The folks moving into the DR Horton homes behind my neighborhood are not H1B1.
Some H-Juan B-Juan and others with a little more melanin.

Unemployment and inflation are also significantly lower right now than in 2008 (although it's always hard to trust government data).
They are but they have been trending in the wrong direction. Unemployment has slowly been creeping up since around 2022, Inflation hasn't been close to 2% since early 2021 and has been moving in the wrong direction every month this year since May.
This is why I was saying prior to the election that no matter who won, they would be facing a recession because you can't frick over your economy (with trillions in stimmy checks and other benefits, along with shutting down much of your supply lines) without serious repercussions. It's why Jerry P's whole "soft landing" rhetoric is and was bullshite.

Are we heading towards a recession or are we already in one, iyo? The job market is very discouraging. Inflation has been at varying levels of insanity for 5 years now.

A few colleagues/friends operate foreclosure mill law firms. They’ve been slow ever since Covid, slowly….very slowly returning to normal. This return to normal isn’t alarming.

In other news, sidewalkside grasps at any negative report on OMB he can find, after his side caved on the shutdown

It gets a bit tricky because there's so fricking much deficit spending going on and that deficit spending props up GDP and it's been that way since the GFC.
Prior to the GFC, GDP growth outpaced annual deficit spending almost every year. For example, from 1981 - 2007 there was only one year when GDP growth did not outpace deficit spending (1991). From 2008-2024 there have been only 4 years where GDP growth has outpaced deficit spending and one of those was 2022 (due to the stimmy checks and other COVID benefits in 2021).
In other words, the ridiculous amounts of deficit spending has obscured whether we have been in a recession or not. My guess is that we have been and if we were to ever start cutting back on deficit spending, we would absolutely see it.
This is why I've said in other economic threads that we have to cut spending and that it's going to hurt LOTS of people.

I don't know about all of that, I do know that I've earned and been given a 31% pay raise this year. So I guess the K isn't getting wider at the lower end for me.

So is Bitcoin dropping because people are dumping it cause they need the cash? Cause I thought it would go up during bad economic outlook periods.

Midterm elections coming up in less than one year. Time to start the narratives.
