Yesterday a friend of mine was telling me about what he had seen and heard while spending the last three years taking care of his mom in her final illness (cancer) in MD. Tommy is a divorced AF retiree with a minimal disability rating so he was able to take care of his mom and listen to all of the family news. His mom is Greek so she got news from all of her relatives of what was going on all over the northeast and repeated it to Tommy and he gave me a summary of what he heard.
A lot of people are getting trapped with declining house prices because no one wants to deal with ever increasing SALT.
Clawbacks on tax breaks for starting businesses in the northeast are as big a problem as in CA.
Job openings and wage increases are pathetic compared to the nation as a whole.
What I would like to know is how much of what Tommy told me is broken out in national statistics and what justification, if any, is being given for destroying the Blue Wall on the east coast?
