There will be a recession starting sometime between the end of 2026 to beginning of 2028. Probably goes on for a couple years just like 2008. Trump will blame communists and Americans will idiotically agree and bail out the banks again.

I really thought the race would be closer. I'm surprised that 15 million voters just didn't show up for Kamala 4 years later. That's like losing half of the voting blocks Pew Research define as outsider and progressive left. Absolutely abysmal campaign by the Democrats, and that's pretty cool that many folks decided not to endorse their bullshit.

Trump will have essentially had three terms. Brandon spent four years doing nothing for the left. His only accomplishments were one justice appointment and some bullshit bills full of pork projects.

I want to go to a cool bar that's apparently having an election party.

Our local org brought in a guy at the annual dinner who tried shaming us all to vote for Joe Biden. Absolute fucking miss of a public speaker booking, it was so embarrassing listening to this guy when we all know even sleepy Joe could win NY by 10 points.

Biden, Lieberman and Moynihan were all more than happy to defy the party line for their own interests. Dan Moynihan was particularly shitty about abortion rights, he accused women abortion activists of being bad for the party image.

Can you get an inspection with this house or ask for repair credit? If you were really concerned about the foundation integrity I'd pull in an inspector before buying. It could be that the brick that's cracked isn't structural and it's no big deal. It could be that you have vertical cracks in the foundation from settling and a repair guy could inject some shit in it for maybe 1-2 grand. If it's horizontal cracks though you're looking at excavation, demo and replace while shoring up the house which is that huge cost you want to avoid.

You mentioned it's in the Southeast so if you aren't in that freeze/thaw cycle the cracks wont grow as quickly as up North if they do start leaking. Also, when you say crawlspace do you mean most of the floor is on foundation pads with posts throughout the interior? I'm just not sure what the typical foundation on a house down there would be made of.

I closed on my house without hiring an inspector and I'm sort of paying the price. I've got a couple foundation issues with a small leak and this pilaster they set for a corner addition that settled.

-What region of the US are we talking and how old is the house?

-Is this a full basement?

-Is the brick just a veneer or is the entire foundation structurally brick? Most foundations are poured concrete, CMU block, or stone for really old homes.

Most commercial CMU walls have a control joint, they stop laying the running bond (staggered pattern) and leave a vertical joint that allows expansion and settling to occur without head joints (mortar joints on the sides of the brick) cracking, residential foundation walls wouldn't have that detail so it's much more common for a crack to appear on houses. If the bed joints (joints on top and bottom of brick) were cracking you have a bigger issue because that could indicate the foundation wall is buckling from the lateral/hydrostatic pressure.

Could you please stand a little closer to the lathe for a little while longer? I want the coolest possible outcome.

My Nephew's favorite thing is Minecraft. It seems like the easiest way to make a huge profit is getting the attention of children. They will beg their parents for the treats and the parents will oblige.

If you ever get a chance to take the train along the Hudson river, be sure to sit on the west side.
