Eureka!!!

I drive past a trailer park on the way to work. Who owns the land? What are the costs? What are the margins?

I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I know next to nothing about it.

Do you?

I know ppl who focus on those. I have avoided only because trailers depreciate over time. But the ROI from a cashflow assessment is off the charts.

If your manager is comfortable with them, and you have a good opportunity, hard to turn it down.

Oh yeah. You're the one who said he is okay with the flawed president we have now. Better get busy campaigning and convincing these unskilled workers why they should vote for your man instead of Trump. Right now Trump has large support from many in the working class.

They are skilled workers as you and others depend on them in order to live your daily and weekly lives. Maybe you should have more respect for other people.

This is a hot mess of jumped conclusions, poor comprehension, and misguided thinking.

Do you define skilled worker as an employee others rely on to help live their lives?

Yea not sure I want the metal box, but the land it’s sitting on interests me.

I’ve constructed a scenario (fantasy, maybe) in my mind where I own all the land parcels, and the tenants own the trailers.

That seems like it could be pretty sweet. Not sure if feasible.

Those arrangements are commonplace. This is the safest and most hassle free approach.

I don’t see anyway there is not a correction to what has happened to home prices in the last couple of years. I think when the recession comes the housing market crash will be severe. But I agree with you…at this point there doesn’t seem to be much concern about it.

The median income definitely doesn’t line up with the median home cost.

Honestly, screw the Saudis. We were also in Afg for over 2 decades because of actions from SA citizens. They're basically the Clampetts of the earth

Although I share that sentiment, this is just one more leg sawed off the chair... Our economy/currency is quickly being abandoned thanks to these suicidal sanctions.

This is what happens when you give people money to do nothing. Factor in current inflation and now it's not worth it to many. The fact is your can still hire virtually anyone off the street to do the job, that hasn't changed, the people willing to work has.

I'm sure someone with a proven record as VP could find a job in the current climate faster than a manager at a restaurant could fill openings for the reasons already discussed above. That still doesn't refute that the unskilled talent pool is infinitely larger, it just illustrates the self imposed disfunction in our system currently. It's the price we and they pay for idiotic government policy the last couple of years. We corrected the course but it's too little too late

My wife sent me a line to a couple of articles about the state of the economy ... very unusual for her. One dealt with workforce participation, it had some interesting facts - particularly about baby boomers retiring; that and a couple of other things started a chain of thought for me. For several decades we've been heavily invested in both members in a marriage working, and paying a lot of extra costs ... childcare, transportation, clothing, ready to eat meals, etc that become requirements with the second income. So what if during covid, people figured out the economics ... what that second income was costing. If companies really are having to up salaries, perhaps a lot of people are saying two incomes aren't worth it; we can do fine on one, and the workplace is not fun or even mildly enjoyable these days. What if we are seeing a reset where people are deciding that one income families are what they want, and that all the productivity oriented management styles have stripped the workplace of any place they want to be?

What if it's as simple of more women and men taking up porn as it's become decentralized and created six and seven figure incomes for low skilled attributes.

I've been thinking of doing my own onlyfans site to make some extra bucks.

That's definitely another possibility. I'd almost bet we have a real flourishing underground economy ... jobs and services that the IRS and the federal bean counters never see on their radar. If jobs are going unfilled and it can't all be covered with government payments, then people are earning income somewhere else in other ways or figuring that what income they do have coming in is suitable. Maybe a lot of people see it like me; I retired early which wasn't my choice (thanks to business in the 90s); later when it was possible to find engineering work again, I had enough income and absolutely no desire to to return to the disfunction known as a workplace.

Interesting. But if that is the case I see the recession creating the need to work again.
