OPEC wouldn't cut production if USA increased production to fill the gap. OPEC only does that to raise the ppb. If USA filled the gap, that extra money comes to us. This isn't Econ 8937.

Some of yall are so fricking stupid it's like playing cards with my 5 year old niece.


We are producing more than ever this year

You seem to be under the impression that US oil companies aren’t loving every minute of this. Being able to blame Biden for higher prices is a Goldilocks scenario for them, and I don’t blame them. They’ve gotten smarter with their capital deployment and they won’t return to drill baby drill regardless of the president. They’re slowly increasing production by the month.

I genuinely have no idea how people are buying homes right now.


I did 3 months ago, it is a bitch. Problem is, I don't see how it gets better.

If I had to guess they are buying into co-investments that own single family housing.

I could see a scenario where they’re not buying SFH at all because of the problems with scale. When you have the assets under care that they have, SFHs just don’t scale up quickly enough.

You would have to buy whole neighborhoods to make it feasible. Having the maintenance crews in one area makes sense in that scenario. Having maintenance crews that have to drive to different parts of town every day would be cost-prohibitive.

They admit they are still investing in multi-family probably for the very reason I mentioned. Scaling that is much more feasible.

I mean someone owns it and has figured it out. Just look at most of the burbs lately and one out of every 10 homes or so are rented out.

He cleverly sabotaged Biden by not having the runaway inflation start until after Biden's policies started kicking in.

It makes sense for smaller firms. His point is when you have $9.5 trillion to manage/invest like BR does the scale becomes so lopsided that SFHs just don't fit.

American dream is dead unless you have rich parents

Plumbers in urban areas are charging $250-400/hr for a plumber and a helper. Electricians and carpenters making bank too. Huge labor shortages there. I’d say the dream is alive and well for those willing to grind.

The era of high rates will pass eventually.

I get it, I'm assuming they are indirectly or directly investing into those smaller companies that are doing it. There's borderline zero chance they have no SFH investments.

How long does it take to charge those rates and what locations are those? Nyc?

I have told a lot of people to skip college and become a plumber in the past ten years. I wasn't joking but none of them listened. Nonunion plumbers that strike out on their own are making bank from the jump. You don't even have to wrangle turds. You could strictly be a new construction plumber and kill it.

No, but Biden still deserves 100% of the blame for over regulating the entire industry.

Actually it is considering Biden and the left does everything they can to piss off the Saudis by kowtowing to Iran. Make no mistake, the Saudis have no intention of helping the pro-Iran Valerie Jarret cabal by pumping more oil to lower prices.

Same here. Closed at the end of March. Those sweet rates two years ago would have got us another $200k in house at my current mortgage payment. Praying in a few years we’ll see at least the 4% range again
