  • Even thought Walmart has recently laid off over 2000 workers at its fulfillment centers, the CEO says that don't worry the robots wont take your job, even though we are going to be investing heavily into automation.

      The empire isn’t declining, just the people in it. A modern corporation will always strive to find ways to increase profits to its owners and shareholders. If jobs aren’t needed anymore those people will be out of a job. The US constitution says it guarantees freedom. It never said anything about guaranteeing a well paying job or a place to live.

    We sold our house in 2021 (we're renting now, waiting to buy). Prior to listing, we spent thousands to refresh the bathrooms, install new carpeting, and paint. We had multiple offers and secured a good price for the house BUT this emphasizes the need for homeowners to keep their properties updated so when it's time to sell, there's an easy transition. Homeownership is costly and not for the faint of heart.

    In regard to your affordability of housing analysis, the numbers are very accurate. My parents mortgage was 13% of their household income in 1960 with only Dad working. My first mortgage was around 20% of our household income in 1988 with both spouses working. My son and his wife just purchased in 2020 before the big run up in prices and their mortgage is over 30% of their combined income. If they were to buy the same house now, they would not qualify. I totally agree that the average first time home buyer is in trouble and real estate prices need to adjust and get back to reality.

    In 1981 My wife and I bought a two story with a basement and 2 car garage for 80k. We lived there for 25 years and sold it for about 160K. We live in the Midwest and our next home was priced at 280k. We thought we moved in a nice neighborhood until we started noticing the angst and anger of a lot of home owners who where fighting to keep up with the the cost of living. We need to stop the madness of driving up the price of homes. The government has done little to make sure home prices stay steady keeping prices down. People need homes, investors have many other things they can throw their money at.

    • @FamousWolfe
      @FamousWolfe ปีที่แล้ว

      There's a reason why the government is doing very little to address the cost of living crisis: it's because our politicians and their super wealthy donors are heavily tied up in RE and they don't want to lose money. They don't want their properties to lose value. On a larger scale, most current homeowners don't want that to happen either. That's why they vote for politicians that support their NIMBYist mindset. Literally a case of the Haves pulling up the ladder behind them so the Have-nots can't access it.

    My wife and I own our home in East Texas. We are 73 and 72, respectively. I have the skills to do any upkeep and repairs on anything related to the house. It's nice living with no mortgage or rent. Our taxes are pretty much frozen at around $300 per year on property worth about $110,000 or so depending on the market swings, either up or down. It is an acre and we have chickens, a garden, and about two and a half years supply of food. It's nice that just rotating our canned, freeze-dried, and frozen food means we sometimes don't go to the store for more than a couple of times a week and that is usually for such things as milk and bread and such. Of course, we are continuing to prep as we consume, but it is much less worry than if we were dependent on having to go to the store every day. We both draw SS and my wife has retired teacher's income.

    At retirement it may be necessary to sell your home and downsize. We did that 17 years ago , moved outside a small town. In terms of convenience, medical care, restaurants, etc. it is a hassle, but necessary . The biggest expense we have is a supplemental insurance policy to Medicare(which is not free). We cut costs, spending and planned for misc. breakdowns .

      Consider the criminal injustice of the Social Security/Medicare program. Lawful American Citizens spend their entire working lives.. 45+ years..paying into a system that requires us to spend even more money..after we retire.. just to survive. The reality is that many people... probably most people... do not have or were robbed of a pension fund. BUT!....Millions of parasites.. people who never contributed to the system... this includes welfare recipients and "undocumented aliens " receive money taken from us without our consent.
      We must demand... not request.. DEMAND that this be stopped.
      To paraphrase the Declaration of Independence:
      When a government becomes unresponsive to the needs and will of the people..(the lawful citizens).. it is the right of those people to abolish and replace that government.
      They... the government..is supposed to work for us , not the other way around .
      Remember:
      Those who will not use the brains and skills they have are no better off than those who have none. They are by their own choice subject to the will and control of those who would be their masters.

I was stressing, but when you put stuff into perspective, I realize how fortunate I am to have invested in properties when I did and to look at what I'd be paying now.

    I walked out of CVS last night because they had no one on register, instead they had an employee standing there by the 2 self check out things. I actually couldn't even put my items back on the shelf because they required an employee to come and unlock it. I was one of 5 people to walk out and just leave their items on the counter. So that automation isn't saving them money. Some one physically needs to go around and put back all of that stuff some of wich is perishable . Alot of Mcdonalds here in NYC don't have cashiers any more either, I saw a lady order through the kiosk and wanted to pay cash, so effectively you put your order on the kiosk and then it gives you a receipt and you need to bring it to a cashier to pay. She was telling the employees she needs a cashier to pay for her order and they were just telling her to order on the kiosk. I worked as a cashier at McDonalds in HS and I can punch in a whole order with a few taps on the screen, when I order on the kiosk I have to hit like 20 different things to just add one item. One decent cashier is equivalent to 3 self serve kiosks.

      Old thinking. As the purchasing power of your savings, pensions and social security tank it will be impossible to pay taxes, do repairs and maintenance on the asset. As a homeowner your Federal State and local taxes will keep going up to pay for the people living in the streets, illegals pouring over the borders and social programs for people who choose to do drugs and have 5 kids. You are the government's plan to pay for the decay of the United States.

    Believe your home is a protected asset from creditors like a hospital. If you get sick and the bills are extreme amounts, they can't get your home. They can only get the money from the sale of your home at time of death. Selling your home then renting and having all that cash in a bank account, believe they (hospital) can seize those asset at anytime. Someone correct me if I'm incorrect.

    The thing about automation is that is still needs a lot or resources to maintain and manage. I’m an automation engineer and I see this first hand. Machines break or don’t know what to do, bc they are experiencing something outside of their programming.
    What automation does do is improve productivity. Walmart may not have to lay anyone off but they likely they won’t hire anymore. Or they r forced to hire folks that know how to fix n maintain things.
    Not surprising to hear property taxes have gone up in the south. More infrastructure is expensive. Since they r already pretty low they have space to go up.

    Agreed, however, if your home is paid off, you're not obligated to have home owner's insurance, one less thing to worry about. If you live somewhere in Florida, where you're exposed to hurricanes every year, yeah, I understand, but if you live somewhere like in TN, NC, WA, OR or GA, its almost not worth it to pay 5 to 6 thousands a year on home insurance, depending on the state/ price of the house. Might as well save those money or invest.

    I did a reverse mtg with a growing line of credit in 1/22. Home value was $365k and my current line of credit is $193k growing at 7.45%. Today if you are 62 they will only give you 32% of home value due to higher interest rates. Current mtg is 35k....so my line of credit is growing much faster than accrued interest (which has no prepayment penalty and I have brought down from 45k).

    Michael, I love your show but the answer as to why Walmart is getting into automation is plain to see: they're tired of eating major losses at their stores, especially in states that refuse to crack down on theft. It's destroying their profits and they can't count on local law enforcement so what else are they to do? It makes perfect sense that they would just have a separate fulfillment center with all the actual goods stored there and not on the shelves where people can just walk in and walk out with whatever they want. Yes yes, they'll also get rid of some employees as well, let's not kid ourselves, but the main motivating force here is to prevent theft seeing how many states aren't doing anything about it. Cheers!

      I am a walmart spark delivery driver. I think these fulfillment areas are for online orders. Walmart has employees that shop the orders for us to deliver and I also shop these orders and deliver. It costs more to have me shop it and deliver than just deliver of course. I think they are trying to save money and manpower to automate this job. Then there will be no more shopping for these orders, just delivery. So I think its my job as a private contractor that is being cut. Walmart is also working to build a delivery system with their own vehicles/vans; then they will probably do away with my delivery driver job completely
