YAWWWN.
More Operation Mockingbird TDS propaganda. SAD
ICYMI…
So we are importing houses, from where?
From the article.
More than one in three (36%) Democrats said they are canceling plans to make a major purchase, while 43% are delaying a purchase. In comparison, 15% of Republicans are canceling plans for a major purchase, while 21% are delaying a purchase.
Sounds like more TDS with the Loony Left heads exploding! Went out and got more popcorn for the show since it is so fun watching their heads explode!
Are we tired of all the winning yet!
I’m surprised it’s only 24 percent. The so called deal maker has so far failed us on all fronts.
Morning, Richard.
Hope to find you well and in good spirits today.
My I say, a very intuitive thread to post on the InterNACHI message board. 24% of Americans are Scrapping Plans to Make a Major Purchase.
I suspect citizens from countries around the world are feeling the same financial undercurrents. Its in the news daily it seems. Your commander and chief loves the attention. All the while real people on main street, to small local business owners worry about making plans for major purchases or upgrades to existing infrastructure like remodeling a home or adding employees because expected sales are down. Automobiles and real estate come to mind.
Unfortunately many individuals here will exploit, even highjack this thread, with foolish strings for political reasons, not the obvious, US financial insecurity due to the half hazard poorly processed and yes whiplash policy making.
I think your thread expresses the real sentiment felt by average US citizens. Hopefully the radical trade policy will come to a quick end.
Me too that Operation Mockingbird fake news propaganda inflicts serious TDS.
Fortunately many people are breaking the spell…
It’s more about uncertainties that drive consumer decisions. But, since you asked…
Of $8.5 billion worth of sawmill and wood products imported in 2023, nearly 70% of these imports came from Canada. Many of these imports are already subject to a 14.5% antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) tariff. Total imports of sawmill and wood products from Canada totaled $5.8 billion.
The U.S. imported $456 million worth of lime and gypsum products in 2023, with 71% of these products originating from Mexico. Imports of lime and gypsum products from Mexico totaled $352 million in 2023.

As it already has. You ever notice that when faced with cold hard facts, the pubes on the right resort to ad hominem often using repetitive brain washing tactics?
That should be a given Richard, but can be an undertaking at times, I am afraid to say.
1: Analyze facts without bias. Leave the politics out. Its policy.
2: Consider the source.
This particular pube understands the effects of tariffs. I have never been naive enough to think a wand would be waived and the desired results instantaneous.
Most of the problem is the reporting. They lie, act like toddlers, are generally disingenuous and are agenda driven. Their need for clicks and attention override objectivity.
Just imagine a party that went so batcrap crazy that it drove voters into the arms of Trump. And when I say party, I include legacy media, cable news and leftist publications. They all colluded, such as in the Biden health cover-up.
Now the left wants Trump supporters to look at the facts! They demand it! They mock those that don’t.
Tell me, where are the facts? Call me a cultist, I do not care. But I am not following those people anymore.
It’s a statistic representing a moment in time that directly affects our industry. Whether it remains an anomaly or becomes a trend, only time will tell.
You can either accept it as fact or use it as a means to attack or rant against dissidents of the current administration.
Yea I know. But are we going to keep buying crap from China till we start speaking Chinese?
I have construction tools handed do from my dad, still in use.
I can’t keep the soles of my boots on for a season, never mind expect a tool to last.
I am more than happy to pay a premium for something that will last.
There is nothing on the market at this point that will. You’re paying out the ass for crap that won’t hold up, thinking it’s cheap.
Yea, and Canada is sticking it to us as well. We have to pay them the big tariffs, and have been for a long time.
And we are so soon to forget all that bad sheetrock we had to deal with when we started changing over to that crap…
^^^ This! Of course David needs to stop making sense since that only triggers the Loony Left!
So you accept this poll as fact? And anyone who does not are “pubes on the right, resorting to brainwashing tactics.” Who is using ad hominem again?
Meanwhile, from your other article…
“The construction industry continued to add workers at a faster clip than other sectors in April as the industry boosted pay more than other private employers,” said Ken Simonson,
They are working with the Trump administration and Congress to boost funding for construction education and training, and to find a way to allow more people to lawfully enter the country and work in the sector.
Do you have evidence that the poll was fake?
Nice try. Ad hominem is more than just calling someone a name.

Biden Says Anyone Struggling To Buy A House Should Just Try Setting Up 20 Shell Companies To Launder Money From China
I never said fake.
Polls are often biased from their inception, to their execution and finally the analysis. And when you have deeply-rooted-agenda based reporting and polling, the results are often trash.
So using your sources I quickly identified issues. So I ask, when are we going to stop listening to people who are not genuine?
When interest groups commission pollsters to ask leading questions to gather “scientific” proof that the public agrees with whatever demand they are making on government, they demean polling and mislead the public. When analysts, sometimes innocently, use poll numbers as a definitive guide to public opinion even on issues to which most people have given little thought, they are writing fiction more than citing fact. When political consultants use information gathered through polling and focus groups to camouflage their clients’ controversial policies with soothing, symbol-laden, and misleading rhetoric, they frustrate democratic deliberation.
