Cool and clear, warming later.\u00a0 Some small chance of rain.\u00a0 We’ll see.\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday was nice.\u00a0 Out in the boonies the air had the smell of damp, loam, and fall.\u00a0 It was nice.<\/p>\n
Spent 8 hours at my client’s house.\u00a0 Got some stuff done but not the main goal.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe next week.\u00a0\u00a0 His broken gear is still not available for replacement.\u00a0 His remodel project, delayed for a year by supply chain issues, is still not entirely done.\u00a0\u00a0 They are waiting for light fixtures, and the electrician’s punch list details.\u00a0 As I found at the BOL, even if you have money to spend, you can’t always solve your issues anymore.<\/p>\n
That might change as people DON’T have money to spend.\u00a0\u00a0 Chatting with the cashier at Spec’s, our large liquor store chain, he said that despite Halloween and World Series parties over the weekend, his store was DOWN $20k in sales year over year for the weekend.\u00a0 At some point, business is going to chase whatever money is still available.\u00a0\u00a0 We’re not at that point though.<\/p>\n
Which leads to a couple of questions.\u00a0\u00a0 How do you make money when you don’t have anything to sell?\u00a0 How do you spend money when there is nothing to buy?\u00a0\u00a0 What happens socially or personally, if you are not hurting as bad as everyone else?\u00a0 Do you stop spending, even if you could?<\/p>\n
It’s\u00a0 a death spiral for the economy.\u00a0 It’s coming.<\/p>\n
Prepare yourself and stack what you can.<\/p>\n
