That should have happened in 2008.
It didn’t? Sure felt like it did to me.

Now we are getting somewhere….
Too many news stories are written with false dichotomy.
The money supply machine was underway at the election. Did the new President try to overload with too much/too long free cash? You bet until his own party member (Manchin) shut it down. We got away with one there. Bonus.
There is more at play than a bunch of lazy, entitled punks that don’t want to work. Blame the parents. People have left the workforce for a better quality of life and not wanting to deal with the current state of things. Who will replace our retiring generation? We are in deep chit!
I walked. California is done. I’m spending my best days in Wyoming building my fence. Oh, and diesel can be had for $5.50 here. Sorry, but Wyoming is closed. I’m sure you’ve read about it in the news lately. Stay home.
Supply chain and energy costs are at the core of what we are dealing with now. The biggest mistake Biden will make is to pressure the Fed to ease rates once recession takes hold in 2024. Let the economy fall apart. Clear out the dead wood.
What else ya got?

Well then, enlighten us stupid people.... tell us how None of this is because of the direction this government is going.....tell us how we are on the right track.
You show ME. How do I call out policy that doesn’t exist?
People blame their fed government for everything that affects THEIR lives. Is someone really blaming Democratic policy for our current inflation? Show me this policy?
I’ll listen to facts.
Our current condition is what it is. Can’t think of any policy that is a singular cause. Sanctions? Conservative leader would not have done the same? Tariffs? Hmmmmmmmm…..
Is it gun control? Some minor changes have been made but mostly at the STATE level.
Everything would be different if Trump won the election? How?
Do Democrats tell more lies to their voters than Republicans? Probably.
Is Nancy Pilosi a shitbag? Of course. Does Kamala Harris make one want to hurl? You bet.
Now bring some cause and affect facts….-

You can't be serious...
I’m waiting…..
Apparently you’ve got some news/FACTS I’m unaware of?
The news is filled with rhetoric. Bring some facts.
Im tired of the sniveling around internet stories that become fact just because they are written.

I heard of this guy that didn’t pay his workers at the end of a job, he claims someone put super-glue in his vehicle’s door locks and put Fix-All through his irrigation system.
Gotta remeber that one....

I'm not selling any of my toys, the Corvette, the F250, the boat, the sandrail, the pusher, I'm keeping it all. Whatever is going on in the world today is not going to break me down, I'm not caving in to the pressure. I'm not a business owner, I sign the back of my paycheck. Life is just as good for us today as it was back whenever it was thought to be better. If you pay less attention to what the fake news reports you all will feel better about everything. If the price of fuel is what is making you unhappy, you are probably overextended and living beyond your means already.
Don't worry, be happy.
You sound very successful. I’m sure you paid cash for all of it and are not overextended. Congratulations!

The Fed's intervention, and governments meddling have perverted the economic cycle. I was against bailouts and remain so. I have made many mistakes in life and business(successful family business for 54 years) and nobody bailed us out or paid for our mistakes. Too big to fail is bullshit. The bubble has just continued to get bigger and the pop will be more catastrophic.
I gotta get me some o that bubble bath. Mr Bubble looks pretty happy.

That pic sums it all up why I could never live in Texas! My blood it just too thick to handle that kind of sweat.
My daughter lives/goes to school in Denton. She often house sits in Grapevine. Great town.

Do they still recommend “watering the foundation” with a small sprinkler system when post tension is used? I owned a house in Fort Worth some time back with serious foundation issues. Post tension in homes was just starting to come on line about that time.

Freight and shortages are killing me. Both are fighting each other to be the one that drowns my proposals in red. Freight goes up to eat profit, shortages make it so I can’t ship anything so I get poked in the anus on the next freight hike.
Until we fix literally all of this page:
Going to keep getting worse. In 2008, we cured an economic hangover with more drinking. When the party stops, gonna be not fun.
The ONLY thing on that clock that I give even the remotest chit about is social security burden. 2 more years to collect on my forced contribution. Maybe I get some?
Guess what the gubment will do when there is a shortfall? That’s right, more QE…..Let’s have a guess at what fuel prices will be during that period. Food? Cars? Homes?

See that lil hook at the top? Watch where it goes from here…..
They are now selling off assets to tighten money supply.
The economy is cyclical. Got almost nothing to do with who is captain. Slight political bumps here and there but overall it’s gonna do what it’s gonna do. Covid was an anomaly.
Hard assets are king right now.
Who bought oil stock when oil went below zero for a day? I certainly did. Not complaining over our performance in XOM. Let fuel prices run. It’s a wash if you were invested early.

QE started in 2008, long before Trump. Once they let the bailout genie out of the bottle, and started QE it set us on the highway to hell.
The policy of QE started in 2001 by the Japanese. We borrowed it to save our failing economy. Look where Japan is now for a road map to eventual fiat currency failure.
QE comes and goes as needed. The current round was due to Covid and that was Trump. Again, not “his” policy but current easing started during his watch. Then it went on too long….
Quantitative tightening is in play now as a way to attempt to reign in inflation. We will see it manipulated by political policy rather than real fiscal policy during the next election.
This is the game we are in for the long haul until the dollar is worthless. Our economic system relies on it until it caves in under its own weight.

Yes. Suffering. Steel contracting business. I pulled back on business a year ago as the costs and inefficiency equaled slim to no profit. Thank god we are not driving our trucks as often to job sites to install “pieces” of jobs at a time. We used to have to move in on jobs 2-3 times total. Now the superintendents call constantly to get a sliver of the job just to keep it moving because all the trades before us are in a mess also.
Feels like 3rd world status is just around the corner.
Those that blame “this or that” fed government policy for our condition are clueless. Any in power would have made the same QE decisions. It started in the Trump regime. The Dems DID push for more QE but it failed to pass (which it was bound to but they had to put on a show to buy votes). State policy appears to be more damaging. California policy is just getting absurd. We can vote there with our zip code.
Domestic oil production is not down, in fact is on the rise. Keystone is one controversial example that is being overblown.
Yes, some policies have small cause and affect here and there but overall this is just a correction to a worldwide overconsumption economy. This was going to happen sooner or later. Covid just accelerated the due date.The rest of the world lived with prices this high for decades. Time for change. Nowhere else do they drive inefficient vehicles as the norm as we do.
We are not in control of the worlds resources any longer.
Want to get ahead of the curve? Start selling your toys NOW. Don’t wait until SHTF….
You ain’t seen nothing yet! The “real” bad is coming…..

Pump every 5 years. Good to know if problem developing before it gets out of hand. No additives. No cloth wipes or tampons. Regular TP. Have yet to replace and have had a bunch.
Seepage pit over leach field if you are going new. Doesn’t take up as much designated space.
