Its a fair assumption that you are "free trade, anti-tariff" based off your posts.


That may be the case, but I haven't made an argument for that, as you claimed I have.

All I have done is point out what has happened and is gong to continue to happen as a result of tariffs, and explain to people who don't seem to know enough about these things that the results they expect are not likely (and in some cases objectively impossible).

I have no idea how you do business, but you’re doing it wrong.

We're being asked to put escalation pricing in our bids by the owners and the GCs. They understand the current business climate.

I sold my business in 2023. I now work for the company that purchased my business.

Try again.

But hey, let's not post job reports anymore or hire someone who will publish numbers that don't piss off the president and fit into his narrative that everything is rosy (or shiny gold).

Why do you like job reports being reported wrong? The damage those frickers have done is insane. If the jobs report was correct it would help trumps crusade for rate cuts

How are you liberal men this dumb all the time? TDS really is a severe disease

2008 was people having mortgages that exceeded the value of their homes. When banks foreclosed, they lost their shorts. If home values dropped(im not saying they shouldnt) that puts a LOT of people in the same exact situation


The home real estate market isn't nearly in that sort of environment. Estimates I've been able to find put ~70% of mortgages as having rates at 5% or lower with just over 50% at 4% or lower. In 2008 a bigger part of the issue was that those risky mortgages had been bundled together and sold as securities. Initially they had good enough returns to attract all sorts of investors. The house of cards it was built on bit a lot of people in the arse.

What we're looking at is the consumer debt bubble popping when we have the next recession. That has the potential to make 2008 look like a church picnic.

You do know that the BLS revised jobs down over 500,000 for the period of 2018-2019.

Yet, I didn't hear you clamoring about the need for accuracy then.
