And it's looking like Trump will win by a landslide too.


Just today he has accepted a 4 hour debate with Biden on the Joe Rogan show, if Biden agrees Trump will tear him a new one, if he rejects that doesn't look good either.

Trump asked for a drug test before the debates also, the aderall that helped Biden look competent and slick in the DNC debates will not be used this time round.

As will thousands of others
My son started a new job early June
He has never met another employee of the company in person
He loves not having a commute and only working 8 hrs a day

thats fine as he starts out, and maybe i just cant imagine it as its not existed in my career so far but i dont see how you can progress in a company without making proper personal connections along the way.

Our place (IT) has everyone WFH except a couple guys in to train the newbies.

Management have been clear we're never going back to 5 days in the office, most likely 3-4 WFH and 1-2 in the office.

Many in my company have thrived in full time remote gigs (Asia, EU and US based). However, they did meet colleague maybe once or twice per year at conferences and office visits etc. This could easily occur post Covid

You must love this recession. With a DB pension and redundancy, all your Christmas' have come at once.

The worse the recession, the better relatively you will be.

Life must be really good.

No one gains in a recession
Everyone loses except the billionaires ,hence why Warren Buffet is cash rich at the moment as he waits for a bargain
Plus I have children all with mortgages
It may not affect me as much but it will effect me ,of that I have no doubt

A Recession is when your neighbour loses his job. A depression is when you lose your job.

I don't think a depression is defined in economics.

Please note that in the past, the word recession was not used, and all recessions were known as depressions.

That's why the Great Depression is named.


I have heard that a drop of >10% in GDP is a depression.


I would call Greece's five consecutive years of falling real GDP a depression.

In a way none were related. The Spanish FLu was from 1917-1929, it was well over by the late 20's. The great depression happened from 1929 however there was no social welfare and Governments did not intervene. It was the actions of Franklin Roosvelt that started the recovery by controlling Gold supply he could start to print money which allowed recovery. Hitler rise to power was mostly caused by the harsh penalties imposed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles. Fasism was a new type of nationalism to counter Communism, at the start it was popular with conservative/ better off section of society until Hitler started annexing other European countries

I am not sure, he is jiggling all over the place trying to nail Biden. No candidate will agree to a four hour debate. Neither will any candidate agree to a drug test. Trump is an unknown as to whether he can recover or not. I would not bet against it but he can no longer play the outsider card as he was in power nearly four years. His biggest problem is with him needing Town Hall type meeting if there are outbreaks where he carriers them out there could be a backlash

I have been luck enough to be in a similar position, where we always worked from office 4 days a week and 1 day from home. But that is because we have all the setup - VPN, laptops, voip phones, mobile phones, cloud backups for laptops, online meeting solution, instant message solution etc.

I would say it will be hard for most companies to offer all that to employees, plus pay rent for an office block, electricity, water, heating etc. when employees only turn up once or twice a week in the long run

I think this is a lot more likely than 3 days per week at the desk. What does a company really have to gain from this other than mild employee satisfaction? I predict around 3 days per month in the office for specific meetings being the norm while all of the deskwork gets done from home. This would allow companies to reorganize office space for meetings and downsize for cost savings.

What this means for cities is pretty interesting but hard to predict. Could we have fewer cities but those that survive remain busy but become hugely transient? What it could mean for property is even harder to predict, at first glance it would seem that a lot of what Dublin has rallied against; hotels, student accommodation and accommodation for short term lets could be the big winners in a post pandemic world where people are in and out of Dublin all of the time. At the same time, who will want to pay 600k for a semi D in Leopardstown if you're only in the office a few day per month?

There was a release of a new phase of a new development in Greystones yesterday and prices were all up on previous phases, and I believe they all sold.

No, they went up by 60k.

Previous phase (last year) was starting from 435, these were 485-500+.

That's price change on the adds, it doesn't say anything if the overall property prices are going down or up.
And in stable market, you would expect same number of sellers increasing price on they unsold property?

In most countries sellers at first put price what they want to get, and if they don't achieve it, they lower the price, and not other way around.
