  • Disappointed Again

    Mario Parker provided broad opinion on the affordability question without any information. So affordability is made up of costs, wages, and direction and rates of change. The rates of change of costs have decreased. This is seen in lower rents, lower commodities. The rate of change in wages have evened. The issue is interest rates impacts on mortgages and on higher unemployment rates. Those are federal reserve issues which we expect to lower at some point when the fed catches up.

  • Here’s why wind energy

    Ok tell me why wind can’t be sustained by the market price of energy? If it can then it will be built, I assume they only exist because of the government subsidies.

    It was said when they get up and running the “can give you free power” - I think that is likely an uninformed opinion. Do some homework Rachael, come with numbers. Learn about the maintenance and cradle to grave co2 for coal, oil, gas, wind, solar - then you’ll be ready for an interview.

    One star today based on poor choice of subj... more

  • Sponsor ad comment

    Really enjoy listening to your podcast over the last several years thank you. Some feedback about the PG&E ads where it claims PG&E is listening to its customers and has some guy saying “it’s fair” is a a bit galling and maybe reflect on your show or shows that you’re using it in. Just thought I would chime in and never comment on things but I imagine I’m not alone and thinking it’s sort of important taste. And like I said galling is the best word I could think to describe it.

  • 2 mins of ads for 6 mins of mid content

    Just another money-making scheme to cram more ads into an already redundant podcast that’s covered by other Bloomberg shows.
