America is going through a time of upheaval. That’s not news, that’s reality.
When rapper Kanye West is making headlines for saying that its time for Blacks to get off the Democratic plantation, that’s a signal for just how turbulent the 2018 midterm elections could be.
Don’t count on a normal midterm cycle. It’s a jump ball. Which major political party wants it the most, and is willing to work for the votes?
There’s a rising economy, but big time political shenanigans. Still, the landscape is potentially favorable to a manufactured housing comeback.
In MHVille, HUD Secretary Ben Carson has made the news several times this week, as has the U.S. Supreme Court, which will hear an MH related case.
CPFB, MHARR, and MHI are all in the news too.
A new production center is underway, and it’s going to be forged by and for independent retailers.
Another celebrity and her “mobile home mansion” [sic} is a headline on lifestyle and living focused MHLivingNews.
And a brave totter driver pulling a true mobile home in a tough spot on video are all among the headlines in the week that was. Check ‘em ALL out…
…and then, last but not least. The national news that impacts us all, in or out of manufactured housing. The president’s approval numbers are rising. Perhaps its because the economy has been steadily improving? Or the various promises kept, with work being done on more?
Since the GOP Convention, the 45th president has had overwhelmingly bad press. Love him, fear his agenda, or anything else along the spectrum, Donald J. Trump is as much our president as the 44 Chief Executives before him, going back to George Washington. It’s worth listening to what he has to say about himself, his agenda, unfiltered. This video is from last night’s rally, courtesy of ABC News.
Now, let’s dive into industry news for the week that was.
