📈 Chicago is gearing up for a significant #EconomicBoost thanks to the Democratic National Convention (DNC)! 🏙️ In August, United Airlines will add 118 extra flights to and from Chicago. This not only highlights the event’s importance but also underscores United’s crucial role as one of O’Hare’s leading carriers. The DNC Host Committee estimates the convention will draw around 50,000 visitors, including 20,000 media professionals and 5,500 delegates, alternates, and guests. This influx is poised to put Chicago in the national spotlight and bring a substantial economic boost to the city. This expansion brings United’s schedule at O’Hare to its largest since 2019, with an additional 38 flights specifically between O’Hare and Washington’s Reagan National Airport. From increased activity at our airports to a surge in the hospitality and service sectors, the DNC is set to be a powerful driver of economic vitality for Chicago. 🚀 Our city is ready to be at the heart of national politics and to showcase its hospitality and vibrant economy. 🌟 https://lnkd.in/g5m3t2FF

Worth the time to read some insights on TLH trends happening today!

Great initiative. China heeds to be coaxed through this. Not punished. Other countries have been through the same. Here is my commentary: In short it is a completely dysfunctional market. Governments have used property; a BIG TICKET item to bolster #GDP! Australia sits right in the middle of it! It mirrors the post-WW 11 Japanese Market I covered in my #IVSC / #WAVO; #IVSC / #ANEVAR (Gilbert, D. 2018) and #PRRES / #API (Gilbert, D. 2020) presentation and papers. Around a 40.0 year cycle off a low base. Using disproportionately interest rates to ratchet up #assetprices. UK did the same from memory 1974, late 1980s, early 2000s, GFC 2008 - 2010 and again now when cheap money bolstered price of property! That is in my earlier papers you can download them here. Neil Crosby of Reading Uni did some quite valuable research. I did very valuable modelling in 2006 and again in 2016 or thereabouts: https://lnkd.in/grm9N8s

#Gold triggers another All-Time High today - Gold is often thought of as the weapon you have in your possession that you hope you never have to use ... “The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio is now 122%, well above levels that get countries into distress. This level of debt was matched in 1946, but that was at the end of war spending and only at the very beginning of the ponzi entitlement state: the debt figure fell to 32% of GDP by 1980. This time, the outlook is dire. The CBO reports that as a baseline, assuming no economic, political, or military crises: “Debt increases in relation to GDP, exceeding any previously recorded level in 2029 and continuing to soar through 2054. It is on track to increase even more thereafter.” Much of that increase is due to interest payments, which now exceed military spending. And there will be crises. And if no one else will buy the Treasury bonds, Congress will force the Fed to do so.” - Dan Oliver of Myrmikan Research -Having to print to buy the debt is the Feds "Hotel California"

Curtis Potyondi, director of Trinity Hotels, reveals how they contemplated moving from a private company to a public company but ultimately decided that the stringent reporting and cost would outweigh the benefits. Curtis believes that while the reporting regime has advanced, more work needs to be done for cost and efficiency.
