The construction industry here in RENO DIED. Las Vegas kind of had stuff going on, but it wasn't enough to sustain both Reno and Vegas. There were three HUGE new casinos planned, and a new huge outlet mall to surround the casinos. But the sh*t hit the fan, and the casino guys pulled out.

I read a report that the construction in Vegas wasn't expected to improve till 2018. The last two projects in Vegas we built we haven't been payed. Both are un-finished and one may be imploded soon.

I'll refrain from posting pics of my garage, but I could put an RZ4 in it if I wanted to.

It's hard to believe how bad the construction and real estate business got in NV.

The most important thing my family needs out of the economy is for our house value to improve. We are getting cramped and needed to move before Emilee came along.

Uuuugh... We bought our house when we thought the market was at it's lowest. Our house was brand new. If we would have waited one more year we could have got the 4 bedroom house with the tandem garage, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO my wife just had to have this house. HAHAHA! My boss is $350k underwater on their house. It's really bad here..... We are the #1 state for foreclosures.

Saw this on FB:

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

That is part of what makes the 30 second rule bearable on a mobile device

By the time it is ready 30 seconds has passed.
