Aren’t a lot of new homes pre-sold? Than the builders have to eat to loss.
Builders are jacking up prices even if they have deposits in hand. Not a lot a buyer can do.
Permits are on decline but lumber still high from its normal levels.
my builder didn’t increase price even though I booked in March and no delay in closing. But I see some increasing through reddit.
Disney joins the inflation.
Inflation expectations have peaked.
Real inflation hasn’t started yet. how expectation peak?.
We will be paying huge amount to Europe in depreciated dollars for aircraft parts/maintenance as they have bigger production now.
get ready for tuitions increase in coming years.
Wouldn’t increase in fee discourage international students even more?
American universities are turning into Junkyard. Without OPT (optional practical training), which is now awarded for up-to four years, and chance of H1-B afterwards, American Universities have very little value to most international students, at least to those who are in STEM.

That is what I said. American Universities are desired for not what they teach, but for the access they provide to students to the American Job Market and business contact.

Standard of all American univserisities including those elite ones are declining. I have to wonder how long before people are pissed.
I deem graduates with overall grade of at least B+ to have passed. Any lower is failure grade.

And any degree other than STEM is just 4 years of wokeness training - even at the Ivy League schools.

It’s about get get much worse now that standardized tests are optional at most universities. Schools can now admit students on woke criteria with zero fear of lawsuits for denying admission to more qualified students. Once universities are flooded with unprepared students who do poorly, then they’ll lower the standards so students can graduate. The real questions is how quickly does it happen and how quickly do companies respond by changing how they recruit.

UC Berkely is already falling . It is already below UCLA and UC Davis. I did not expect to see UC Berkeley to fall to third position. And pretty soon to the 4th after UCSD.

Remember when everyone was panicking about inflation, warning ominously about 1970s-type stagflation? OK, many people are still saying such things, some because that’s what they always say, some because that’s what they say when there’s a Democratic president, some because they’re extrapolating from the big price increases that took place in the first five months of this year.
But for those paying closer attention to the flow of new information, inflation panic is, you know, so last week.

Corollary: tech stocks will soar now that the market realizes the inflation scare is bogus.
.
I don’t care about other tech stocks. I only care about AAPL. Will AAPL soar 80% again this year?
