The Christmas discourse I’m ready to restart is extravagant praise for the manifold technical competence of Muppet Christmas Carol.

@jasonrweed @wpbeginner The good old days.

The vacancy rate for industrial real estate is still really low, in part because retailers have accumulated excess inventories over the past 6 months: wsj.com/articles/small…

@jdlessard13 @beckywflyhair Yes! This was my youngest’s favorite for a good year, and I enjoyed reading it every time.

@dcs_3 @beckywflyhair Within this general theme, The Book with No Pictures is a great one as well.

My absolute favorite when I was a kid.

@beckywflyhair Was he surprised by the ending?

@dcs_3 We have read this thriller to Hayden a few times!

@richvillodas Same.

I didn’t realize I grew up in the demilitarized zone of lightning bug / firefly name conventions (Northern NJ). I do recall being familiar with both terms, so I guess that makes sense.

@rcmiller510 @esaagar Rob, you aren’t throwing back four drinks a day during forecast season?!?

@esaagar Dude, 12-24 drinks a week is "moderate?" Clearly I've been doing this all wrong.

Top takeaways: 1. Even a moderate amount of alcohol use leads to neurodegeneration and loss of brain function over time (12-24 drinks a week) 2. Alcohol does not alleviate stress. It increases anxiety and chronic stress 3. Alcohol is a killer of healthy regenerative sleep

@JeffMSMlTH Yeah, I could’ve been born closer to the Hoover inauguration than the Biden one.

Never felt older.

Except "many" is not true. Nationally, 50% of vacancy is in 5% of buildings and 80% in 15% respectively. *Most* buildings are just fine. #office #cre #realestate

Some space gets repurposed into other uses. And, lots of office jobs growth creates new demand for workspace over the next decade. (Oh, and flexible office probably grows in demand too.)

What happens to all that office space? It varies. High quality space continues to be in demand. Used to bring people together, to be productive with colleagues, to build culture and connection.

@beckywflyhair @rcmiller510 @Bitner_speaks @tenantsrightsla Seems like it lacks any scarcity, which is required for it to retain and increase in value. You can “build” something that people want but it is likely to be a fad and there is no limit to new entrants. There is no cost to “move.” I, too, could be missing something, of course.

@rcmiller510 @Bitner_speaks @tenantsrightsla I have not spent the time to fully understand the metaverse...but NFTs, metaverse real estate...seems like a stretch of where can invest and create real productive economic value. This is paper wealth creation. I'm sure I'm missing something but it feels frothy.

Hey @Bitner_speaks and @beckywflyhair, @tenantsrightsla forwarded this to me, and it does seem pretty stoopid to me (so I agree with Cuban). Of course I could be missing something, so feel free to weigh in. marketwatch.com/story/mark-cub…

#CPI #inflation down due to #energy, primarily. Food/#housing continues to go up. Supply chains/reopening down. August could see another month of energy declines - #gas #prices are finally under $4 in #NOVA...(not saying this will last but could help the next CPI report).
