  1. You won't be able to as in the past; parts will be discontinued and the after market parts will be hard to get if at all; you'll end up getting used parts off wrecked vehicles. This has happened to me with my daily; a 2008 Mazda 6.

  2. Move before your money runs out.

  3. You're right; I VOTED for Trump; these tariffs are LONG overdue.......

  4. Now THAT was a stupid move; if anything he should've tried to grow that market.

  5. The FedEx Office is a different department; they grew it from Kinko's. Shipping is down in part by increased competition from Amazon. Amazon stopped using their services basically....

  6. Very nice and succinct. Also, include ALL of the OSHA regulations.

  7.  @lourdesgraney7878  That's why the debt remains even with a bankruptcy.

  8.  @james6794  Means nothing because the taxes compound so year 1 it's 3% and year 2 will be 3% plus increase on the original tax base

  9. Getting rid of the entitled millennials as well so they can have work/life balance. I hope they enjoy it..........

  10. FedEx is losing business to Amazon; that's another part of their earnings being down.

  11. This scenario does occur and in some cases favorable for both buyer and seller because property values remain higher thus making the area and property more valuable. This works for the buyer IF the buyer's an investor; it's all a write-off and the seller of course walks with a sizable profit. If the buyer is an owner/resident the benefit is retained or perceived value of the property; each deal is different.

  12.  @lorihamlin3604  I'll explain; when you TAX ( tariff ) imports it makes locally produced products cheaper; cheaper locally produced products creates a demand which leads to job creation. It appears to me that you are too young to remember when " Made in America " meant quality. This changed to " Made in Japan " and now " Made in China ". We ( US ) used to produce TV's made by RCA, Zenith and Quasar to name 3 which changed to Japanese products like SONY, Hitachi and Mitsubishi. So, YES, tariffs are a GREAT thing for the US; our economy is about to improve for the better.

  13.  @bpb5541  American labor becomes CHEAPER when you tariff the outside competition. This is what China did to the US.

  14. You're doing the right thing; you preserved your self respect.

  15. Nice reporting.....

  16.  @dianelee346  They've had enough breaks like Spring Break and coffee breaks everyday at Starbucks; give them all a break including a trophy for coming in last.

  17. We're glad you left......

  18. Stop the crap about the boomers; they've had a THIRTY YEAR head start over the millennials. They've had to endure layoffs from IBM, Eastern Airlines; Pan Am; Kmart, Sears, Tyco and SunBeam to name just a few ( I won't even mention jobs lost by the Big 3 in Detroit ) ; they've taken losses in the Great Recession and have seen their jobs SHIPPED overseas as well as seen their stock take a beating in 1987 on " Black Monday "; at this point there isn't a boomer who isn't supporting their millennial children while at the same time coming up with the money to support their parents in assisted living facilities that cost thousands of dollars per month. Know your history before repeating the bullsh!t on social media; you won't find a millennial at Waffle House or Denny's but you'll see the boomers; you know where the millennials go ? They " do " brunch at places that serve mimosas and bloody mary's while having avocado toast and eggs benedict with salmon; the boomers make their coffee at home with a coffee maker and use a thermos while the millennials order their coffee at Starbucks and then pay for it with Apple Pay when they stop to pick it up. So spare us all with violins !!!

  19. Mike, really ? The chick goes to school to make $27,000.00 a year ? Dishwashers make more; my heart doesn't bleed.

  20. True, the only problem is the working class employees are to ones that pay the price.

  21.  @Cummata  as my last line stated; each deal is different. The concessions are not anyone’s business really….
    2
  22.  @Cummata  No problem; just remember even if the house sits for awhile the investor is still writing off depreciation plus any expenses and upkeep. Real Estate is arguably the best investment vehicle at the moment; that’s both good and bad depending on where you are on the property ladder.

  23. The tariffs are being used as a bargaining tool; hence, on again off again.

  24. You're making a ton of assumptions because it's been debunked that investors like TricCon, American Homes 4 Rent and Invitation as well as Blackstone own more than 30% of all family homes across the US; that number also includes the Mom and Pops.

  25. But your kids " decided to NOT take the approved loans " ( and good for them; you raised them well ) so why can't others ? I'm a former student and I walked away from these loans and paid for my schooling by living frugally by shopping at Dollar Stores; buying my furniture at Goodwill and making my coffee at home ( no Starbucks for me ) so in other words I have no sympathy. Remember, EVERYONE of us was at one time 17 and 18years old and we faced the same decisions and challenges.

  26.  @jakoblarson4597  You left out the rest of his sentence to include liens on property, tax refunds, etc. I bet they had hard time in life because their credit was f*cked. They can't lease a place or car and have to pay everything in cash because of no access to credit.

  27.  @superstringsbro  if you leave the country you more than likely escalate the situation and you may end up a felon and be extradited back to the United States to face charges. Most first world countries are a part of a treaty and honor each others laws so in other words; you can run but you can’t hide. Unless you want to live in Haiti with sewage running on the streets that you live…..

  28.  @superstringsbro yeah, like I wrote the IRS and the US Government always wins; get comfortable in your broken down Winnebago RV or living in some mobile home park. The government always wins….😂😂😂😂😂

  29.  @Norm475  Everything is designed to fail especially now; it keeps the economy going because people are forced to upgrade and keep buying. At your age you should have figured this out already; I shouldn't have to explain it to you. Keeping parts in stock longer than a certain age ties up space and money; this is why parts are " on order ". Nice little comment !!!

  30.  @Csharpflat5  Why is comprehension LACKING ? Where in my post did I write that you CANNOT get parts for older cars ? I wrote that over time it will be HARDER to find parts; read my post AGAIN.

  31.  @frankcorrea8691  I've seen machine shops LITERALLY build new parts from specs of the broken one. I always like to check out the old classics to see what's under the hood. The classics that are ALL original ( OEM parts ) always go for more money otherwise they turn them into Hot Rods.

  32. All of what Michael states starting at the 12:40 mark is correct; the sellers are still in la la land amid fewer qualified buyers.

  33. That's GREAT news........

  34. Since the value of the dollar has gone down; what happens to the cost of living ?????? Did you stop to think ???? The original post is correct; the cost of living has gone up….

  35. So the video evidence is not true; has your grocery bill up ? What about your car insurance ? What about your rent or mortgage and property taxes ? Record layoffs in the tech sector; should I continue ? He’s merely pointing out the obvious; clearly he mentioned the mall in Aventura, Florida which is more of a unicorn. So this just tells me you’re all about selective hearing….

  37. Surfside is the reason why HOA fees are going up; HOA's are trying to comply with new laws that mandate inspections of the buildings.

  38. 80% of divorces are initiated by women.

  39.  @debbiec6216  You're suggesting that 60% of people that shop at Walmart have expendable cash ???🤣🤣🤣 People that have money do not go to Walmart. A very small fraction ( Warren Buffet types ) shop at Walmart because they're cheap, smart with money or both; where did you get 40% ???

  40. The corporate investors have the money and wherewithal to " manage " the market. Rent is NOT coming down anytime soon overall ( I'm not interested in hearing peoples anecdotal experiences ); the real estate investment firms will just keep units off the market to maintain rental price levels and the loss of revenue on units sitting empty will be a very nice TAX write off so anybody that thinks the tail wags the dog is in for a big surprise; these people don't build units without a long term view; they can and do control the market. You either pay the rent at current rates or live in your car.

  41. At the 3:22 mark; that view pretty much BLEW up his position; a 1.7% drop in home price isn't even worth mentioning; over 440,000 people moved to Florida alone. There is NO way you can build to keep up with that demand especially when you already had housing deficit to begin with.......
    2
  42. @Numbered--Weighed--Divided Insignificant; especially as it pertains to Florida. The price for homes were and are astronomical and simply put; if you want $10K for a car you ask for the moon and the stars i.e. $19K and you let the buyer or market forces talk you down.

  44. Student loans could always be financed; it's the fact that the government guaranteed the student would get the loan that led to universities and colleges to come up with dummy programs and degrees. As a result; we have dumb people that think they're smart because they went to school and got a degree in Art History and now they're an expert in everything.

  45. It'll catch up to him when he tries to make any kind of major purchase. The things you don't want on your record; eviction, foreclosure, bankruptcy, repossession; misdemeanors and especially felonies. The government has ALL the time in the world.

  46. Agreed.....

  47. Bidenomics; this country cannot survive the tyranny of this evil administration if reelected. Trump 2024 !!!!!!

  48. Nicole from Zillow should've prefaced her comment about the FUTURE generations not current with regard to home ownership; I believe this is what she meant.

  49. The mismanagement of the US economy is the result of this and it's affecting the world economy. The US is the world's largest consumer nation; if the US doesn't do well then Germany ( among others ) can't sell their BMW''s, MB's and Volkswagen to name three; same is true for Japan; slow sales for Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi add S. Korea to the list with their Kias and Hyundais. China's economy is affected because it can't or has a hard time selling it's manufactured goods to the US. In short; we need a massive turnaround when it comes to the current administration. The current fiscal policy by the Biden Administration is a colossal failure not to mention its foreign policy where our tax dollars are being expended elsewhere while US citizens are suffering and struggling to make ends meet..

  50.  @nicholasalteri3144  The younger generation generally have their parents ( boomers ) to fall back on while the boomers have to find the money to pay for assisted living facilities for their parents. All generations have cell phones and we all need the internet just to get TV so in short a gallon of milk cost the same for boomers as it does for millennials.
