The only folks "better off" are illegals and DC Democrats.
I absolutely cut my spending... and its not lack of income/money.
Why pay $30 for a $10 item?
I'll wait: November's not that far away.

That still doesn't make it a child. As you concede it may become a child. A seed isn't a tree. It may become one.
This guy calling other people cultists. ^ 🤪Ask the US Army what he did smart guy.
Ask Arlington National Cemetery what he did.
Ask the family of a soldier who's gravestone was in the Tik Tok that didn't give permission for it brainiac.
You need some drugs and a therapist to escape your cult.
Having morals and ethics seems unhinged to those devoid of them.
The family of a fallen Green Beret is not happy Trump filmed a TikTok and took pictures in the section of Arlington cemetery where the soldier is buried: report
The soldier's sister called on cemetery visitors to honor and respect the "real people who sacrificed for our freedom" buried at the "sacred site."www.yahoo.com
You can almost see the spittle and bulging eyes as he types feverishly from here.
Take the drugs they prescribed you!
They want you to take them for a reason.
We don't want to find you on the evening news on the edge of some bridge or building ranting about bad orange man and
Russians with the police trying to talk you down.
Bottom line:
Trump went and paid his respects to the fallen and their family members.
Joe & Kamala couldn't be bothered.
So all the msm propaganda tall tales and innuendo isn't going to change those plain optics.
It's over, move on. You aren't getting any traction here with sane people or us former and current service members.
Your time would be better served trying to polish the turd that is your candidate.
I have a 20,000 square foot commercial property that has been on the market for over a year. The price has been dropped 3 times and it already priced less than I want to sell it for. Commercial property in my area is not moving at all. I have another property I will put on the market if the first ever sells. I am hoping for an improvement after Nov, but not confident.
News flash: over 95% do.
It’s painful to watch the self-anointed intellects pretend that biology is a crapshoot, so ‘kill your problems away!’
It’s either that story or his window picture. It’s all he has.
Miscarriages happen in about 15% of pregnancies, that means 85% of fetuses in fact become children. When a fetus is aborted its chance of becoming a child drops from 85% to 0%.
The scary thing about this is that I feel there's still a large percentage of businesses locked into Leases for commercial property. My company was set to move it's HQ to a brand new building right before COVID hit. I think the lease was for 3 years, so we more or less just got out of that, and now that building is totally empty. But how many more leases will come up this year, next year, and beyond, that won't be renewed? My mom's law firm was in an office complex that had probably 8 businesses. That building now has just one. Commercial property owners are holding onto these last few years of leases.
Large cities have already had their tax base cut off because of the vacancies, and it seems they re still realizing the effects of this.. but I think there's more to come.
Tech jobs are never going back to the office, unless it's hands on work. They've hired too many people nationally and globally, and the companies that DO try to force people back, will lose their work force.
People are going to need jobs.
Rates will drop, but if prices go up, then that is no payment relief.
There have been lots of layoffs the last 2 years.
Saw yesterday where Goldman is laying off 1,300.
What type of workers do you think those are, and what would drive a company in that industry to lay off 1,300 employees?
We need increased supply, lower rates, tax and insurance relief and and quality jobs.
There is so much spit and tape keeping this economy floating right now.
Yet you have an abortion/ vasectomy bus at your DNC carnival.
Strange party. Whatever happened to dunking booths, cotton candy, and merry-go-rounds?
But i will give credit where it's due. the DNCcp convention had the clowns in abundance.

Yes.
Let’s say companies, on average, sign 10 year leases.
That means the average remaining lease in March 2020 was 5 years. On average, we are about 6-8 months away from tenants formally vacating.
Offices are empty. Buildings that do sell are selling for a song.
Reagan was a solid conservative. Trump no so much. Reagan never much bragged on himself or criticized opponents endlessly. Trump? I'll let you decide.
After thinking some more, could be a great buying opportunity in a junk economy for those with solid jobs.
The dam is about to break if we re-elect dims.
However, if we do re-elect dims, the population will continue to surge and the “surgers” will be the ones incentivized. And while, to your point, a lot of people will be out of work, the funny money will find its way into the wrong hands, the housing supply likely remains too tight, and the great deals may not emerge for the every man.
Lol at the idiot lefty who suddenly gives a hot sht about fallen military! Hahahahaha how conveeeeeeenient! Didn’t give a rat’s ass when Bidumb hung them out to dry but now it suddenly matters 😂You are clueless about why this was an issue.
It's not about a family inviting Trump to a gravesite. If he went there, paid his respects and followed the rules...it would not have been an issue.
There are very strict rules about what you can and can't do at Arlington in that section. Videotaping a F'ing Tik Tok political ad is not one of them. 🤡
Trump and his insane clown posse told the Arlington officials to F off and went ahead snapping photos/videotaping and stomping around gravesites like the disrespectful fu**ers they are.
Do you not care that other families, Arlington and the US army didn't approve of this and are not happy about it?
Of course you don't.
You are in a cult that only sees what the Dumbazz tells you to see.

House Democrats ask Army for report on Arlington incident involving Trump campaign staff

And that's exactly what scares me. Some people think we've hit rock bottom, but I'm not sure we have even come to the cliff yet.
I want to see an either/or, should the federal government set abortion policy or should it be left to the states.
Of course many people are going to answer they want federal policy when the question guarantees their outcome.
Under your fictional scenario where Trump would sign an abortion ban, 86% of the country does not want abortion policy set at the federal level. Conversely, 51% do not want the federal government “ensuring access” to abortion, whatever the hell that means.
That's my thought. Hope and pray that neither my wife or myself lose our jobs, but both are in tech, so you never know.
But anyone that can withstand what is coming, could set themselves up nicely. I'm hoping for a home buying opportunity in the next few years.
Golf buddy finally was able to play a round with us yesterday. Has been working to the bone because he had to lay off a lot of folks not long ago and has been working 80+ hours a week trying to help fill holes where needed. Said these were high paying jobs that they had to cut due to massive loss of revenue this year. The only folks who think the economy is great are either on government assistance and never pay for anything or those with so much wealth that they never feel the heat.
I know this is simply a one off example, but my street had a developer build about 20 houses off of a side street a year or so ago. I have seen many “Open House “ signs at the entrance, and I’ve driven down the new street and did not see even one of these homes appear to be lived in. Just this week, for the first time, I noticed the For Sale sign has been switched out for a For Rent sign.
In addition, I found out this same developer purchased land adjacent to my home further down the street. This spring he began the ground work to start this new development. Since the initial flurry of work months ago I have not witnessed another finger being lifted to proceed.
I’m obviously no real estate mogul, but I would imagine the last thing a developer wants to do is rent out a ton of brand new homes he can’t sell while preparing to build even more.

A comprehensive list of 2024 tech layoffs | TechCrunch
A complete list of all the known layoffs in tech, from Big Tech to startups, broken down by month throughout 2024.
techcrunch.com
This is a scary list.
Regardless of your feelings on tech, these are all pretty high paying jobs. This is why I'm keeping my head low and not even bothering yo try and change jobs in this market.
Good info.
If you know a community banker, ask him/her what they think of the state of the economy.
I liked Reagan and Trump.
But unless you plan on digging the Gipper up and propping him up like Biden, I'll go with Trump.
Like a town I go to about once a month or so. A couple of fairly large farms sold out. Big sign went up that warehousing (multiple) was being built beginnning in Spring '23. Put 8 foot chain link fencing all around the property...with the black fabric on it. with a number of large gates for trucks, eqpt. Bulldozers and earth movers came in and started work. About a month later...it stopped. Few months later the eqpt. was gone. Land just sat there for months. Last time I went by they were taking the fence down.
So something went south.
Rate cuts at this point are useless, with respect to the election. Layoffs/firings are coming hard and fast now. 4 people I personally know lost their jobs (tech industry) in the last 2 weeks, and a lot more are coming.
Post Covid pay raises and bonuses are done, and in fact, employers all up and down the spectrum are cutting payroll.

Just about everyone on both sides of the aisle hate Donald Trump. That's how I know he's doing the right things.
Our company has made a pretty firm stance to hire contractors for now, and we're on a "soft" hiring freeze as to avoid layoffs. But they seem to be really favoring these contractors so they can terminate the work at will.
So instead of hiring FTE for IT, we're just getting contractors, and they really aren't as good.
I'd be curious to hear everyone else's line of work and the layoffs. Again, feels like we're just tettering on that cliff. If we lose say, another 500k jobs between now and the end of the year, is that enough to do it. Seems like we can't lose that much more. On TOP of the dollar value these days already pinching more and more house holds
The question didn’t guarantee anything, it said “work to enact”.
Duh. That’s why we’re at such a contentious impasse. About half the country wants federal abortion protections, a smaller faction of loud zealots want federal abortion restrictions, and there’s no consensus around any of it. A D president would sign protections if they made it through Congress, and an R president would sign restrictions. The only reason the ‘leave it to the states’ rhetoric emerged is because most Rs know they have little chance of passing anything federally so are trying to deflect. It doesn’t mean Trump, or any other R president, wouldn’t sign it if they had the opportunity.
We aren’t at an actual impasse. Just a fictional one you’re creating. You’re living in a fictional world. The R presidential candidate had said he would not sign federal legislation on abortion. There’s no chance anything would get through Congress. It’s a nonissue.
It’s not “deflecting” to point out you’re outraging yourself over a fictional position you’ve attributed to Trump.
“Leave it to the states” rhetoric emerged because SCOTUS rightfully tossed Roe as legal nonsense, and the abortion issue now resides with the states.
A threat. They fear him because he does not appease them. He makes them pay their share instead of letting them steal from our treasury. I say now and then... eff Europe and their Beta lumpwristed social states. We should stop carrying their lazy asses.
Complete bull. If Congress set aside their differences, came together and compromised on some like 15-week restriction with exceptions for rape and medical issues, getting bipartisan support enough to pass the filibuster, you’re telling me Donald Trump would veto it to ‘leave it to the states’? Bullshit. You know that. Trump would sign anything Rs put in front of him on this and veto anything Ds do, just like any other partisan. This issue is the exact same as any other issue, we fight over it constantly and either side who thinks they can get something through will try it.
Yea you are right. They are going to vote for Kackling Kamala instead.
Have you checked Zillow or public records to see is they were sold before being put up for rent?
Yea you are right. We all support G schools having books in the library teaching 10yo kids how to give BJs to their fellow 5th graders.
You should continue to run on that issue. Oh let's. not forget your support of the "men can have a baby" narrative.
Quite the drift from why the EV totals for Reagan & Trump are so different. But whatever floats your boat.
According to a study by the Guttmacher Institute, only 1% of women said rape was the reason they wanted an abortion., and only 0.5% said incest was the reason. If I remember correctly, around 75% of women said they wanted an abortion either because a baby interfered with their schooling/work or they just felt like they didn't have the time or finances to take care of a baby.
With interest rates and Bidenflation ravaging the land, renting them out to generate cash flow is a really good idea. They are not cars that lose value when you drive them off the lot. If you can get 3K a month for a short term renter then do it until you find a buyer.
Obviously it depends on the size of the homes but rent, rent to own, or owner financing are all good strategies. When 45/47 wins things will improve.
