I'm pretty sure my fellow suppliers will agree, the Trump economy has yet to inspire spending...
Would you full time cleaners say the same?

Facts:
Trump did not bring in the "I don't want to work with my hands/be a service provider" mindset, that's been in the works for decades
He didn't invent LVP either...
Or the start your business with with a cheap portable and Oreck orbiter mindset
Pretty sure he had nothing to do with robot vacuums set to clean daily schedules...
He certainly didn't tell supplier to not pay their mechanics a (good) living wage..
her response was, ya know Mike, it's always such a hassle to get those rooms cleaned, we've decided to replace the carpet with that plank stuff..
I told her that I'm actually cleaning more plank stuff than carpet these days, so be mindful that you'll still need to find a professional every now and then. to which she replied, really? I'm happy with how it cleans up in the rest of the house.....<<<<
So yes, areas will differ, if your client base is primarily (well paid) working couples, they wont want to spend their days off cleaning the house, but out here where most are retied, and have plenty of time to mop the floors, well......
(Hard Surface Wands are still selling very well...)

You can search old threads.
Please don't use that as an excuse to get overly political as we don't have the Rubber Room option here anymore

i dont see anything that inspires spending. Lots of talk on how much more money tariffs is bringing in but i dont see any prices going down nor any incentives to spend.

I’ve seen absolutely nothing to indicate any change from Biden to Trump in my local economy. The “Trump effect” has yet to benefit me.

No reasonable person would assume things, and prices would change in 6 months..
Prices need to drop on most everything in order for cleaners and homeowners alike to spend a bit frivolously...
But unfortunately that may take a few years...

I agree. We are in such a mess. I’m afraid it may take a third term or another Republican to fix it all.

but the stock market is up, which makes a certain few feel optimistic...
Things have been stabilizing imo. The feds refuse to lower interest rates to help the economy.
The damage was already done and on purpose imo.
The courts are still rigged but things are changing.
Im looking forward to next year.

Hey Steve. We agree. Log this in your diary.
Its in my memory banks. Not the first time we have agreed.

I think all the political drama (both sides) could be subconsciously keeping people frugal.

In my opinion, the corporate media are to blame for much of our economic malaise.

I don't know about that. My granddaughter bought a 1300 sq ft house for $265,000 yesterday! That cheap, but crazy!

Yes...God told him to take the RR away....without all the problems in this world.....he told you to cut the RR...yes that makes sense!
as far as my business I have to say that I am booking in advance about the same amount of time as usual for this time of year.
But overall I feel that there is a sense of uncertainty among people which may be caused by the political climate and/or what is said on the news and social media. In addition, people are either on one side or another. there is no middle ground anymore.
