'I'm embarrassed for James Taylor'

[EvilCat Breath]

Up to this point, James Taylor's worst moment was being trucked off to France after the nightclub massacre. He sang You've Got A Friend. Embarrassing all around.

 

[whitehall]

He was really singing about Hellfire and Brimstone that Faux Joe and his band of Demons are going to bring upon America.

Maybe he was singing about the cold winter we will face with high fuel oil prices "lord knows when the cold wind blows it will turn your head around".

Reminds me of the "victory" party from the Canada on Strike South Park episode.

He's so vain he probably thought the song was about him.

No stupid, rising rates keep many from buying homes.

It didn't stop Digital Drifter. I sold cars from 1987 until 1995. We were excited if we got a rate under 9%. People still bought cars.

Stagflation comes after Inflation.

Possible.

Which is why near zero rates harmed seniors. I can recall getting 8% rates on savings. What do you suppose negative rates would have done?

Negative rates were pushed to further push people into the markets.

We than go back to our Fiat Currency and all the goodies promised by the political class with the citizens demanding more. Officially, a fiat currency should only have deficit spending during recessions or poor economic times. Then the budget balanced when good times come back. We skewered things when we increased social programs in immense number and other ways. Big government divided us when tax cuts came up and come up.

So? Nobody cares that you are a used car huckster. Sounds about right.

I proved your claim to be a lie.

Wow, sold cars, ain't that a shock....NOT.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

So despite rates going up people will continue doing what they have always done.

You're joking, right?

There's always going to people here and there making home purchases, but there will be a massive drop off should rates climb much higher.
When I purchased my first home there was literally no new homes being built, which not only wiped out much of the construction industry, but when new homes are built there's a trickle-down effect. People buying new homes tend to purchase new furniture, appliances, etc. The economy came to a grinding halt, and it took years to get out of it. This was from the late 70's until the mid 80's.

It bums me out to see musiciians I've admired all my life come out as activists. I don't care what your political views are, if you are a singer then sing and keep your views to yourself.

Trump argued at the very same time that we had the best economy ever and argued for negative rates. Those two do NOT make for a valid economic policy.

It didn't stop you. It didn't stop me.

There has never been a time where there were "no new homes built". Contractors did not close up and go to work for KMart.

You think they should be gave away?

 

[BS Filter]

James Taylor has always been the go to guy for suburban pubescent girls and limp boys.

 

[whitehall]

Maybe Taylor was singing about Biden's popularity "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend".

 

[Thinker101]

You think they should be gave away?

Not at all, we all know the reputation of sales-people, especially car sales-people. Although Bidung seems to feel they should be "gave" away with tax credits.

But it stopped millions. As I mentioned, new home construction came to a virtual standstill.

In the late 70's through most of the 80's realtors had a new term they used to try and lure home buyers. It was called 'creative financing'. They worked with loan officers to hunt down private individual investors that would lend buyers small short term, 3-5 years usually, loans that were set up as interest only monthly payments that ended with a balloon at the end of the term. They were awful, but they were the only way a good deal of the population could get into a home purchase.

Play as the Titanic sinks

Why do musicians do that anyway?

Many people do not like the process. I understand that. Some have made attempts to change that but as long as people wish to trade a vehicle in, there will always be a negotiating aspect.
