Waffle House opened up a shell building in Raleigh, NC that literally just exists to cook and bag delivery/online orders. They don’t serve any dine in. It’s an experiment but it’s been matching sales with the other WH in the city pretty well. People really seem to be OK with spending at a high mark up for their food to be delivered. Blows my mind.

My son's best friend moved recently into a very large 5000 square foot home in one of the nicest areas in Charlotte, NC. Since the move, the friend has become very popular with his friends and family. He has had lots of parties at the new house, and everyone talks about how beautiful the house is. Especially after spending over $100,000 on new furniture. The friend with the million-dollar home has a lot of new social status. My son is envious.

Do you like their coffee? I personally think their coffee is ass. (of course Starbucks pike roast is still ass, but I like a lot of their newer roasts). I think they have potential and that's about it. The east coast is pretty saturated with Starbucks and Dunkin, and Dunkin crushes from a price of coffee standpoint. One of the big things I think DB's has going for it is the drive through, speed component. My wife and I moved to NC from WA, and there just aren't any places that are straight up drive through coffee stands here. That's a good niche

I think the bar for Trump to truly get burnt on a market correction is much higher than y'all are imagining, and you can give a major courtesy to 2022 for this here too. -35% by the Nasdaq with inflation edging up by a bit, but not going nuts like 2022 did, likely keeps Ossoff safe and flips the NC Senate seat, but doesn't get you much of anything else (might could get the House, but I'm beginning to have doubts).

There will be some weather catastrophe that will affect millions of homes in FL, SC, NC and/ or TX. One of the state insurers of last resort will become insolvent. Insurers will raise premiums drastically and simultaneously drop millions of homes from coverage. Insurers of last resort will stop accepting new customers; many of these homes are now uninsureable and hence unsellable. Property prices go into an insane downward spiral. Banks are forced to mark the value of their mortgage portfolios to market taking trillions in write downs. They are forced into emergency capital calls. Contagion spreads throughout the finance industry, insurance and reinsurance in 2008 redux. Panic sales of assets reduce indices by 30 - 40%.

I mean sure, but you’re cherry picking probably the most expensive lake in the country to buy real estate on. There are very nice lakes in states like NC, SC, FL, WI, etc that $2M would get you a pretty nice place, though I don’t know your qualifications for a “proper house”.

What are you even talking about? High Point furniture trade show occurs twice a year in High Point, NC and is the BIG furniture trade show in the industry.  Vegas might have a trade show but it's not THE show for the industry, it's still High Point. 

SomeSamples

Ummm, NC has not lost its furniture business to China. In fact they outsource a lot of their work to China. Then assemble the furniture here. Trump is so fucking stupid.

SlyRoundaboutWay

There's plenty of space in Hickory lol.  There's plenty of space all over rural NC.  It's just that new buildings would need to be built, and infrastructure expanded.  Something that will take years.  There's no chance these tariffs stick in place for years.  No one wants to take a risk investing in a new factory knowing as soon as it's up and running the tariff provided domestic competitive advantage you were banking on is cancelled by the next administration.

PrincessKatiKat

That Wayfair table, at double the cost, will STILL be slightly cheaper than the one from NC; but now BOTH tables will be just out of reach for the factory worker in NC.

contude327

Furniture manufacturing in NC has been dead for decades. They even moved the semi-annual furniture market to Las Vegas. However, I'm sure there will be some ignorant rubes who think they will all have their grandpappy's job (minimum wage, no benefits) at the factory back in no time.

On the NC shooter, “The lawsuit, which was filed in May, said that the Generations Church was responsible for a "civil conspiracy" to murder Edge because he is "a straight man," which was orchestrated by white supremacist pedophiles and the LGBTQ community. Edge lodged a similar lawsuit against Brunswick Medical Center in January, alleging that the facility was involved in a plot by "LGBTQ White Supremacists" who were supposedly trying to harm him since he had survived their attack in Iraq.” These shooters today are so inconsistent. It’s like they hang around in the dark corners of the web absorbing the dumbest contradictory shit.

Exactly I spent a while a couple of years ago harassing people on real estate subreddits who were investing in coastal Florida, SC, NC etc what they were thinking in the context of this scenario. If you push them into a corner eventually you get one of two answers: 1. I'm gonna flip this building to a bigger idiot and get my cash and bail before the climate shit hits the proverbial fan 2. The state will have to come swooping in to prop everything up since they can't tolerate a housing and financial crisis of this magnitude Neither of which is level-headed intelligent investing in my opinion. I wouldn't touch Miami real estate with a 10 foot pole at this point.

Yeah, Florida is unique and has already started going the other direction. It passed NY as the 3rd largest state and has plateued. GA and NC are now the 7th and 8th largest states and are still growing. They'll be 5 & 6 within 10 years at the current pace. Tennessee is booming, too. And believe it or not, South Carolina was the fastest growing state last year.

Biglawlawyering

>furniture quality would go up big time I gather you're not necessarily familiar with the work coming out of Vietnam and Indonesia? Saying nothing of the high end furniture and cabinetry manufacturing out of Italy and France and England, which makes US manufacturing look pedestrian. Here's the problem. First, we don't actually have the craftsman. And as these industries have gotten demonstrably smaller over the years, there isn't a pipeline for talent. And for the talent that exists, you need to convince them to live in rural NC/VA/PA and grand rapids, where most US produced furniture and decent quality cabinetry is made. Good luck. Second, It is exceedingly expensive to make furniture and cabinetry in the US. That won't change, in fact input costs are getting worse. What will change is the low end will become more expensive for end consumers and the high end will remain too expensive for all but those with considerable bankrolls. For countries that are known for dumping (a la China) this might help some US kitchen cabinet companies, but there is simply no way wayfair priced furniture will ever be made in the US. So now you've raised prices on consumers, raised prices on developers for one of the most expensive parts of a home, for a payoff that isn't clear. If Trump actually wanted to help protect US manufactures, he would go after specific countries known for abuse, he would help lower physical input costs (doing the opposite), he would invest in apprenticeship schools like in Europe (but that's socialist), help lower energy energy costs (cancelling energy projects all over the place)

Why is Republican representative Tim Moore from NC using $215k of his money on a 3x leverage bear bet trash instrument like TZA. Does he have a gambling problem? Took bad advice from a buddy?

We're going into a seasonal rough patch and stocks do tend to sell and spec traders derisk but this isn't a name to buy for that or bet such a huge sum.

Dumbest_Degenerate

Did not think it would be this early but here’s my WYFI comment WYFI has massive potential. They’re a cloud provider and Colo provider, think as a mini NBIS or CRWV. Spun off from BTBT, they have data centers up and running Canada. Have cloud revenue that’s likely over $88m ARR. Colo deal that’s going to hit in January once one of their DC in Montreal is finished, tenant already lined up (Cerebras, look them up). Main upside is that they specialize in retrofitting buildings into DC instead of building them from scratch. It’s quicker too. They just bought a site this year in NC and are on plan that have it up and running in Q1 2026. They already have a LOI from a customer and they haven’t even finishing building it. That’s just for the 24MW. That DC can scale up to 200MW. MASSIVE potential. My other stock is DEFT. Canadian company that basically operations ETPs for crypto tokens. Basically like IBIT or ETH ETF or SOL ETF whatever but they mainly Operate in Europe. So you guys know how crypto is exploding, many are accepting, people want exposure to it etc?!?! Well they make it very easy and convenient to own it. They have I believe over 80 ETPs of crypto related products. Can own most token through their products. But the company makes money from managements fees, staking revenue, lending, etc. They have not had ONE month without net outflows, always growing. Crazy. Over a billion in AUM and they make a blended rate of like 7% of their AUM. That’s not all, this team is spinning out businesses like crazy. Last year they launched a business called DEFI Alpha - basically their arbitrage trading arm. Sometimes trades come up where they’re able to buy discounted tokens (one example is the FTX token payouts). Since most of the time they already own these tokens for their AUM, they’re able to replace, add, or hedge out risk etc. Another is stillman digital which generates trading commissions. Guiding for up to $12M on trading revenue from them. They bought it for about $5M in an all stock deal. Basically made their money back in a year. Hit me up if you guys want to know more

If your gf breaks up with you cause you're toxic do this: Don’t talk to her for like 10 days, then suddenly call her and love bomb her, saying how much you love her. Ask her in the third person what you did wrong. She will tell you everything while crying her eyes out, and now you will know the real reason for your breakup. Tell her you want her back, and she will not believe you. Then go NC and leave the rest, and then buy PLTR 160 call options quick. Boom, she will fall in love with you again.

Actually, some companies have tried bringing back furniture manufacturing to NC. They can’t find enough workers.

ExtremeIndependent99

All of the furniture companies that closed down in NC is really tragic and we need that industry back, but if companies aren’t going to pay decent wages it’s almost pointless to do this because this is going to raise costs across the board. We are just screwed when it comes to manufacturing I think. Companies don’t want to invest in employees, they just see payroll as an expense that needs to be trimmed and kept low.

tomatoreds

This guy needs to check what brand of furniture is in his palace and if there is a China tag on it, toss it out. We should let him try getting that same design furniture here in NC.

Been about 10 years but someone who I consider reliable once told me (in NC) they shipped lumber overseas to manufacture furniture as it was cheaper that way. I was surprised.

ignatious__reilly

I live in Charlotte. You can still buy furniture made un NC. The problem is……..homemade furniture in NC is expensive as fuck. That’s why it didn’t survive albeit certain companies still exist. Not many people are going to want to pay $5,000+ for a dining room table.

And the earth was warmer before the ice age. Considerably so. Anyone saying we are destroying the earth is simply opining without facts. How much carbon is too much? What's normal? What's the optimum temperature for the planet? Historically the planet has been far warmer. I tend to disagree on your second point. More time? How so? When the meteor slammed into the earth, the massive dust cloud blocked the sun for so long the earth became a block of ice for the most part. It has taken millions of years to get back to pre meteor levels, but we're not even close yet. As recently as the 80's Time Magazine had a cover warning of the coming ICE AGE... All these man made disasters are rectified by the planet. Man has no control over the planet. We simply don't. Leave something unmaintained and watch how the earth reclaims it. It's true in every instance. The planet is far more resilient and man can not destroy it. Man may perish, and then the earth will reclaim everything and flora and fauna will return to even places like Manhattan. I think the largest problem is overpopulation. Governments and businesses alike are forever looking to increase revenues, grow, and make more money. That takes more people. It's a damning process that harms the quality of life for all. Governments around the world are clamoring, including the US, for populations to start growing faster. Meanwhile, the average person wants fewer people. Honestly, the trees are digging this carbon. Life requires carbon and the earth provides over 75% of it naturally. Man isn't doing diddly to the earth with a 1/10th of 1% influx. It simply makes no sense. Go work out and make yourself a sweaty mess, then take that back in the 0.001% soapy water. You're still going to smell... :) I am all for doing what we can to preserve the planet, but when these half witted and proven failed products like solar and wind, create more carbon and produce less energy, that's not the right move to be making. Solar is an absolute disaster and millions of tons of highly toxic used panels sit with no recycling solutions in place. EV batteries are less than 10% recyclable. That's millions of more tons of highly toxic waste sitting. Eventually, and this will be out down fall, the highly toxic chemicals from the solar panels and batteries, will seep into the aquafers and that will destroy entire regions of life, farming, plants, animals. All gone. And it will take millions of years for them to recoup. You seem to be a fairly well read type, so you know that the aquafers span hundreds and hundreds of miles. I believe the Southeast US aquafer covers parts of FL, GA, SC, NC, TN, AL... lose that water supply and there's no food grown, no livestock feeding and watering. It's game over at that point. Unintended consequences.

We have secure elections.. can google it / ask chatgpt / look at your favorite (actual news) sites.. they all concur, every study and investigation shows that voter fraud does happen but it is extremely rare and has no meaningful impact on our elections. For instance in 2020, they did a deep dive into the swing states and found that 475 'potential' cases of voter fraud, not even confirmed.. out of 25 million ballots.. Biden won those states by 300,000 votes.. 475 is the largest example i could find.. all other studies shows far less cases in the less than 100 range per year. So at the absolute worst, it made zero difference. What we DO have.. is republicans trying to tell us that fraud exists so that they can actually implement voter suppression.. a MUCH more heinous practice and also what is happening here. They have been doing it for decades with ID requirements which disproportionately affect minority/low income voters abilities to vote.. Georgia 2018 / Wisconsin 2020 they closed hundreds of polling locations in predominantly poor / black areas and removed 10s of thousands from voter rolls for minor registration discrepancies.. Wisconsin they reduced the polling locations in Milwaukee from 182 to 5 for the primary which caused a 10% drop in black voter turnout. Just in 2024, in Nevada they tried to purge tens of thousands from the rolls, NC the RNC tried to get rid of 200k voters and in Michigan challenged the absentee vallot verification.. the courts/state legislature/ACLU intervened to prevent all of those but if that tells you anything, Republicans are PASSIONATE about trying to limit your ability to vote. Gerrymandering in texas / trying to stop mail in ballots.. all efforts to suppress non republican votes from existing or mattering in elections. So ya.. any time you see someone mention secure elections / voter fraud etc.. what you are really seeing is voter suppression propaganda and you should definitely think of it as such.

The range part major agree. Indoor ranges suck. Incredibly loud and congested, obviously guns are aloud but you just can’t shoot indoors comfortably. Try to find some BLM land or state owned land.

Not to defend Nancy Pelosi, but the only reason anyone talks about her investment returns is because she is a popular political figure who the republicans want to attacks. She’s not even in the top 5 members of Congress for trade returns, so she’s certainly not the best investor of all time. For 2024, the top performing member of Congress was David Rouzer (R-NC) who had 104% gains (which are a full 50% better than Pelosi’s return of 71%).

This is easy for me. ALYI. Look for new FB page on mpak energy. Entirely new and will produce cutting edge battery tech in NC. Under .01 right now, but guaranteed to spin up 10x in next year

Central NC. NWS basically has the TV blacked out for warnings. Nothing on the phone. USA done as a nation.

I love the company that sells dingles out of a garage in Macon Ga. Almost as good as the dongle supplier in Henderson NC

2/3, so 67 votes. The 2026 elections have the democrats defending GA, but also possibly VA and NH. NC and ME are possible pick-ups, but then it’s pretty slim pickings (Ohio? Iowa? Florida?…probably not). If they defend all their seats and net two more, that’s still not a majority. It would take a massive sea change in the GOP to oust Trump, which I can only imagine happening if we enter a major recession.

Crazy how Trump criticized sleepy for not going to NC for a week

I literally grew up in Alabama. Our state is STILL racist as fuck. Sure, Florida has all those Boomers but they’re about 10 years away from having a serious population problem, especially with the mass deportation of Cubans and Venezuelans. Georgia and NC are weird because those are both swing states with super liberal areas that make up their whole economy.

Bro, it sounds like you've never been to the South. This isn't the 1960s. GA and NC are now the 7th & 8th largest states. They'll be #5 & 6 in about 10 years. Southern states have been growing like crazy for the past 2 decades while everything above the Mason Dixon line is stagnant or declining. Florida passed NY as the 3rd largest state behind Texas and took their electoral votes with them. I've worked in 46 states, and by far, the most racists places are Boston, upstate NY, rural PA. More than half of African Americans in the US live in the south.

Potentially. It would take a majority in a reconciliation package, but the likelihood they have a senate majority in 2028 is low. They could pick up like 2 seats this election (ME, NC) and then have to win the presidency and either pick up WI or NC in a presidental year. Even then they'd have to win the presidency

This is the clearest and most recent discussion I’ve seen on our situation in NC. What I don’t know though, is if this bill comes from normal legislation, or if this is the decision made by the Governor’s new advisory council: [NC update](https://www.reddit.com/r/raleigh/s/lZcexSKHSZ)

Looks like for now NC is holding onto THCa with age restrictions per the current bills in the assembly.

NC has talked about Medical since 2022.
