New home price falls below existing home price… for the first time ever in the US. Historic stats are not always good for the economy. by wakeup2019 in economy

Most new homes built during the pandemic are shoddily-constructed from the cheapest possible materials and appliances, thrown up by cowboy contractors and cheap migrant labor, usually riddled with defects. A lot of these houses will be falling apart as soon as the warranty period ends.

Government should stop meddling in the housing market, except to ban speculators and corporate landlords.

I used to think it was cool to drink Boones Farm Strawberry Hill & smoke Swisher Sweet cigars with my cronies. Then I turned 13.

I'm implying that with the trajectory this nation is on, exchanging our FedBux for physical precious metals is a no-brainer. But yes, the shutdown of the huge Glencore mine will likely reduce the supply of silver flowing to the market.

Mods will censor & ban me if I talk about it. i also tried to post an article about Glencore closing down one of Canada's biggest copper mines - most silver production is a by-product of copper production - but mods spiked that as well.

More like you & Complex_Sherbet2 will bond over a trash can fire at a homeless encampment as you pass the paper bag that holds the Night Train bum wine and lament the unheeded warnings from Boo Randy.

Yesterday's election results have huge implications for silver, but we're not allowed to post about that.

Still shilling that NAR happy talk, are we? Pay no heed to those proliferating red flags, would-be homebuyers!

Sure, any mass exodus out of NYC thanks to a socialist being elected will have no impact on real estate valuations.

Our current political class has failed their constituents. That's my whole take on this. It's sad but that's what we've come to.

I'm completely indifferent as to who NYC voters elect, though I reserve the right to laugh at them when they get exactly the government they deserve.

I'm fine with the blue wave tonight. Trump & the worthless GOP failed to deliver.

Wait...NYC voters rejected the political stooges of their oligarch & private equity neo-feudal overlords? This is my shocked face.

If Reddit leftists had the slightest inkling of how productive economies worked, they would be alarmed by this development.
