    I went shopping at the Shelbyville Kentucky Wal-Mart and got everything on my list. Must be a regional thing. The only shortage I see is in cashiers.

    How do you break a hammer? I think it's more ignorance, than anything else. What all this boils down to, much to an Americans disbelief, is this cushy no limit credit card, no consequence American lifestyle we've all been living is in danger of coming to a screeching halt and that won't sit well, I'm sure. Americans don't do well with giving up something they like, could be real ugly. My 35 ish daughter and sil have a house in L.A., got a half million dollar mortgage. I said, in these troubling times, is that really the best thing to have? She is confident, she'd have no problem selling it. IDK, some, have no choice, they simply can't afford to fail, and take whatever is dished out at them. For how long, I guess we'll see. I don't think we've seen the HALF of the failures a coming.

    I wouldn’t mind if that correction came AFTER I finally get my new truck.

    There hasn’t been an inventory recession since JIT, but I agree, everybody stocked up on everything, and it will cause a correction. We are sourcing warehouse space in Vegas and Seattle right now, and just a simple warehouse box rents for more per square foot than houses. That won’t last, either.

    Success is a lifestyle, so is failure. Pretty well those who fail, are gonna fail when problems arise. Same with those who succeed, they adapt and overcome.
