too funny you know what I did for my vendor clients in Mississippi who have the same bad laws.I would just package it myself and label OLIVE OIL... there ya go the secret is out.

I should have known better than to fall for Rhonda's snake oil!  

Like a couple years ago when we were building  an addition and found contaminated soil and an abandoned oil tank .  

This would probably be true if the vapor was truly just water, but the primary ingredients in e-juice are propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, both of which are actually a very thin oil.  

I was nervous initially thinking that I was sold snake oil.   

The other help we've had over the last decade was cheap oil and shale, which put a little life into our economy.But overall, if inflation worked the way you seem to think it does, we would have seen some explosive inflation these past few months. 

Also RE does not suddenly crash, it takes months and years for the trend to change; its slow like an oil tanker, the 2008 crash was very visible in the market data 2 years prior.I don't follow the stock market close enough to comment, but we are not going to see a RE crash any time soon, at least not in the midwest, if anything we may see things slow down at some point, which would be good - what I believe we will see (I am already seeing it in my biz) is a new wave of economic and climate related migration within the US, based on the fact that remote working is allowing people to move from fires, droughts and exuberant real estate prices to the states that are much more attractive - I am getting several calls a week now from people moving to Milwaukee, usually from the states out west, but also from down south.

Housing sales should be virtually nothing as oil tanked, and we rely on oil income to generate jobs and taxes. 

We had decent timing as we locked on the Monday when the 10 yr went to all time lows just as Covid + Oil scare was happening.
