My thoughts exactly.

Very superstitious, Writing's on the wall......It's 1970 in 2024. Real illegal output grew faster than overall GDP during the 1970s. In lay terms this simply means that the guys running the show in organized crime - were running a better show than the Feds. The internationally agreed guidelines for national economic accounts, System of National Accounts 2008 explicitly recommend that #illegal market #activity should be included in the measured #economy.??This recommendation is not currently implemented by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) because of "challenges inherent in identifying suitable source data and differences in conceptual traditions". Ya don't say..... So, conceptually - what would that look like? For conjecture sake (see attached) - "In 2017, the level of nominal GDP rises by more than 1 percent when illegal activity is tracked in the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs).??By category, #illegal #drugs add $111 billion to measured nominal #GDP in 2017, illegal #prostitution adds $10 billion, illegal #gambling adds $4 billion, and #theft from businesses adds $109 billion.? This equates to +/-$200 Billion bucks. Let that sink in. The housing supply chain in its totality is a pipeline for organized crime. The #housing supply chain begins with raw materials producers. Who ship their goods to manufacturers via air, freight, and rail. The manufacturers - manufacture their products and the shipping process repeats itself countless times over the construction of a single home. When it is finally delivered to a building site for construction to take place. Once construction is completed, the home enters the mortgage lending supply chain. Consumers and consumer data are raw materials for mortgage lenders. Who ship this data to various partners and sources to manufacture a mortgage loan. This process repeats itself countless times over the manufacturing of the mortgage loan. Upon completion of the loan manufacturing process house keys to the front door - and Title/Deed to the house are issued. This is an oversimplification of course. Any greater detail would have us reading all day long.... According to the latest estimates - it currently costs American Consumers $93K in Single Family Residential build construction costs and an additional $14k in mortgage loan manufacturing costs to "safeguard" the supply chain. That's $107k in "protection money" that we pay to - the Feds? I'm not actually sure...........to whom - or where it's all going. But this entire dialogue raises REAL concerns. Namely, how do we protect this highly complex supply chain on behalf of American Consumers who bear the brunt of each and every theft that occurs within it without law enforcement and housing preservation services at every level?
