I sealed what I think is the leakiest window, other than the ridiculous basement ones. It took three tries to get the plastic to cut to the right size. That is my style.
At this point, it’s fairly certain that we’d benefit from new/good windows in multiple ways. The thing is, that’s expensive, and I’m not certain what kind of chaos is going to come down the ol’ Project 2025 pipeline.
I think it’s possible for the Trump tariffs to raise prices and make a lot of people lose jobs. Though I suppose if prices are going to go up, maybe it’s important to make your large purchases now. Then again, if there is a recession, then you might want the cash more.
I also think a stock market boom and bust is possible. Non-executives would take the hit from this via layoffs.
Finally, the client I current get most of my cash from would lose 90% of its data if Trump really did shut down NOAA. I don’t know if it would make them fold, but certainly it would change the kind of work they do.
