    ...Biden taking all credit to himself for higher than expected new job
    numbers.

    FFS...

    First, large part of those new jobs are government hiring, 73k.

    Second, Biden is spending money USA doesn't have like there's no
    tomorrow. That's apparently what Bidenomics means.

    That of course raises US debt & inflation. Bidenomics is fighting
    against Fed which has to raise rates to fight the effects of excess
    spending.

    This statement may bite him in the arse come Presidential election...
    since the economy is likely to crash before that with the higher Fed rates.

    Trump may have a great slogan in his campaign next year with "It's no
    accident. It's Bidenomics".

    This is what I talked about few days back.
    We have been borrowing from our kids' future and grand kids' as well.
    I hope the Feds got balls and stick to their plan to bring things out of control.
    I hated a discussion I had recently with one of my kids when I was told it's becoming more difficult for younger generation to do well on their own and things are mainly decided now on passing generation wealth.

    Yep, the way US economy works it's probably not sustainable in long run.

    Yep, he should make a will to PeteWasLucky family. After all Gracs is practically eating at your kids' dinner table.

    This reminds me of recent talk in Finland about scrapping inheritance
    tax, which will remain just talk. There's a strong objection on Finnish discussion forums by socialists - apparently one shouldn't inherit at
    all... it's "unfair" and adds to "inequality". One hasn't done anything
    to "deserve" it. So inheritances should all go to the state, to be
    spread between our next generation of immigrants. Or at the very least
    taxes should be significantly higher.

    You know, all it is, is an expression of reality. Now, for many reality
    is either scary, or unsatisfactory, and many eager demagogues have made
    careers out of telling malcontents that they're just as good--and
    perhaps better--than those who are demonstrably more successful and any
    given endeavor.

    Reparations is what is extorted by force from a nation defeated in

    What people here in favor of reparations are talking about is really
    more a form of class action tort lawsuit. They just don't know it, or care.

    In the case of the US it can probably continue this way so long as the
    US currency is viewed as the de facto trading currency. Because it is
    perceived as a relatively "safe haven currency" as compared to all other national currencies simply by world economic momentum it continues along
    in this role, and the wily political leadership here knows that it can
    continue to issue dole chits, euphemistically described as "emergency
    rent assistance", free lunch (and in some cases, breakfast, for school
    kids, unwarranted tax breaks to favored groups, etc.


    I don't have kids or grandkids, so I'll just borrow from the future

    You know, though, I *do* have a kid, but I've never really gotten all
    weepy over what kind of a world they'll have after my lifetime. They

    There's both state and federal inheritance tax here in the US. It is
    kinda window-dressing, since it is relatively easy to minimize, or even
    to defeat. The intent is to pay lip service the demands for
    redistribution of private assets, which--we must face it--is just about everyone who has no personal assets to speak of.

    In the US, that's a lot of people. So by having an inheritance tax on
    the books, it rhetorically taxes the wind out of their sails.

    This is what I talked about few days back.
    We have been borrowing from our kids' future and grand kids' as well.

    Yep, the way US economy works it's probably not sustainable in long run.
    Having "world currency" helps. Otherwise the inflation could be
    ginormous with all the money printing.
    In the case of the US it can probably continue this way so long as the
    US currency is viewed as the de facto trading currency. Because it is perceived as a relatively "safe haven currency" as compared to all other national currencies simply by world economic momentum it continues along
    in this role, and the wily political leadership here knows that it can continue to issue dole chits, euphemistically described as "emergency
    rent assistance", free lunch (and in some cases, breakfast, for school
    kids, unwarranted tax breaks to favored groups, etc.


    I don't have kids or grandkids, so I'll just borrow from the future
    of yours.

    Hahaha

    You know, though, I *do* have a kid, but I've never really gotten all
    weepy over what kind of a world they'll have after my lifetime. They
    need to figure it out, just as every previous generation has.

    If they can't or won't, they're pretty puny.

    more :)

    Yep, he should make a will to PeteWasLucky family. After all Gracs is

    I denied it's the case although the numbers show otherwise.

    This is a very interesting and mysterious topic.

    First, if population is not increasing overall--and in places like PDX
    the population is down--this would tend to imply that the number of
    units available is not the problem: it is something else.

    However, if the overall population is constant or down, it *is* possible
    that one thing that's happening is a rearrangement of dwelling density.
    That a wave of young adults who want to live on their own is hitting the
    market for separate units. Formerly they had lived in their parent's
    house, and now enter the market.

    E.g., let's say a family has 4 kids each about a year apart. Lets say
    that as they hit 20, they each move out successively. That would mean
    that the population remains the same, but 4 additional units are needed.
    I suspect that this is what's going on.

    If one finds this acceptable, it might possible to add a decent ADU
    (auxiliary dwelling unit) to one's property and let their kid live there
    for reduced, or no, rent. It would also be possible to find an upscale
    multiple (duplex, triplex, quad) and set it up the same way.

    Always new challenges... :^)
