I made a thread the other day and was banned from the site. But I have been through enough recessions to know when one is coming.

As a tradesman in construction and a business owner, I can't keep up with the demand of work available. People are spending like it's 1987. They are wanting it yesterday and if i can't provide it yesterday, they look for someone else.

Bad contractors are coming out of the wood work and making a killing with crappy work. A recession is known to eliminate these pisspoor contractors and does it effectually. It always hits when these signs are at the peek and they are there, or very very close.

Another sign is the T&D companies. When they slow down or start drying up the first sign has started. I think the T&D remark is was got me banned. T&D is (tool & D!*). It was a wording banned and was instant.
