They say the Economy is okay. I beg to differ.

I was laid off from my job. Ive been looking for 4 months. A few interviews here and there but it gets hard to get rejection letter after rejection letter. Im going through job agencies and Indeed etc. There arent many jobs and when you apply you are against lots of other applicants applying. Im older and I think there is also job discrimination. Just feeling discouraged 😞

Hang in there. Hopefully Trump gets elected and the Republicans control the house and Senate. I have been where you are now. I'm a teamster but the Republicans have always done better for the working man.

@Baremine Elect Trump,watch tarriffs on lumber rise even further,. Watch housing as investment increase, waych housing prices increase further.

@MethDozer but we have our own timber so tariffs shouldn't effect the price of a house. The housing market was better under Trump.

@Baremine Oh but it does sir. Oh but it does. The major contributor to the high lumber prices these days is draconian tarriffs on Canadian lumber.

The housing market was not better under trump. trust me I been looking under trump and even before. It wasn't really any better. Nor does the President control the housing market. Nice try though.

@Baremine Higher material costs=less building and more expensive construction.
