Cost of repairs is going up

Tags: Current Events

The damage from the fires and storms is starting to take its financial toll as people are talkying up the damage so far, and the tarrifs for wood, steel and that minerals for drywalls are pricing some people out of rebuikding their homes.

Is this where the next recession starts?

I'm a big believer in conspiracies. I believe a lot of these fires are set by terrorists. Bankrupting the state and a easy crime to get away with because usually there are no cameras so unless there is an eye witness to get a license plate number they are rarely caught.

IMHO there will be a financial crisis that starts in Turkey.

The Turkish Lira has fallen dramatically and in an effort to avert further collapse the Turkish Central Bankr raised its interest rates to 24%. The interest rate was increased by 625 basis points. The Turkish Lira is down 60 % year to date.

As a basis for comparison with other out of whack countries :Aegentina's interest rates are at 60% and the failed state of Venezuela is at 20%.


Right now if things turns bad in Turkey, it could spread into Eastern Europe and Italy.

I am going to get ready to start shorting Italian Banks and other EU countries that may have exposure to Italy and Turkey, Poland and Spain.

@raspberry you do realize that the turkish Lira is falling due to sanctions against Turkey. Trump sanctioned turkey because Erdogan would not free american prisoners being held in turkey as political prisoners in

And it won't be a 'bullet train' in segments since they will have to use existing tracks because Jerry is too stupid to understand that land through SF and LA cannot be acquired unless the state wants to spend trillions on this stupid train. So it will 'bullet' down the central valley, but stall out when getting closer to urban areas.....

Cost over runs and it won't actually go as fast as once described. Thanks for the bullshit train, Jerry......

California has driven away so much business with its policies.

As manufacturing and other industries depart, the jobs left are hospitality and other mostly minimum wage positions. Then we wonder why our poverty level is so high....DUH.....

Learn basic economics.....low wage people pay less taxes...more government positions mean more pensions that we do not have the money to fund. So tax revenue shrinks and costs continue to rise.

The train is being pushed to cut down on carbon footprint. You can see what California is doing by giving incentives to buy electric cars and making people pay a higher tax on gas driven and older hybrids .

But now California is removing many of the electric and hybrid stickers for access to the car pool lane. Once again a bait and switch. Many people opted for these vehicles for car pool access. Now only NEW such vehicles will get the stickers.

Of course, the air over California just hovers here and we don't get any drift from the rest of the world....so we have pristine air and no one can mess it up...oh crap, that's right, China is one of the largest polluters in the world....but their air stays over their country...

Angler,

Don't worry so much about those pensions. I mean the last numbers I saw on those underfunded government pensions put the amount underfunded at $15,000 for each person living in California. So 40 million people times $15,000 per person really is not that big of a number!. Sarcasm fully intended!
