Over at AoS, there’s a discussion of the looming crash in the commercial real estate market. As entire portfolios of loans come due, lenders are concerned that landlords will not be able to raise rents enough to cover today’s higher interest rates and will default. Given the weak demand for commercial space, this seems likely. I wonder which banks and institutions will be declared “too big to fail” this time? How much impact on inflation will a gov’t bail out have?
I just hope that the student loan defaulters get their federal bailout money before the banks collapse and bank bailouts commence -- otherwise, that would be a tragedy if there weren’t enough money to go around.
After this last round of indictments, I’m coming around to the idea that Trump has lost and ought to get out of the race. Are these indictments mostly/all politically driven and bullshit? Yeah, but just like I think the 2020 election was at best case unfair -- and worse case fraudulent -- Trump lost and Brandon became POTUS. The fact that he is hated this much by those I consider my enemies, doesn’t make him the guy to lead the nation. The good that he did in his four years isn’t going to be repeated in 2025.
The GOP tho best run on MAGA and promised payback, and they best live up to that with actions, or they are done.
While I appreciate what Trump has done, I don’t think he’s the right person to lead our country at this time. I don’t think he’s learned enough about choosing the right people to work under him, as well as the depth and extent of the swamp. If elected, he will come with so much baggage that he won’t be able to accomplish anything.
Them coons would get more work done than 20 cats.
Good morning, GN.
I can’t really argue with you on this.
Happy “Working Coons” Tuesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven!
Not only would 20 cats in the office not get any work done, they would destroy the productivity of the rest of the staff.
Pampering cats is far more important than mere human work. Just ask any cat.

I would laugh so hard though if he pulled a Grover Cleveland, though. It would be a hilarious 4 years if, God Willing, I live to see it all !!
