Maybe. Or Bernie agreed to a nice hooker annuity while he lives out his days. I mean, he’s old and has no family. Kinda close to iceman’s but on doing all the drugs once he got old enough.

My mom had outlived all her friends, and most of her family beyond the kids Saw some media about a community helping some lady celebrate her 107th birthday. She was probably super lonely.. All her siblings and life long friends had to be gone... hell even her kids would likely be in their 80s if still alive... Ya, I don't want to outlive everyone..

My uncle, who was the ultimate people person, outlived his wife--who had severe Alzheimer's and whom he cared for at home--and all 3 of his kids--AIDs, cancer, and likely suicide. No grandkids. He wound up in assisted living, mentally clear, and my wife used to have long phone conversations with him, until the number stopped working. After he died--we learned about it after his obituary appeared in the local paper, we found he had a devoted woman friend. Once a charmer, always a charmer--to the end. Still, how sad for a man who loved people as much as he did to have lost so many. And his losses started early--he was orphaned as a child. I never saw him sad or angry.

Lost my grandmother this week. She was 92, my grandfather died 15 years ago. All of the kids/grandkids are at least four hours away.
She got COVID and had to be hospitalized, and even though she was recovering just refused food/water and any treatment. She lived in the same house for 70 years, and it was clear she could never go back and decided to go out on her own terms. Sad situation all around

If I was a better shot with the BB gun, I would take out all of the neighbors lights that they think need to be left on all fucking night long. Apparently, all the new work from homers that just moved to the mountains from shithole cities think that their Range Rover is going to be stolen any night now so they must keep it illuminated to scare off the vampire car thieves. God I hope we have a really cold, snowy, shitty winter that doesn't end until late May to scare off the riff raff.

I’d learn to live with them. Housing market is proper fucked with rate increases and the current recession no one wants to admit exists. They aren’t selling anytime soon.

Around here it's not selling that's difficult.. It's that finding another place anywhere anyone would want to live is beyond impossible still.

The point is interest rates have doubled and home valuations are falling. Average list nationwide is dropping by 5-10k per month and interest rates are rising by .75 percent pretty much monthly as well. The spigot of cheap easy financing has ended and the recession is real. This isn't a throw the plebes a bone scenario. This is a the music has stopped scenario and everyone who just bought a million dollar piece of real estate isn't selling that and moving, and they probably aren't getting a HELOC to go buy that sprinter van, go on a trip, or buy useless shit.

Real estate is one aspect of the economy.
263k jobs were added - https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm
Unemployment is 3.5 percent
GDP is flat to slightly down in real terms and up in raw dollar terms - https://www.bea.gov/news/2022/gross-...ts-revised-2nd
You're correct that many will not move from current properties for a bit, but at least in my hood I've seen more action recently than in the past 6 months (no clue why). There are a lot of very positive measures that don't correlate with a recession. Housing and tech will see corrections, but I don't think anyone would argue either were in sane spots.

Same thing happening here. The city dwellers that have moved north to escape COVID have bought/renovated houses or built new ones that have super bright fuck off lights all over them that must be on sensors. As soon as it gets dark they pop on and are on all night. These blobs of light are now all over the place on our once dark mountainsides.
