there and get it done, the economy is doing very well right now. If it weren’t, I wouldn’t be forced to wait 6-8 months for my gunsmith to start taking work again because he’s so busy.

Where did anyone state that I wasn't?

What you fail to see[admit] is that this economy is nothing more than a paper tiger economy.

A [i]"we'll keep printing it if you'll keep spending it" economy based on nothing more.

But keep going off of those '.gov figures' they spoon feed ya, everything is all rosie[until the moment it isn't].

Today's inflation number (3.1% y/y, 0.3% montly) doesn't strike me as particularly onerous.

What makes me go "hmmmm" is that 3/4's of that increase comes from the cost of housing (rents and ownership costs). Now, why would housing costs continue to spike at this sustained elevated rate?

We're building apartments at a record pace, so the supply is way up. But we're still 2 million housing units short in the market.

Is it a coincidence that 2 million housing units divided by 365 days a year...... is a little bit over 5,000? Where have I heard this number before, it seems like I heard it a lot, lately?

Well, you can usually tell right away because they are the people b!tching about it. And please, read a history book and stop with the paper tiger economy only doing what it’s doing because the government is printing money BS. That’s the same boring argument used when Obama was in office. One thing about most Republicans, they are so incredibly gullible, and even easier to predict. When the fact gets pointed out to them that the economy does better under Democrats, and that every single Republican President over the last 100 years have presided over a recession, it’s the same old answer. It amazes me that they never ask themselves, why are all of the poorest states red and the richest states blue? Why does the economy always do better under Democrats? They just keep shoving their heads in the sand and can’t figure out why the world keeps passing them by.

https://evonomics.com/economists-agree-democratic-presidents-better-making-us-rich-eight-reasons/

The first sentence in the link speaks volumes.

Done here

Bonds are saying we are in for an epic butt fugging.

I have her dumb troll ass on ignore. Not worth the time honestly

What does Jetboi do for a living?

Probably fail to open Nosler boxes.

In blue pants.

With lipstick on.

Your wife hires people to do what you don't?

You commie pos coffees badger chkunt.

Just die, mfer. Nobody wants your twat here.

Jetboi said he pays his wife or boi frind can’t remember which peenuts

🤣🤣. Let’s revisit the post in about a year, and let’s see what the economy is doing! If I’m correct, you agree that you’re the dumbfuk and leave 24hourcampfire. If we are in a recession, I’ll agree that I am and I’ll leave. Fair enough?

I don’t bargain with dumfuks give ur boi frind a raise u tight fuqk

3% inflation?
Again, you prove you're a clueless liberal chkunt. You are currently financially insulated from what 60% of Americans are experiencing. When the grocery stores go bare, we'll see what your chkunt liberal fat mouth has to say. You useless twat.

No need to leave, keep exposing yourself. Somebody will slap your face onto the other side of your head soon enough, you liberal internet pussy.

I seem to remember that last time grocery stores went bare Trump was in office? Do remember things differently, if at all?

So you’re a coward! I’ve given you the opportunity to watch me sail off into the sunset because I’m such a dumfuk, and obviously I’m wrong, but you won’t take me up on it? You could easily claim your victory lap and talk all the smack you want when I’m gone, but you won’t? Yep, typical blowhard coward. All bark and no bite.

Not understanding the difference between inflation's effects and supply chain disruption is so fucking stupid that it's almost cute, darlin.

You don't know schit you proved it with your 3% inflation garbage, you internet pussy.

A steak that cost $5-6-7 3 years ago is now $21. You liberal twats find a way to susplain every failure.

Supply chain disruption and lack of product IS what caused inflation. That and the over 2 million bpd cut in US oil production that occurred under Trump.

What an ignorant internet chkunt you are. Stupid mf'er.

Well, you’re wrong again. Play with the chart, you might learn something. Oh who am I kidding. Facts don’t matter to you.

https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/beef

LOL🤣😂😂😂😂

No recession in 2024 and economy has been ok for me over last couple years

The one thing I can share of an indicator to the shape of the economy, my landlord has had wine grapes and the profit margin is almost zero. Getting paid prices of 20 years ago. About $450-500 a ton. I spoke with a fertilizer salesman and he said the only farmers making money was the rice growers. Maybe some ranchers could chime in and give us some input. Housing prices have softened in my area and rents are coming down a little. 40 years ago you based a persons ability to pay rent was a weeks wages for a months rent. Those days been gone for 20 years. Some states will vary. Most you folks are sharper than me so I am just getting input from others observations. Cheers ! Alan

The other day I paid $5 for a small container of squeeze Miracle Whip and $7.50 for a large box of cheese it’s. Inflation is 3% my ass

I guess were are lucky as the doom and gloom end of the world inflation hasn't really hit us. Been hearing all kinds of bullchit on here and everywhere else for the last 3-4 years and still waiting for the dollar to collapse.

Could it happen, sure, anything could happen but I'm sorta done worrying about it.


As for that expensive beef. Guess what, there's actually a bit of a real reason why it costs more now.

https://www.drovers.com/news/beef-production/us-cattle-inventory-reaches-73-year-low

That's some stupid shit, right there. I have to suspect that's the only stuff that rolls off your tongue and fingertips.

Does mommy know what a little commiefuck punk her little boy is?

Fixed it Sam.

The Yankee dollar is the best of the lot.

That's not consumer prices, dumbshit.

My, my, my...doesn't know the difference between the effects of supply chain disruption and inflation and also doesn't know the difference between the prices consumers pay for beef and what ranchers are getting for it.

Stupid little commiefuck.

Stick around. It's too much fun kicking your teeth down that cumguzzlin throat of yours.

Ed, I know you're in it for the long haul. We are small $ but I think as long you're diversified in what you have as assets that's about all a guy can do.

I actually think that graph/chart is some sort of consumer price indicator.


The fed and feeder cattle markets(what ranchers watch) is listed below.

You stupid chkunt. What is being ignored by all these penis-headed tv liberals like you, Mr. Coffee Badger, is the year over year inflation. They are trying to push the focus to month by month, instead of what has happened overall with that carcass in the White House. It's not just beef, you stupid liberal chkunt. It's EVERYTHING.

Whatever it's tracking, click on the 5-year button to get an accurate and meaningful picture.

Jetboi is pissed LOL

I just put these .gov plants/bots on ignore.

I wonder what her pronouns are...wait, I can guess: dumbshit and commiekunt

All we need is a legit market crushing recession and this little bit of consumer inflation won't seem like much at all.

Sam, It's my belief that a dollar collapse would take time. But, BRICS and other stimuli could usher it along more swiftly. Personally, I'm not looking forward to any US dollar collapse, as I'm currently heavily invested in US treasuries as a temporary place to hold chunks of cash coming in from the sale of some rental real estate I've held for many years whose value is currently at the top of the market.

I am an American first, and don't wish for any harm to my country or countrymen, physically or economically. My own sister is liberal and has no clue. She, like a lot of people in their 60's who have had good income over their lifetime, whether liberal or conservative, are currently financially insulated. However, in my contact with both liberals and conservatives, I have found that conservatives typically have a better overall plan for dealing with emergencies. As CashisKing likes to say, Hard goods personally held. 😛 (One aspect).
Like myself, many of my conservative friends have much better stocks of goods for emergencies and SHTF. Most conservatives I know do not lead lavish lifestyles. Typically, they also have hedged against what most liberals consider unthinkable. Most liberals I know have made zero preparations. ( Ever met a liberal who owns a 25 or 50 lb sack of flour, rice or sugar? Or 1000 rds of ammunition?) Questions why they haven't made those types of preparations are typically met with bad tempers. My gut feeling is they believe that the gubmint will always be there to take care of them. If you haven't read any behind closed doors comments Obama recently made about that, you would be shocked.

Hopefully, when Trump returns to the White House, Americans will enjoy a safer future, physically and economically. I sure would like to see the return of a $6-7 ribeye. Lol.

Rant over. 🙃

Dirt, we don't disagree, I get you man!


But about those $6 steaks.......lol

This. NO freaking way no how.

Only way is if a ton of real increases are offset by TV prices coming down.

Haha. Yeah. Probably never happen with those $6 steaks.

As my Dad used to say, Wish in one hand and spit in the other. See which one fills up faster. Lol.

Real money should be worth at least 10%. Broke dicks in debt up to their eyeballs shouldn't be rewarded with low interest rates. I paid 16% interest on my first house loan. I'd like to see these rates again at my local bank.

Economists used to talk a lot about the “natural interest rate”, i.e. the interest rate that would prevail if the government would keep their cotton picking fingers out of the economy.

The consensus is that it’s a real (net of inflation) rate of less than 5% in modern times. Usually less than 3.

It’s proof of the literal sea of money out there looking to be put to work, but finding nothing but cheap returns on bonds and mortgage based securities.

Spot on Sam.

All 30k of it lol

Totally agree with this. I know so many people that aren't going to skip that trip to Vegas or Disney Land no matter how much it cost...Or, won't skip buying the latest and greatest cell phone or paying hundreds for the kids on Christmas to make sure there is a big pile under the tree......

Just put it on a card and pay it off later...Then later never comes. My wife and most of her family and a lot of friends we have are like this. Took a long time to break her of the credit card addiction BS.

Fugg! Not this chit again?


Remember all you hillbillies predictions?


$10 gas

NWO

Food Shortages

WWIII

LOL!

You forgot Manchurian candidateS and Kenyans and Traitors in the White House. Oh, nevermind.

Cool...

I love Brahms, Beethoven and Bach

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Bs

local dirt,

You hit a key point in those who are insulated.

Personally, we have decent income and 0 debt.
We buy groceries and bitch about numbers. But we buy what we want, and leave
with some money still in our wallet. It's very easy to spend 1/3to 1/2 my paycheck
on a big grocery trip.

We see inflation.



Folks less well off, are picking and choosing. Out of need.
Putting stuff back on shelves. Leaving with less than they want, and no money left over. Spending half a paycheck, and it's not a big, stocking up, order.

They feel inflation.





Those who are well off?
Maybe they see it.
Maybe they give it a thought.

Inflation doesn't matter.



I think something is wrong with economic reports.
Very few in manufacturing tell me they are real busy.
In my sphere, we should lay off about 20% of our workers.
I firmly believe they are keeping them due to the impossibility of hiring.
We are involved in a certain infrastructure item. It has been very short in supply,
since before covid. That business was booming, but it has suddenly slowed considerably. While the shortage continues?


REI laid off a substantial number of employees at their distribution center here.
What wasn't disclosed was the total jobs cut, because a huge part of their staff
has been "permanent" Temps.

There also is some weird thing going on in hiring.
I know we have struggled, for a fact.
But I've seen what I think are decent prospects apply to a couple places "Begging" for
workers. And they never hear a peep. Odd. A place running full page ads weekly,
offering the moon, from laborers up. Doesn't respond, at all?

GFY

Your observations are supported by data.

Employers are VERY reluctant to let anyone go because they have been traumatized by the difficulties filling spots over the past few years. They figure the cost of keeping excess employees is lower than the cost of hiring. Wages are still climbing, and new hires often come in at market rates. Old timers are often under market.

Employers are also continuing to advertise for employees, attempting to collect resumes just in case they decide they need employees again. They are testing out what they need to offer in compensation to attract applicants as well. This is sometimes referred to as “ghost positions”: open, advertised positions that are not being filled.

Sam, the dollar is going to collapse. There is no way around it. You guys have to understand that 34 trillion dollars in debt is not sustainable right? The dollar is dying, the country is dying. Food and fuel prices are bad, not quite sure how you arent seeing that.

The rubber band snapped here about the second week of January. We couldn't get anyone to apply and since then we've had good candidates coming through the door 2-3 days/week. Most have been laid off somewhere else, some are from moving, very few have been sitting on sidelines.

Tells me that overall market is getting crunched a bit. How much, we'll see. I do know we have some good candidates coming on board and we can finally fire the non-productive ones we've been reluctant to let go.

We need a bankruptcy professional in the Whitehouse. The only way to keep the peace is to keep printing money and giving it to the deadbeats and freeloaders.

They will use this tactic to "justify" hiring all these illegal aliens being imported. "We can`t find no one willing to work, look how long we have advertised"...Both parties are selling this country and the working class out wholesale.

What kinds of food do you buy? Tbones and prime rib?

I was just south for a bit. Grocery prices were 1/2 compared to what I pay in AK. I was actually surprised how low they were considering all the doom and gloom I had been hearing.

The fuggers do this every time they get stuck with inventory.


They scream about a collapse, mark everything up and sell twice what they have.

Fuggem.

How is this possible? You makin $16/hour? I would say get a better job.

Heck not even Conrad is that broke.

Finally. A little conversation without the knuckle draggers simply saying GFY. 🤣

Here’s the deal. The economy is wonderful if your smart. Too many people aren’t however. Less than 50% of all Americans have a retirement account, and of those, the average balance is pathetic. I could give a rats ass what the interest rate on a new car is. Wanna know why? I’m not financing a new car. But guess what, everyday I see people who I KNOW make a chit ton less than I do driving brand new diesel pickups that are approaching $100k, if not more. I’ve never owned a brand new vehicle, and my wife and I drive Toyotas because they last forever. The average retirement account in the US for my age bracket is about $142k, and the median is $48k. That is fuggin pathetic!! When my wife hires someone, one of the things she pushes is her companies 401k. You know what she hears from potential employees? Crickets. Half of her employees do not participate in the companies 401k. These aren’t uneducated people either, as many have their Doctoret degrees. When I lived in Georgia, I loved laughing at the redneck construction workers driving brand new trucks they financed for 10+ years. I put more in my 401k every year than they make, but they had nicer trucks, phones, TV’s etc. These are the people complaining because those trucks they have to finance cost a hell of a lot more money now. Yes, prices are up due to Covid inflation, the question for those complaining is are you doing your part to be financially successful, or are you trying to keep up with the Jones and being an idiot financially? The numbers say most Americans are being idiots.

The crash bros have been predicting impending doom since forever.

We will have a recession, but the severity is unknown. Might be in one now. My industry is going about 150%, so I am skeptical we are. In the last recession we were about 50%, so if this is a recession, I will take it.

Okay. You got yours, and f*** everyone else, right?

There ARE a lot of stupid Americans. That's why the dhimmicrats control the Senate and think there's no inflation and we can just keep on adding to the national debt, and everything will be fine.

You're a moron.

JMHO
The current economic conditions have[greatly] widened the gap between those barely getting by and those killing it.
I don't argue that this is still the best place for anyone with some hutzpah to drag their selves out of economic ruination, but I would say it's getting harder to do by the day.

You are out of touch, thats all. We have shopped the same, buying generally the same food for 25 years and groceries now cost a good $100+ when we go for the same product. And the cool thing is now you get less of that product for even more money. Wife and I cant get out of the grocery store for less than $300. Gas just jumped 30 cents a gallon last night. Nlow $3.69 here for 87

How many kids are you feeding?

20 percent more for 20 percent less quantity, with less quality as well.

He is a fuggin moron!

What exactly do you do for a living?

yup!

Callscum sucks cawk for a living

Are you aware how much debt was added to the US under Trump? He did in 4 years what took Obama 8. Do yourself a favor, and research debt by party. You will see that Democrats are much better about US debt than Republicans. That is a FACT!! The only thing the Republicans are better about is convincing their idiot followers that they are actually better. If you haven’t “got yours” whose fault is that? It certainly isn’t mine! Maybe you should look in the mirror and ask yourself why? The only reason I sometimes vote for D’s is because the American public does better under D’s than they do under R’s. Again, that is a verifiable FACT!! If you continue to vote against your own well being, that’s up to you. But don’t be pissed when the people you vote for are screwing you behind your back while touting how great a job they are doing to your face. Educate yourself.

JFC

I am VERY aware of the spending problems and the RINOs who keep throwing fuel on the fire. That is NOT justification for handing power to the totalitarian dhimmicrat party. As far as my "you got yours" comment goes, you are incorrect in PROJECTING your values onto me because I am not bemoaning my own circumstances, which happen to be quite acceptable---but I DO think about others' well being and the future of this country. So take your "verifiable FACT" and stick it up your ass. Moron.

So do you spend 1/3 to 1/2 of your paycheck on a grocery trip?

I deal with customers daily. I talk with folks from all walks of life. Uber rich down to the basic working man living paycheck to paycheck. The only pricks who seem to be clueless are the stupid rich, emphasis on stupid. Damn near everyone coming through our doors are complaining on the rising costs of the every day items needed to live. Our business is down significantly and so is every other dealer in our dealer group from around the country. RV manufacturers are beginning to have massive layoffs. Dealers are not selling inventory and are sitting on much more than they should be at this point. The housing crash back in bamas first term didnt have much effect on us here. This area is normally very stable. This go around is killing us and every other dealer we keep contact with. Like I said, the ones who are acting like nothing is wrong are either to rich to feel the pain or too fuggin dumb to understand what is happening

No and I never said that. We do spend over $100 more a trip now. That started last year and the quantity of what you are getting is far less for more money

So, is Trump a RINO now? That massive increase in debt occured under his watch because of the bills he signed into law! Like I said, some of you people are too stupid to understand what’s going on, and then you can’t figure out why your falling behind.

No doubt about that.

I would have to say, the RV and boat industry is probably one of the worst to be in right now. But everyone saw that coming a mile away.

How are some of you so isolated from this? Honest question. This isnt a lcoal thing. I have people I deal with daily around the country. The pinch is on and is hitting most everyone. Interests rates are terrible. Housing prices are out of this world. Food and fuel prices are the worst Ive seen in my lifetime. No plan is in place to fix this and our gov cant even afford the interest on the debt it owes which is growing daily. The dollar has lost a chit ton of eight around the world. Not sure how this is being missed by some of you

Are you too stupid to understand that Trump had no authority but to sign or veto? Just STOP. You're not convincing anyone here.

And yet he signed...

Jetboi ur a leftist pos it don’t take stupid to see that

I have seen it much worse.

In my industry and career, we are seeing massive pay increases due to a labor shortage. Most employers have recently forked out 20-30% pay increases to compete for employees. In my wife’s industry, they are opening more and more health clinics due to demand, and she is climbing the corporate ladder. She recently received a 6% pay increase plus bonuses that will increase her pay by another 20-30% per year.

A perfect example of confirmation bias right here.

Every industrial business I deal with is booming.

How many kids did you say that you are feeding calBuzz?
I can't seem to find your answer??

Callscum Bumfuk buzz and Jetboi the 3 headless horseman LOL😂🤣

Having no debt at all and some retirement savings, I can't say I'm struggling. The wife makes good money as well. I don't even have to buy ammo or components or much else at all, because I've set myself up for life. I do buy groceries though, and I see much higher prices across the board over the last year or so. When I think back to the days when I had to choose between eating mac-and-cheese and hot dogs OR making the monthly payment on my car insurance, I wonder how young folks are managing. As I understand it, many are just staying with their parents these days.

Interesting. As I have said, we are generally insulated from this kind of things in these parts. Not this go around. Its bad, Businesses closing up constantly. Hiring has slowed do significantly as well. There are still some places with signs up, but people I know that are looking are having a tough time

Yup, I employee a couple guys in their 40s that are back home living with their parents. Never got in to the exact reasons why, but the one has stated numerous times, if he had his own house, he would be in trouble due to the price of everything

ANY 40-year-old that has to move back in with their parents has only himself to blame. It has nothing to do with inflation or recession. It has everything to do with pizz poor life decisions.

I disagree, gunchump is a flat out liar. Fuel prices worse he's seen in his lifetime? 🤣

Then why didn’t he veto a bad bill? That’s literally the POTUS’s job. Or did you really believe him when he said he was going to balance the budget? I’ll never understand why Trump supporters believe his lies, and then give him a pass when they know he lied directly to their faces.

He’s telling the truth ur just to dumb to realize it

You mean decisions like making a career of flipping burgers and expecting an income sufficient to send three kids to Harvard?

Thank you. You saved me from typing the exact same thing.

Team sport and low IQ...divorced themselves from reality a long time ago. Voting against themselves is business as usual.

You'll never understand a damned thing because you choose to be stupid, and I'm not going to waste my time or effort trying and fix that. Moron.

Eat shit.


You're one of the lowest life forms on the planet with your simple "vote money out of others' pockets and into my own" mentality. Piece of crap.

So let me get this straight. The guy who is working 7 days this month, who will max out the 401(K) 401(B), and 403(B) retirement limits, with a total compensation over $500K is the stupid moron? If that’s the case, I’m OK with that.

Point out where I stated fuel is the worst Ive seen? Inflation and cost of living is the worst Ive seen in my lifetime. Never said gas you f uckin retard

There are plenty of idiots out there with money. Moron.

Learned it from trump.

Keep pulling that r lever.

A few items that seem to be over the heads of a few folk in this thread:

Does anyone know what percentage of the current GDP is completely due to .gov spending?

'Some' in this thread keeping stating that DJT is the largest deficit spending POTUS ever.
We are within 1-2 months of J. Robinette saying "hold my beer"

These unnamed 'folk' that are right here in this thread are nothing more than Big[er] Government Leftists.

Not the type to rely on if the SHTF type.

Keep pulling that D lever, aka your boyfriends c ock

👏👏👏👏

Spot on. Election year has these low life scums polluting these boards far too often

Gunchump, read the chit you post... 🤡

Buzz, eat the chit you kill.

Your jealousy is duly noted, but in fairness I'd be grumpy and b itching about inflation too if I had to buy store bought meat.

I assumed the RV industry would face a potential crash as I watched lots of people snap up RVs during the pandemic. A lot of those RVs are hitting the used market and that combined with higher interest rates and probably higher RV prices due to higher input costs is likely to have a real impact on the RV industry. Also, while interest rates are higher (as compared to 1 or 2 percent), I don't actually consider them to be high. When mortgages get into the 8% and up range, I consider that to be high.

As is your ASSumption.

LOL!

It’s not JUST the money, but that does help. It’s how little I work to get the money. Deer season, elk season, salmon season, opening week of pheasant season in multiple states, ya, I get it all off. Hell, I’m planning on hunting Africa again in 5-6 years, and I won’t waste a single week of vacation to go on the trip. I plan on retiring early too. All these things because I’m a moron and decided a long time ago I’d work smarter, and not harder.

How many kids was it that you are feeding?

3

Pay increases that are being eaten up by inflation. All the while the middle class is being destroyed. But to take another look at what we're dealing with as a nation there is little to nothing being done to bring manufacturing jobs back to this nation. I'd also say that most of the job increases are being heavily funded in some way or another by tax dollars, things like renewable energy. We have been put in the same position that FDR did during the depression. It is always the leftist that put us here too.

Keep pulling cock dumfuk

hey Ryan busse. I thought you were too busy trying to get Cornyn to ban firearms and getting wolves into Colorado. looks like your belly is bigger than Lloyd Hettick's now lol

This [bleep] does not give the tiniest fuck about anything or anyone other than his own self and is too stupid to realize that he'll be eating the bugs too.

The wife and I have been watching the truck camper market for a few years. We really wanted a HOST 3-slide camper during the pandemic, but we held off due to the price increases and the ridiculous wait times. Used ones were snapped up like crazy, and the RV market was BOOMING. Now, there’s tons of used 2021-2022 Host’s for sale, and used prices have dropped about $20k, so we are probably going to pull the trigger on one. My Parents sold their 2012 Winnebago Class A in 2022 for basically what they paid for it. Had they waited 8-10 months they would have got about $20k less. The RV industry is seeing the correction from the COVID bubble.

Mmkay

Tell us another one Losttrail60.

Haha!

That^^^^
Plus it took him/it 5 minutes to count that high in his head.

Na, I don't generally pay attention to your posts, and traffic headed home here in North Idaho sucks right now. Tourons think its slick. LOL

You didn’t pass history class in high school did you. For the record, the Great Depression began in August of 1929, and Herbert Hoover was the President. Hoover was a Republican and believed heavily in laissez faire economics. FDR wasn’t inaugurated until March of 1933, nearly 4 years into the Depression. FDR’s policies quickly turned the economy and the US almost immediately began to recover. The Great Depression, The Great Recession, and the COVID Recession ALL began under GOP Presidents, and it took Democrat Presidents to bring our country back.

Jezuz fuqkin Christ ur head is thick boi

If this is a democrats version of a recovery there isn’t much hope. Take me back to the days of Trump.
I rather liked 1.78 a gallon fuel and 2% mortgage rates not to mention grocery bills 30% lower.

Osky

This

You do remember that was when the country was shut down, right?

Had nothing to do with T rump.

I stand corrected. Did not mean fuel prices. I meant cost of living in general. Im man enough to admit it when i make a mistake

^^^^

I agree 110%. I miss the days of empty store shelves, nearly having to wipe my azz with my hands due to a toilet paper shortage, closed schools, closed restaurants, face masks, massive job losses, 14% unemployment, thousands of people dying daily from COVID, and $1.78 a gallon gas. Those were the best days ever!!!

That's quite a load of bullshit you've posted there.

Jetboi losttrails and Lloyd need to join hands and sing coombya lol

Prove him wrong... 🤡

Go fuck yourself Buzzardshit.

I'm not here to fix stupid. Just point at it.

Reading, writing, and comprehension are not your strong suits.

As well as 2021 into 2022.

Selective memory, such a BITCH!

Being a commie phaagut is urs

Buzzy and his "beard" wife trying to make babies. Buzz is a bottom bisshh of course

🤣🤣🤣🤣

busse you were a huge covtard

No, rates dropped the entirety of Trumps term, so did fuel. What was it Obama said while in office, “ I think 5.00 per gallon of gas is fair”. We also payed less for electricity, lp,ng, and water bills under Trump.

He can’t. That would require reading comprehension and the ability to do some research himself. All he does is regurgitate what he doesn’t know, and spout the party line. Where I come from, we call those people who can’t think for themselves….. SHEEP!!

I don't NEED to prove you wrong. Most here already know what you are. Same goes for Buzzardshit.

No. It's bullshit.


Have you fallen off any ladders lately?

Someone comes along and disagrees with you and you do the typical liberal thing and start with insults and twisting words. I did not say FDR started the depression. It was the war effort that put money back into private business, not FDR. In fact it was his own policies that dismantled much of the manufacturing in the USA. I will give him the credit to having enough good sense, or being willing to listen to those that did, to get government restrictions out of the private sectors way and let them deal with building everything we needed to defeat Hitler and the Japs. That is what brought us out of the depression not liberal policies. From all I can see the democrats spend all their efforts destroying freedom, the border, healthcare, the military, implementing their special projects like the green new deal and funding the killing of unborn children then when a republican does get elected they have to spend copious amount of money and effort to fix the absolute mess they've been given. Your own hero obama claimed Trump needed a magic wand to fix the economy. Then he said it was impossible to do so. Then after Trump brought jobs back and we were energy independent your lying hero claimed the credit. You as a democrat are bent on the destruction of all that is decent and good. Abortion is a prime example and that's just one of many examples.

Here’s fatfuk buzz Jetboi and callscum the phaag
picture hosting

True. Liberals can't help themselves.

In May of 2018 (right in the middle of the dates provided), the average price of 1 gallon of gas was $2.90. In Jan, the average cost was $3.07. If you adjust the $2.90 for 3% yearly inflation, in today’s price that would equal $3.36 per gallon. So, gas was actually cheaper when adjusted for inflation last month under Biden than it was in May 2018 under Trump. Congratulations, you guys are idiots with no brains.

Job creation actually slowed under Trump. I know you guys hate those pesky things called facts. But it’s true. Feel free to research it yourself as well.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckj...ob-growth-all-beat-trumps-best-year/amp/

They get their "facts" from Q, bumper stickers, and memes around here, what did you expect?

And you support the slaughter on unborn children, the sex trade, the encouraged use of illegal drugs and the cartels getting them here, biden appointing psychopaths that have yet to decide what sex they are being put in charge of our nation and giving us a 2 tiered justice system and many other things.

Fuel prices have always been a political football in an election year. Your numbers don't mean squat. Factor in what a home cost now compared to 3 years ago and by the way for all this money going to the middle east for fuel because your hero ruined our energy policies, that same money is being used to target and kill Americans. You leftist have so much to be proud of.

We sure do seem to have some cherry pickers here.....anything to fit these Leftists narratives.

They're not Liberals, they are Leftists.
Big difference.

It's all about projection. They think we're like they are and that if they can convince us voting for the socialists will put an extra nickel in our pockets, we'll fall for it---because that's EXACTLY how they are.

First off, you have no idea what I believe about unborn children, the sex trade, the boarders, etc, and zi think you’d be suprised.

This is about economics, nothing more, nothing less. So, let me point out some more facts. Oil production declined by 2 million BPD during Covid, and under Trump. Since that time, US oil production has skyrocketed, and we’re producing records amounts of oil and energy. Yes, even more than when Trump was in office. So, how has Biden ruined our energy production if we are producing record amounts of energy including more oil than when Trump was in office?

I mean, do you actually research any of this yourself or do you just listen to right wing media?

https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=mcrfpus2&f=m

Jetboi ur brainwashed

Being a man is not yours either f aggot

Right, projection is all you've got.

Why the Rs lost another house seat last night. Do some of your own thinking, for once.

The rv industry saw the correction from the covid prices a while ago. That is not even close to what is happening now. Best interest rate on a camper is 8% and thats with the top credit rate you can have. The average joe can not afford the payment and up keep on the product anymore. We have dropped down to 50% in sales last year. Sure there are people buried from paying for too much during covid, but thats always the case when buying camper or vehicles for that matter. People are keeping what they have and attempting to fix the old stuff. Why cant your mini f uckin brain comprehend that the economy is chit and your pedo boy that you love to support has only made things worse? Hes on year 4 of his illegal presidency and all he has to show for it is the start of ww3, human trafficking being helped along by the gov, the worst economy we have seen since the carter years and absolute chaos in this country. Congrats pedo supporter

Aww Jeez, here we go with 'boarders' again..........

"I'm sorry, we're not taking boarders at this time"

"The southern US border along Mexico is wide open"

Some people keep on reminding us just how smart that we aren't.......

Buncha dumfuks

We have no idea what some believe about unborn children.......

But I support candidates that want abortion available on demand, up to birth.........

Yeah, we have a pretty good idea.

“First off, you have no idea what I believe about unborn children, the sex trade, the boarders, etc, and zi think you’d be suprised”.

Personally I always repel boarders without regard to their politics.

Just STFU, you liberal swine. Nobody is interested in a conversation with you, you marxist chkunt. FOAD.

S&P up 24% on the year, low unemployment, and $20+/hour jobs around every corner. in spite of your claim, fuel prices are very good.

Yeah, economy is really sputtering.

Anyone not making a killing right now is asleep.

No, in the 30 months pre pandemic Trump created 5.5 million private sector jobs. Biden only sat there while people by need went BACK to work. Biden’s biggest percentage increase in job creation is in government jobs created.
ADP job numbers and Biden’s job numbers have never jived, it also seems joes monthly miracle numbers are routinely downgraded shortly after being released but the changes aren’t taken out.
Under trump average weekly income overall went up 8.7% AFTER inflation.
The last year, hourly wages have gone up 4.7%, inflation up 6.7%.
Last two years wages went up 9.8% while inflation went up 14.2%

Osky

...at the taxpayers expense.

Buzz, what percentage of the GDP is directly tied to .gov spending?

Democrats demanding a 50 dollar an hour min wage to decrease inflation and housing prices



This is the dumb schit that economic retards with no education like Buzzy support

https://x.com/jeremiahbonds/status/1757806345716486216?s=46

Lol buzzy hasn’t worked a day in his life you think a fat lazy dumbschit understands basic economics and fiscal policy?

It’s takes an income of about $142,000 household income to afford an average house now under democrats

It’s was around $55,000 under Trump

Bidenomics at work

You are defending biden and tearing down Trump. Why would I not think you support all he promotes. At the very least you are guilty by association. With that being said you will stand before all mighty God and answer your contributions to all I accused you of, the very worst being abortion.

It's great. Pfizer made a killing. So are the CYAs Mexican cartels pushing fentanyl.

I guess as the value of the Federal Reserve Banknote goes down its probably better to hold stocks. Sen.Tommy Tuberville says your buds printing $3.4 million/minute isn't going end well.

It has also been established that the condition of the economy is very regionally specific. Some areas are thriving while others are sucking hind tit. I see it within my own sales region. I wonder how much revenue transfer can be attributed to the influx of the illegals, and the migration of Americans southward? Overall, I would say that the economy is a bit weak and is slipping. Inflation is insane right now!

Not to mention almost every item at the grocery store being double in most cases. Inflation is just another tax increase.

Yeah, in fantasyland... 🤡

Pick your favorite economist...report back.

It's okay that you don't know, I wouldn't have expected it.

Takes 2 seconds to answer...do you need help?

Okay, you've had 12 minutes.....but we all know that you're a bit dense so we'll wait.

How bout some of those hero shots of you and the animals you've killed while we wait?

Off the top of my head, about 30%. What do I win? Here’s a little tougher question for you to answer. Since Reagan’s “Trickle Down” economics theory, how much US Tax Revenue has been transferred from big business/corporations, to civilian tax payers? Here’s a hint, the R’s are fugging you behind your backs, and you are willingly slowing all of it.

Try that thing you're typing on...we'll wait. Try helping yourself, and find those bootstraps.

I'm not going to change your channel to Matlock or bring you a pudding cup either.
.

Plz no

Here's a hint for you:
The Uniparty is screwing ALL of us right in front of your eyes while telling you how wonderful everything is
FYI-that's not rain running down your back

BTW-do you know the difference between a border & a boarder?

Yeah, you're a boarder at the place the nice lady brings you you're pudding.

The border is what trump failed to build a wall across and Rs decided isn't an issue when they declined a bill to secure it.

Where did I say otherwise? I think you're confused.

No pics???
WTH
Bummer

President Trump wrestled with Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, demanding that rates be lowered again. He even threatened to fire Powell. A few months later, the Fed reversed course again and lowered rates. Real estate and stocks responded with vigor. Sales picked up again as more people could afford to buy, and home values continued to rise.

Buzzy said Biden was one of our most intelligent and professional presidents in 2021


No wonder he condones Biden’s behavior

Buzz is acting like a coward today

Ummmmm, welllllll
Should you choose you may want to look at who all YOU quoted there.
Your school bus had maybe 4-6 less wheels than most, aye?

Yeah...so out of character! Hahahaha!

I can't control others who need help with their spelling. I make the occasional typo myself.

What's your point, besides the one on top of your noggin'?

Hey buzz tell us about them Virginia mountains

Sure do. But my iPhone loves to autocorrect border to boarder for some reason. And I love watching it piss you off. But, let me ask you a question, if the R’s are so good with the economy, why are 9 of the 10 poorest US states controlled by Republicans? Why are those same states subsidized by Blue states tax dollars? And why are Blue states so much richer than red states, more educated, with much lower poverty rates as well.

Your not you’re

Buzzy is sofaking confused.

"Border to boarder" yep you're a real smart one. almost as smart as Biden your hero

another one of Buzzy's most recent hunting success pics

👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Why are those same states subsidized by Blue states tax dollars? And why are Blue states so much richer than red states, more educated, with much lower poverty rates as well."

Because they are populated with jetjockeys, DUH!

Why you're a national treasure and hero to all!

P.S. If you think anything that you do or say upsets me in any way shape or form then you are sadly mistaken.

I love it. When you guys are stumped and can’t answer questions, you post memes and laugh at how funny you think they are while sucking each other off.

Did you ever get that Nosler box open?

Oh...and your delusional version of history is just that..... delusional.

The only thing that makes me feel sad is speaking to another “has been” who can’t wrap his head around how well the economy is doing while it passes him by. Those of us who can, are making butt loads of money and living the good life.

California being 1 blue state that isn't subsidizing the red peasants?

Nosler box?

Which part of my “delusional history” is wrong. I’ll wait for you to research it.

Why are liberal hell hole cities ridden with the most crime? Why do liberal cities have higher tax rates? Why are liberal run cities suffering with lack of police forces? Why are so many people fleeing liberal states? Why are liberal run states wanting to take away my 2nd amendment rights?

You have fantasies dumfuk Jetboi

All of it.

So you never did get that box open?

Fatfuk Buzz suck you off Jetboi ?

Did you just type that out loud for all of us to read?🤣🤣

https://www.moneygeek.com/living/states-most-reliant-federal-government/

You're beginning to ASSume[much like Buzz].
I guess that 3 homes in 2 states[one on a fairly popular lake, one having great hunting/wildlife and the other being a vacay rental] is getting passed by, whoa is me.

Plus running an 80+ year old family business that I bought from said family in my late 30's just isn't enough.

Again, whoa is me

Please excuse me while I go punch myself in the nuts.

Jetboi are you a grifter like ur hero Lloyd

8 out of 10 states with the highest crime are red states. Just saying.

I did, Cali is broke[almost as bad as Bidens USA]

I think the USA will go into a "recession" only if we are very VERY lucky.

A total collapse if more likely.

So the economy is doing really well for you. What are you complaining about?

The nosler box you left on the stepladder jeffo

I have children and grandchildren.

I want all of them to have as good[or better] opportunities than I have.

I don't think this country is on a sustainable track presently.
Many others clearly feel the same way.

You don't get it.

But hey, I'm just a dumb impoverished uneducated hick from a red region being subsidized by all of you smart folk from blue states, so what do I know.

I’m lost. Are you guys still trying to accuse me of being someone I’m not?

A-ha! I knew I recognized that style of overwhelming bullshit.

You’ve been lost

Well time will tell right! I see it differently. I see the US continuing to lead the world, and our economy only getting stronger and stronger. Now, we will eventually need to get debt under control, but I certainly don’t put my faith in Republicans to do that. I know my 401k loves the current administration, and if we can keep the R’s from doing stupid chit like they did in 1937, we will be just fine.

On the 5 acre spread.......

Democrats are nothing but a disease

Buzzy's latest "hunting trip"


can you pick him out? lol

America is becoming like Gambia now. The currency is so debased and people are so poor there you can't buy anything good. The quality of all manufactured goods here is of much poorer quality than just a few years a go. In Dillards the other day, after several years, it was shocking how cheap quality all the clothes are now. But the prices are high. Food prices are insane. There has to be a major financial implosion with all these $100 Billion wars and millions of illegals hitting the welfare roles at once. Our critters do not grasp how the center of global power has shifted. They have lost control. Utter dependence on China buying up our debt while servicing our needs won't soften the fall. Mom used to scoff at the mention of a Greater Depression. She didn't live to see it.

Likely when, and how bad.

All I hear from my customers is “more, more, more”. I’m buying product from other producers to cover customers who otherwise would have stores with empty tanks for weeks on end.

My biggest marketing battle is to keep tanks in the stores because the stores can’t find people to staff the cutting stations. Distribution costs are outrageous. But the consumer seems to be completely impervious to price increases. Our highest priced species are all still on allocation.

There’s just an insane amount of money floating around in this economy, still, at least in the metropolitan areas where we sell.

Well, something is going on, I’ve noticed more people over the last year paying in cash and withdrawing cash from banks. A few months ago, on a Friday afternoon I went to withdraw $200 cash from my credit union. I could only get $175, and that was in all $5’s! That’s all they had on hand, or down to an amount they wouldn’t go below.
Unbelievable.

Hey coffee badger, Aren't you supposed to be working?

You lazy useless liberal twat boi.

I'm talking about big orders of things we stock up on, and a weekly check.
Not every order and check.

Guess that wasn't clear.
I don't think about checks that much.
We get paid weekly,
I cash checks as I need money. Sometimes weekly, sometimes not for several weeks.

LOL!

Interesting. What kind of work are you in?

We farm and distribute fish.

Fake news, gunchump, fibka, and raferd all say you're a liar.

You cannot help yourself can you? No one is jealous of you if your life consists of what you present on this forum. I'm sorry but you are thought to be an unhappy incel blowhard.

No one that has a family and a normal life wants to trade places with you.

We have your number. Really, you are to be pitied in many ways.

I doubt anyone on the other side of what you stand for thinks the republican party has done much of anything to improve anything other than pad their own pockets. You think liberal states are better? Look at California and Illinois. Both would vote democrat if Castro was running with a D behind his name and everything about them is terrible. Both financially and morally. Look at Michigan and what a pathetic state of affairs it has. Most of them beg for more financial aid from the feds to prop themselves us. My home state of Missouri and St. Louis, that city is full of democrats and crime ridden. Every ballot issue that comes up in this state that makes sense and contributes to freedom is shot down by St.Louis and Kansas City. One example is concealed carry. They said it would be like the wild west all over again with shootings every day. So far so good and I expect it to stay that way with those of us that honor the Constitution. Answer me this....why is almost every attempt to curb gun ownership brought up by democrats? Last but not least the most violent offense to any human life is being pushed at break neck speed by your man biden and from all I see out of your post you support it. Abortion. You and your kind have absolutely no moral compass.

Psychopath, is a mentally unstable person; especially : a person having an egocentric and antisocial personality marked by a lack of remorse for one's actions, an absence of empathy for others, and often criminal tendencies.

Describes the biden crime family. This is what you support.

Lloyd Hectikkk. Posting all day on the internet while at work for the fed govt?

what a waste of tax dollars

jetjocky is really Jeffo. One of his sock puppets. Jeffo has a well documented history on here bragging of drug use

Right now. China's economy is in the toilet. Much of Europe was shut down waaaaay longer than us during the CHINa Flu. They still have not pawed their way to where they were before. Our stock market is getting jammed with money from people from around the world. It is growing and growing and growing. The FAANGS are especially doing well with AI stocks leading the way. During the 1920s we had a Pandemic that killed off a large number of people around the world. There was a wealth transfer. The wealthier class became ultimate consumers they got into the market and were speculating like bosses. They used installment buying and bought overpriced stock on margins that wouldn't hold. Right now we have a cycle kind of like that but there are some differences. My wife has a gift shop where she grosses about 50K per summer. She has been offered almost 200K in credit card credit. She never needed it before and doesn't need it now but that is what she was offered. My brother in law made about 250K on the market this last year. He has about 2 million invested in the market. For him the economy is extremely good. However, at the same time I dabble with the community food bank and we are at lowest levels supply from the stores with the highest levels of demand from the community. Higher than the Pandemic. I see a great chasm opening up in our economy and the wealthy, JetJockey and Buzz, type fellers taking it. I remember talking to my grandparents about the Great Depression that they lived through on farms in South Dakota. They said they were dirt poor before it happened and were poor through the whole thing but those that were rich were the ones who were clobbered. They said whole families would commit suicide rather than to live within their means. Something has got to give and I believe that within 6 months we will see some form of a market crash. It might take an invasion of Taiwan but something is going to cause the reckoning. The people struggling now will be doing the same but the rich in the blue states. Well in some ways that got this coming. It ends in 8 years and a war so we will see.

The saying goes there’s a sucker born every minute Buzz was born a cock sucking dumfuk

He and junk jockey are pathetic losers. The only reason they come on here is to aggravate conservatives. What a pathetic useless existence. Wormlike internet cowards.

Good post.

I agree that inflation is clobbering some demographics much harder than others. But certain demographics are doing really well right now. For example, tradesmen right now are living pretty high on the hog. Real estate agents, not so much. I'm not sure what is coming could be considered a crash or collapse but of course we are talking about subjective definitions that vary from person to person. One persons crash is another persons correction. I see it more as a correction across the market and housing market but who knows when it will arrive. We have been waiting for years. But I don't think it's going to be like the last legitimate crash unless something big sets it off. But it could be, who knows. Make your bets and live with the consequences.

The US Dollar reigns supreme as the recent hot CPI cools the bets on the FED easing rates anytime soon.

"China Will Invade Taiwan in 2024"

They can have Taiwan if I have to send money or family to stop it.
