    Already in trouble, this war is going to be a major drag on the economy. Chips (both kinds), gas, food, and pretty much everything else will go up in price. More inflation inbound.

    Turns out the golden era is made not of real gold, but of the cheap plastic painted in gold color that you get at the dollar store.

    Was searching for properties and noticed 20-25% price drops on low ends and maybe 30-40% on higher ends houses, ,

    Data from February* when things was relatively Normal Golden Age Business pre-Iran assaults (we've just started warming up )



    " forclosure
    climbed 20% year over year in February, marking the 12th straight month of annual growth—with states across the Midwest and South emerging as the primary distressed hot spots.

    There were a total of 38,840 properties across the U.S. with foreclosure filings, which encompass default notices, scheduled auctions, or bank repossessions, down 4% from January but up 20% compared to February 2025, according to the latest Foreclosure Market Report from ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property data, and real estate analytics..."

    "Foreclosure activity in February marked the twelfth consecutive month of annual increases, extending a gradual upward trend that began early last year,"

    Weird. There's no "show ignored content" button. Go figure. ;)

    Mods, can we rename this, just slightly? :oops:

    “The U.S. military conflict with Iran is quietly draining the American labor market, with Goldman Sachs estimating that the oil price shock triggered by the war will suppress payroll growth by roughly 10,000 jobs per month through the end of the year” - Fortune

    and that was before this new shiny object (Iran debacle) was flashed to divert attention away from the Epstein files.

    Oil was ~ $62 at the end of Q4 2025; since Trump's Iran idiocy, it has been hovering around $100​

    Energy costs cut in half? Nope, they’re way up instead. But don't worry, he definitely cut something in half (and then some).

    four months after Traitor George posted this convenient lie and started this thread
    . the harsh reality sets in.

    Consumer confidence plunged to a record low in April as fears mounted over rising energy prices and the broader impact of the Iran war, according to a University of Michigan survey Friday.

    The university’s headline index of consumer sentiment tumbled to 47.6, down 10.7% from the March survey to its lowest on record. Current conditions and expectations indexes also saw double-digit monthly declines.

    The Likelihood of a Stock Market Crash Taking Shape Under Trump 2.0 Is Rising
    , attrubutable to excessive valuation, or as former Fed Chair, Greenspan, called it irrational exuberance.


    Thanks to the Trump-induced Iran fiasco, the latest flashing object to divert attention away from the Epstein files,
    this catalyst is front and center.
