Van Jones is a moron.

Pretty much

I love when regular folk think they’ll out talk a comedian.

Look up my boss. He's made a living dealing with hecklers.

Kilborn’s Daily Show was incredible

This take is 100% correct.

Wait should I know who your boss is?

Nice will do. I saw on Reddit that he bought a church in the area. Looks awesome.

Was kind of nice to have a state of the union where the president isn't up there vilifying anyone that didn't vote for him and the media for the majority of his talk.

We were flipping stations and turned it on right at that moment when Cruz was showing nodding off. In any event... as soon as all the standing and clapping started for every single thing we turned it off. It's nothing but a circle jerk.

This stuff is a serious issue. I've known three people whose housing plans went under in the past month because their loan people and the builders couldn't agree on a price for materials.

I don't want to know what our house would have cost 2 years ago instead of this summer. I think I would cry a little.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:29 am

Our house was finished almost 2.5 years ago at this point. New development going in up the road and a house of similar size is “starting at” $10K more than our final price after add-ons and upgrades. I shudder at the thought.

One of our neighbors is a project manager for Heartland and told me on average their expenses are up 30% from two years ago. Part of that is lumber, but as such a large bulk buyer they still get significantly better prices than the general public or independent contractors. Similar story for other building materials. Biggest increase for them is time. Wait on materials, wait in finishes can wait on appliances, etc etc. Things have gotten better than they were last summer where they’d be waiting three months for a bathtub, but on average their construction time has increased by two months, meaning they’re now floating a construction loan for half a year.

Lumber prices are in the "hmm, I'm not sure I've got enough 2x4s for this project, I'll just grab a few on my way home" to "precious, my precious"

What was "Starting at $275" when we built 4 years ago are now at $350 for ~2,00 sqft homes (unfinished basement).

I have 30-40 trees that I don’t want in my yard.

@shafnutz05 I hear your weirdo neighbors go collect lumber like this for free. Put in a word.

Aside from the WSJ continuing to slide into the abyss, this has big “you can’t fire me, I quit” energy

I’ll stop talking to myself in a sec, but more galaxy brain from the state of Tennessee.

The intersection of Republican voter + wouldnt greatly benefit from subsidized child care has to be like <5% of the party at this point.
