I started buying bowls to wrap my own burritos since the burritos were getting so small, and then I thought this is loving stupid and just quit going there.

Just wait until it finishes talking and say agent. If the response tries to imply you need to tell it info first just say agent again and repeat so long as it isnt in an obvious loop and then have someone with at least the equivalent to a functioning brainstem if not frontal lobe transfer you over.

You lose nothing since you can rarely get where you need by switchboard anyways and it doesn't send them any of your info so you'll have to tell them all the details once you get to someone.

Edit: Also yeah shrinkflation is stupid busywork just loving raise the sticker price every time you cowards.

lol there was a dumpy rear end unflipped non-remodeled 2BR/2Ba house with a pretty bad kitchen that was going up for sale next to my apartment and i thought maybe it’d get listed for <850 cuz it’s pretty small and not exactly family friendly. well... it just went up for 1 mill

with like 8% mortgage rates lol

so this place got 21 offers and looking like it’s selling for 1.3m lol

housing is still hosed
sorry for housing chat, i don't care much for it myself but it's kinda one of those things I just found and in awe

final sale price: $1.65 million dollars. america is saved :patriot:

since i'm a perma-renter, my landlord sold the building and/or brought in a new small-mid cap management company to run it. hope they don't suck. had about a zillion people come into my apartment to take a bunch of measurements and inspection poo poo, :rip:. god bless rent control

it's pretty much standard for everyone to be on video at my guvmint job. i like it because i'm very expressive with body language and speak a lot with strictly hand gestures. i dont care if other people are on video or not though but most people are if it's an participative meeting.

if it's a meeting that i'm not actually participating/leading (like a training/town hall or something), i'll keep video off so i can just vape constantly.

Camera meetings require extra time to make sure I'm visually presentable and the background windows don't have too much glare. Have to remind the help to not make noise while cleaning the kitchen, stop the leaf blowers on this side of the manor, don't run the engines on the antique cars, etc.

Huge pain in the rear end, let's just do voice and share technical documents instead of dumb faces, agreed.

The Fed Since 2020:

1. Mar 2020: Inflation won’t be a problem

2. Jan 2021: Inflation is “transitory”

3. Sept 2021: Interest rates won’t rise until 2024

4. Jan 2022: Recession is needed to lower inflation

5. Dec 2022: Disinflation has begun

6. Feb 2023: A “soft landing” is possible

7. Mar 2023: Banking system is “stable”

8. NOW: Fed staff “no longer expects a recession”

Kali Ma Shakti de!
so i stopped looking at or posting about reverse repo because no one else seems to care



it increased steadily for a year because ??? (except for a brief reversal at the start of the ukraine war, due to ???), topped out at just over 2 trillion every day (hit this limit because ????), stayed steady at that rate for a solid year, while inflation and then interest rates went nuts, because of factors such as ???? and ???, and now it's finally declined for two months straight, likely due to ???

i swear the last time i even saw someone mention it was like a year ago, and the story then was "hey don't worry about it, means nothing really"

like look at this poo poo in context. sometimes it just does that?? normal and fine. system's healthy.

i'm guessing whoever has 1.6m+ to blow on a small non-remodelled house probably can buy it without a mortgage all cash? idk. either that or some computer toucher that makes like 500k a year that can afford $11k+ a month and dropping over 1.2m on interest payments.

but yes as soon as rates are even slightly cut they'll all go up up UP forever.

well it's a lowkey bail-out for banks and basically means financial institutions have no liquidity or think its too risky to spend liquidity

we're in a p e r m a b u l l market thanks to joe bidenomics who has saved america so banks have liquidity again. nothing to see. move along citizen and enjoy your bidenomics
