Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
:jbhmm:


Most of this board leans Democratic.

A reason that you don't necessarily have posters blaming politicians and focusing their ire on Corporations legally buying politicians is because Democrats at least TRY to do Something about the money in politics.

HR1 really is the most important bill in American history.

If Schumer don't bring this shyt to a vote we're doomed

Being mad at players in the market operating within the rules to maximize their gain, while looking the other way as the refs betray their oaths and stab tax payers in the back is beyond backwards to me.:manny:
Always will be.

... and getting money out won stop it, and dems dont really want to pass hr1, far too many poison pills in it for them to be serious.
It makes sense though, they receive majority of the dark money now.

Good Discussion -

- daps to whoever said we need to expand congress. HoR has been the same number of reps for 100 years. Our population has grown more than 3 times since then. We get less and less representation from our legislators .


- Lumber is a bad example of inflationary pressure on housing. Short term supply shock is not inflation. A lot of the rise in costs is due to supply shock from covid slow downs. Furthermore none of that has to do w the money supply. Fully expect the costs to come back down once we're back at full employment and supply chains are back at full capacity.

We;re aslo gonna see a supply shock w appliances and cars ect because of the micro chip shortage.

To that point, apparently there isn't even a lumber shortage, per se (according to Planet Money on NPR). There's plenty of lumber, just a bottleneck in the supply chain. The factories that prepare the wood are making a killing right now.

somebody mentioned something like this on the pod...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/05/07/jobs-report-labor-shortage-analysis/

Some people just don't want to go back to the shytty jobs they had before or rather stay home with the kids or went back to school...there are al ot of factors in this "shortage"

If youre staying home w the kids, to even consider going back youre gonna need to find a job that pays a living salary + whatever it costs to send you kids to childcare.


I still got about an hour left in the podcast. How often do yall do this?

Re - Moving for a better cost of living:

West Virginia is offering 10K or some shyt to remote workers who move there. So you can live that good life w all them rednecks :russ:


Moving from NY to Ark - Everything is more expensive in NY but you dont need a car, car insurance, gas. Those are added expenses youll need in arkansas that probably makes it close to even for a $15 an hour worker.
