I read a fake but accurate article on a Minneapolis tv news site last week. They were bragging about the good economy and as proof talked about vacation homes on Lake Superior selling at a brisk pace now. Sales are up, houses are selling. good news, right? Once I read to the bottom I found the real propaganda. It turns out the homes are selling for HALF of what they were 5-6 years ago.
I hear the ads about our supposed economic recovery to no end but I see slow death in a lot of storefronts. My facility is having some manufacturing lines shut down until further notice. A lot of people are concerned.
