Our general contractor just told me that three of his big jobs have been paused because the clients are waiting until after November, just in case there's a civil war and/or martial law. He's Filipino and he says this feels like the runup to the Marcos coup. 716853

bpalmerau @bpalmerau.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Honestly I've been wondering about the timing of those cash-generating IPOs, and Warren Buffet has dumped stock since last year - maybe that's because he's near retirement, or... will have plenty of money to buy distressed businesses? 000
