From the NY Post:
Home prices have risen a whopping 79% in five years in this state — and it’s nowhere near Florida or Texas
Homebuyers are grabbing their winter gear and flocking to far-flung Maine — where they’ve managed to drive up the median home price a bone-chilling 78.5% in just five short years, a new report reveals.
According to freshly published findings from industry news site Pro Tool Reviews, The Pine Tree State has experienced the most significant increase in median home prices of any of the fifty since 2019 — jumping from $219,000 to $391,000.
The explosive growth comes in spite of the fact that Maine’s population has trickled upward a mere 0.32% since 2008, according to research conducted by Pew Charitable Trust — well below states like Texas (1.52%) and Florida (1.34%), better known for their heated housing markets in recent years.
Neighboring New Hampshire slid into second place on the list, experiencing a 76.4% rise in average residential real estate prices since 2019.
The new wave of northern New England homesteaders don’t appear to be struggling to make their purchases either — The Granite State ranked highest for size of downpayment, boasting $72,750 on average.
Another state in the region took third place on the overall list — Rhode Island, which experienced a 73% jump.

Sounds like vacation homes in Maine is part of the reason. Still amazing. When does it fall apart?
It doesn’t surprise me. Traditional Americans want to live among those that have the same beliefs so they’re flocking to these areas. They’re finding it in the more rural confines of New England. As I’ve mentioned a few days ago, I’ve been looking for a get-away type place in the Poconos and the prices are at “WTF” levels.

The most striking proposals were for the elimination of medical debt for millions of Americans; the “first-ever” ban on price gouging for groceries and food; a cap on prescription drug costs; a $25,000 subsidy for first-time home buyers; and a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life.
The last item followed a suggestion earlier this month from JD Vance, the GOP vice-presidential nominee, that the credit be raised from $2,000 per child to $5,000. Harris is also calling for restoring the Biden administration’s child tax credit that expired at the end of 2021, which raised the benefit for most families from $2,000 per child to $3,000.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”
― Alexander Fraser Tytler (18th Century England)
Big government Socialist government universal healthcare for the 65 will complain about any medical benefit for the under 65.

I’ve posted the Tytler sequence here a few times. We’re in the latter stages, obviously. The fork in the road was the Obammy administration. The transformation has taken root and that woman will pave the road to dependence.
The U.S. spends a lot of money every year — more than $6 trillion.
Nearly half of those trillions go to just three programs:
Social Security,
Medicaid and
Medicare.
These are the biggest government entitlements — benefits paid or given out to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

Which is why we needed to stop at the earlier age, “From liberty to abundance.”
But boomer couldn’t help themselves, and like an amplifier, has increased the rate at which we devolve.

You don’t have socialist medicine for anyone but Boomer cause Boomer isn’t the sharing type.
You don’t get a tax break on that overpriced cape you are struggling to pay for cause boomer doesn’t pay his fair share of taxes on his 4 bedroom colonial he bought for 30k when Eisenhower was President.
You pay a ton of taxes because someone younger has to support boomer’s Pension, something boomer kept for themselves while voting against anyone younger getting one.
This election season we have the National Socialists vs the International Socialists.
Is it possible that for the first time in US history we have two candidates with IQs under 110 running against each other? Truly historic election.
Eddie,
You underestimate the stupidity and perversity of many New Deal programs. Those days were still worse policy than what we’ve got now. (See for example: Folsom’s “New Deal or Raw Deal” https://www.independent.org/publications/tir/article.asp?id=770) Fortunately the Supreme Court struck down a few of the worst New Deal programs, and I wonder if history will repeat and the Supreme Court would even strike down some Harris/Trump edicts.

Phoenix, this was the moment. Listen to Ross Perot. But more importantly, look at Bush and Clinton smirking and shaking their heads like the aholes they were. They were in agreement in laying the foundation to ship jobs outside our borders. It was a team effort.
We have got to stop sending jobs overseas. It’s pretty simple: If you’re paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers and you can move your factory South of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, … have no health care—that’s the most expensive single element in making a car— have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement, and you don’t care about anything but making money, there will be a giant sucking sound going south.
… when [Mexico’s] jobs come up from a dollar an hour to six dollars an hour, and ours go down to six dollars an hour, and then it’s leveled again. But in the meantime, you’ve wrecked the country with these kinds of deals.

It’s mostly government workers who have defined benefit pension plans anymore.
Private pension plans are dwindling such that only a tiny percentage still get them, and I think they are mostly being demanded by some unions. And the only way that those private pension funds stay above water is by investing in companies that predominantly aren’t unionized.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/success/pensions-retirement-savings-explained/index.html
Pension plans have a big downside, namely that someone gets stuck working with one company trying to make it all the way to retirement. Cuts down on labor mobility substantially, and ties too much of a person’s retirement to one provider. Some people say they want lifetime employment in one company, but most people woudn’t.
But 401ks and such shifts risks to individuals, and a lot of people don’t save enough in them until it’s too late, don’t make particularly good choices, etc.
Seems like Singapore has done a better job incentivizing retirement savings.
Which reminds me that over the past decades, the few Republicans who have pushed for changes got zapped by scaremongers inside and outside their party. In 2016 Trump mendaciously and opportunistically attacked Cruz and Rubio for offering up some social security reforms coupled with better incentives for private sector savings for the young, taking the traditional Democratic angle of “they’re coming to take away your social security, old people!”
Trump similarly opportunistically attacked Cruz for proposing to reform and reduce the wasteful farmer subsidies for ethanol. He does nothing from principle, he’s for he has none, he’s no true friend of markets, everything comes from his political calculations of what he thinks is good for him.
Fast: I am surprised that you are looking to purchase more real estate. I thought you were more cautious in that regard.
Yes, I was exploring the possibility. But it seems everything includes lot rents and HOA fees. I don’t want to be stuffed into a lake community with a thousand others. What’s the point? I wanted a double wide on a hill with a view with merely an acre and it doesn’t exist. If it does, the price tag is almost as much as a cape in Perth Amboy.
And yes, my chex mix expenditures can’t be comprised; I need to continue to do my part and help out the nose pickers.

Pension plans have a big downside, namely that someone gets stuck working with one company trying to make it all the way to retirement. Cuts down on labor mobility substantially, and ties too much of a person’s retirement to one provider.
Lack of Universal Healthcare cuts down on labor mobility just as much, or more.
Funny thing is most of those who hate pensions with a passion are fine with the PoPo getting them. It’s a very bizarre hill to stake your flag on.
Phoenix: If you have a problem with Harris laugh, it’s because you are sexist and intimated by it. It was all discussed on a segment of the Drew Barrymore show. So, if you are thinking of continuing to make fun of her, I have one word for you……..Don’t.
Fast: Nixon tried price controls, and it was a disaster.

All those New Englanders bought vacation homes in Maine. Just like everyone from North Jersey snatched up a beach house and a golf cart. My cousin at LBI showed me her key drawer. She has the keys to 24 different houses in the neighborhood. They gave them to her so she can check on their homes in emergency. No one is there from Sep to May. My cousin in Boston bought a condo in Vermont because his son is involved in skiing.
Even the people that can’t afford the shore are doing it elsewhere. My neighbor bought a crappy cabin in the poconos. It’s the modern day version of keeping up with the Jones.

BRT,
I respectfully disagree with you and Perot about the significance of manufacturing going to Mexico or Canada. Mexican workers in industry are still about 25%, about what they were before NAFTA. Jobs in car manufacturing have mostly declined due to industrial robots than they have been to Mexicans. And the result has been better-made cars at lower prices. And more production has gone to southern states (i.e. outside of Michigan). Brazil “protected” their manufacturing sector the way that Trump and Perot would have liked to, and despite lower labor costs than in the US, it’s dysfunctional, with protected companies selling high cost products domestically, and rarely competitive abroad.
Policy with China was a much bigger issue. Perhaps blame Nixon/Kissinger the most. And Clinton, who was willing to overlook the fact that China isn’t a normally governed country, and yet was willing to pretend that “free-trade” with a structurally tyrannical country wouldn’t lead to long-term geopolitical risks. China ignored almost all of its WTO entry conditions/promises. While there has been some short-term economic benefit to trade with China, it comes at a long term peril, because their government fundamentally rejects the values of individual liberty upon which free trade rests. Now the economic costs of recognizing their danger to free countries is greater.
The greens in the US are still as usual the “useful idiots” for foreign communists. I read that US companies trying to build advanced chipmaking foundries are being blocked by “wetlands” red tape. And the greens practically killed the nuclear power industry in the US 40 years ago with their fearmongering. Thank goodness these greens weren’t in power when they were ramping up tank, ship, airplane factories and nuclear weapons production during WW2 or we might all be eating sauerkraut and borscht.
We don’t need any more chips.

Fun fact, Harris’ dad Donald is a Jamaican Marxist professor. The Economist, a fan of Harris, looked into it, and even they couldn’t escape the fact that he was a big time academic Marxist still dwelling within the failed arguments of that sort, such as labor theory of value. How could she not have been a red-diaper baby?
Also, based on a photo of her birth certificate, her dad thought that “Jamaican” was a race.

She will be coming out with an economic plan today, that will be incredibly beneficial for Americans. Wrap your arms around it, and be glad, we have Harris instead of Trump.

I imagine the incidence of alcohol and substance abuse is higher among DEI types. Living a fraudulent life would take a psychological toll on you so you would look for ways to escape.
Let’s say for example you run for a party primary and finish dead last. Next election cycle you are handed the nomination with the current leader still engaged and without demonstrating any particular skill or popularity. And then you spend the campaign hiding while surrogates spend the entire time assuring the skeptical public about your qualification. Presenting yourself as a legitimate candidate worker constitute a fraud. That has to weigh on you.

How long do the newborns have to survive before people get their money?
There are some perverse economic incentives there.
Let’s say for example that all your business ventures end up in bankruptcy. Your marriages end up in divorce, your current wife hates you, and have a sexual fixation on your daughter. You end up in court for rape, for fraud, for bankruptcy, for insurrection. You run for office and lose the popular vote twice, you lose your reelection. Most people in your cabinet end up bankrupted for fraud, Putin blackmails you into running for office again presenting you as a legitimate candidate.

Having briefly been a part of the middle-age dating scene, my observation is that women in that age cohort drink wine like water, and many, if not most, have at least one anti-depressant/anxiety prescription — I’m sure we all recall that Shrillary couldn’t address her campaign workers on election night because she was passed out. I have no doubt that an incompetent, unqualified dunce like Carmella requires a nip or two before going on stage and demonstrating how stupid she is (though clearly not as stupid as dopes like Unstable).

Though, the government should add in things like free day care (not just the JD Vance’s post-menopausal grandma version), supplies, etc. I’d wager that there are more people looking out for the welfare of their newborns than those looking out for 6k.
You left off the “if you believe them.” And some of the personal ones, which are verifiable surprise me. I thought it was the left who choose to separate personal lives from candidates.

How many days into the riots will it take to activate the national guard?
Secret Service (Phoenix Edition):
The United States Secret Service is investigating allegations a female agent left her post at a campaign event for former President Trump this week to breastfeed her child.
“All employees of the U.S. Secret Service are held to the highest standards. While there was no impact to the North Carolina event, the specifics of this incident are being examined. Given this is a personnel matter, we are not in a position to comment further,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told The Post.
The breastfeeding allegation was first made by RealClearPolitics correspondent Susan Crabtree in a lengthy X posting Thursday — shortly after the Trump campaign event in Asheville, North Carolina.
“The site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president,” Crabtree wrote.
“A working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment. The woman was out of the Atlanta Field Office,” she added, citing three people “in the Secret Service community” as the source of the info.

The only price rise liberals ever oppose is for crude oil. Everything else is fine.
BRT: Harris s plan is for price controls on groceries, as she said and as was reported. I note that price controls would be a disaster, and then of course the deflection to oil companies. The Harris supporters here either need to say they are for price controls on groceries or they are not. It’s a yes or no answer. If they say they are against price controls, then it is criticism of Harris and the Democrats. They of course won’t do that, and so the deflection.
groceries?
Margins are thin for sure, many many grocery stores close and go banktupt.
Juice: Yes, they are. I had a couple of big New England supermarkets as clients years ago. I know their profit margins were very thin. I remember specifically that can goods at the time were literally a few pennies per can.
Secret Service (Phoenix Edition):
Wow Chi, That has to be the dumbest post I have ever seen in here.
“found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room”
Why don’t you start thinking through the logistics of that and see if you can find the flaw. Have a chat with Mrs. Chi and see if see can give you any insight.
“Had dinner at the Roots steakhouse”
Ok, you cant equate a place like that to inflation.
For me I have been Jonesing https://www.arthurstavern.com/our-menus/
We had a great GTG back in the day at the Hoboken one. That has since closed. If anyone wants to have another one I’m up for it. We can settle any election bets over big steaks and big beers.

Check the McDonald’s menu
Fab – re: Arthur’s in Hoboken. Pitchers of beer, and a large ribeye. We used to eat there all the time back in the day.
Go ahead Donny:

Fabius,
I’m game.
Oh, and anyone here that shops for milk, or has their loved ones do it.
I feel like I am being gaslighted. Weren’t the different types of milk , (skim, 1% 2%, whole), different prices?
I’d swear they were. Until recently. First ShopRite aka Bowl n’ Basket, and now Weis.
Just wondering if someone else remembers this.
Thought for the day:
Imagine if Thomas Jefferson could watch Hamilton and see who they are using to portray his likeness.
Hehe.
Washington Post criticizes Harris economic plan , says it’s just gimmicks.

It is. Like putting Bondo over rust.
Like this stuff: “They” don’t need government assistance, they have a cell phone and a big screen tv.
Haha. Two things that combined cost less than a rent payment.
It’s in full swing now. BMW you rent your heated seats. You rent space from Apple to store your photos. You rent access to movies you used to have a physical disk. Hey, even Logitech is coming out with a mouse you can lease. You won’t even own your own f’n mouse. Probably gonna use it to collect data as well just like the F’n General Monster car with it’s snoopy azz On Star Popo caller.
Milk: I think it was discriminatory to charge different rates for different “types” of milk.

6 for a dragonfruit mango refresher. Why would you intentionally leave your house just to get that? I can see grabbing one if you’re out shopping or walking around a city.
You can make one at home for 75 cents To $1.50. Frozen mango and dragonfruit are about $5 a pound. A few ounces of each in a blender with coconut water or unsweetened tea.
Ruh Roh. Pony up, taxpayers:
Two Alaska State Troopers have been charged with assault after they beat, stunned and used a police dog on an innocent man in a case of mistaken identity.
Sargent Joseph Miller, 49, and Canine handler Jason Woodruff, 42, were charged with fourth-degree misdemeanor assault after they caused serious injuries to 37-year-old Ben Tikka.
Charging documents said the troopers were on the lookout for Garrett Tikka, who was wanted for failing to serve a 10-day sentence for driving with a revoked license.
On May 24, the accused duo assumed that had gotten hold of Garrett after they found a SUV parked in the Kenai Peninsula community of Soldotna, southwest of Anchorage.
But instead of Garrett, the man inside the vehicle was his cousin, Ben.
Why doesn’t Harris just implement these policies now? Her party holds the White House already. If it’s such a good idea why do we have to wait until after the next election?
DFens: It would be up to Biden, and his advisors to do that. But, your point is right, why not now? It it a way for Harris to different herself from Biden?
Phoenix: As per the article one guy is now saving 150 a month by not buying Starbucks? All that money on coffee, what a waste.
3b – it’s all sugar..vanilla latte can have 35 grams of sugar some drinks are 80 grams..That is several days worth of sugar intake in one drink.
Juice: That’s not healthy. I never like Starbucks ( to each his own), not a fan of the regular coffe, too bitter , and not into those other foamy/ frost drinks. I prefer DD, or the coffee in the Korean deli s in the city. At home I make my own.
Had to get one of those smoothies from Playa Bowls at Seaside on Wednesday. I was dying in the heat. $12. Yeah, it’s boardwalk premium as well but the store ain’t cheap in the strip mall either. And yes, you can get all those frozen fruits in shop rite. If you really want the good stuff, go into the Latin Markets. They have the mango, coconut, dragon fruit, and passion fruit pulps in a frozen sheet. They are far superior to what you get at Shop Rite.
As far as coffee goes, I like going to whole foods and getting their bulk coffee. You can grind it there. $10 a pound. Goes a long way and it’s premium stuff. If I relied on Starbucks to supply my coffee for the day, I’d be 10k in the hole.
“BRT: We had a clothes line growing up; everyone in the neighborhood did. Even years later when my Mom had a dryer, she rarely used it, as she liked the clothes line better and the fresh smell. She was not a fan of the dishwasher either.”
You just wrote a bio on my mom.
Wake me up for the debate. It will likely be the first unscripted thing Harris will have said since 2022.
In other news, Trump is looking old these days and so are his populist antics.
unscripted is a relative term. When Hillary ran in 2016, they gave her all the questions ahead of time.
Lib: Yes, nothing like old school Moms. I remember those days fondly, I am sure you do too.
As for populist antics please include Harris s price controls. The Washington Post called her on it you can too.
Real nice storm in our area. Probably the heaviest rainfall per hour I’ve seen since the Irene days. If this held on for a few hours, we’d be in real trouble. Luckily, it should only continue for a short while.
I am against all price fixing. Look how the increase in the minimum wage has affected the restaurant businesses. All of the chains are closing down. Not that I eat at any of them, but the Applebee’s style restaurant is done.
Re: food
Took my son for a haircut and new kicks… $25 for a cut now…was $18?
Spent $50 at Panera today for two sandwiches and a salad…. Place was empty in the afternoon.
Party on…inflation.
Lib: Ok. Just checking.
Mama La will save us.
