I think the fed will raise interest rates again and boomers might be forced to sell their homes because they can't afford to boom out of control anymore (which is unacceptable). With high interest rates, no one will pay $1M+ for a 2,000 sq ft ranch that hasn't been updated since the Clinton administration, which means prices will need to come down.
I think diesel + gasoline will remain extremely high until next summer (at the earliest), which means the price of everything will be even higher thanks to inflation and fuel shortages.
We're about to cross a line that has never been crossed in history, and I don't think it looks good for us.

Are you kidding? Massively. Urban hellscape in times of shortages and social unrest is the worst possible situation, particular as some UMC white guy that all the minorities (most residents) hate.

I'm not sure I understand the logic here. I'm in the South and in great shape. And in the North shitlibs will lock you up for life if you actually defend yourself.

Whole home backup is energy intensive and this is actually the minimum if you want to ensure that you get through an extended outage. Ideally, I would actually have 4 of these. Note that these batteries (Renon 16kWh LiFePO4) only have 32kWh combined, compared to one of my EVs which have 100kWh. Now note that these are running everything including 2 central A/Cs in Florida. During the day the solar 100% powers everything and even has power leftover to recharge the batteries but at night you only have the batteries.
Also, my house is segmented into 2 electric panels so all of the solar systems are also segmented (we used a sol-ark setup instead of Tesla Powerwalls because it allows for load balancing and Tesla didn't).
