A Nation Divided - Northeast Happiest In 8 Years As MidWest Comfort Collapses

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Presented with little comment, aside to ask why is Bloomberg "Consumer Comfort" for The NorthEast region at its highest in 8 years, when The Midwest region's "Comfort" is plunging to its lowest since Nove 2014?

 

 

Must be the weather? Or The Fat Cats?

Chart: Bloomberg

Gas?  Or is it the concentrated center of the Fed's money spigot where record-bonus-funded asset and land prices have reached ludicrous speed?

This latest skit by the Fed/Wall Street cabal has been so transparent to anyone with a clue its stunning.

1.  Beat everyone into submission for 5 days

2.  Fed-heads can surrender

3.  Reverse everything straight up for 2 days +

Everyone in the midwest sees only www.chapwoodindex.com  ... not the upside ... a tale of two worlds indeed

Really far beyond the point of disgust.

The 'special' people living in the northeast corridor are making money, everybody else is trying not to be wiped out...at least till the riots really start up....

The weather has helped.   Warm days and cool nights.  Ideal summer.

So, you've either made it to Manhattan/Greenwich/Potomac, or you haven't.

Nuke 'em all.

Could have something to do with the Sinola cartel buying up homes all over the NE for almost any price so they can stick drug pushing latinos in every town.

You drive though Lowell Massachusetts and you see cars that never should be parked outside homes that look like they should be bulldozed. A guy I work with said he was offered $250k for his house in Lowell. I said, I hope you said yes because that is insane.

Getting paid a lot of money for no good reason always makes people happy.

Strong dollar, good for financials, bad for manufacturing. Which regions of the country do you associate with each?

Hint, Wall St and rust belt.

Except that there is no manufacturing in "the rust belt", beyond token operations.

The only manufacturing left in the US is for defense and it's all done on the east coast.

Determined before or after black Monday?

It doesn't matter what ordinary people think because they live in an illusion.

If they only knew the truth.

The NE doesn't include Maryland.

Of course the Northeast is happy.

The darkies are kept under relative control and there is still plenty of blood-stained "defense" money and pharmaceutical money splashed around.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York located >>>>>????  The closer to the printing press the happier you are going to be.

Let's see $ 1 million at 1/4 of 1% interest is $2500 per year. $1 million divided by $2500 is 400 years worth of interest cost before you get to zero. There must be some really happy people located in the Northeast.

[W]hy is Bloomberg "Consumer Comfort" for The NorthEast region at its highest in 8 years, when The Midwest region's "Comfort" is plunging to its lowest since Nove 2014?

That's easy. The Northeast is home to a huge chunk of the FSA. The Midwest is home to the people who pay their tab.
