美民调:美国高通胀严重影响少数族裔 无家可归者或持续增多 VS invaders , water meter contractor stole cotrol valve handlers
======================== 8/12/2022 a man kocked our door and wanted to show us something, then told us he just bought our old lady house and his brother bought another side but next next to us. he put a bid on the one next to us for renting. till then we realized more houses sold. so i verified zillow which showing quite many houses on market but didnot show the 3 houses unless put their houses addresses. the weird thing is he tried to tell us going to replace stainless fence to fiber glasses when i mentioned earlier the survey worker didnot set the border mark (i inquired but was told they are forid due to the law(or requested by the buyer lawyer the reason is too long time ago built maynot correctly.) can he mark it? he immediately left. i would say today just like 2008-2013 people cant but sell their houses. however the adv. are hided so wont feel horrible selling everywhere. ====================== Months ago we received letter showing its time to replace our old water meter, i just read a news and we also are quite busy so made a call(7/19) see whether can delay but 我被告知如果九月的截止日未換就會發生水公司無法 bill me 然後切斷水 而且可能換新錶時要付費. 我看到新聞提到新錶是提供美國政府更多監控 但這早已開始包括銀行 微軟 電信相關公司 以後還有. 8/3/2022 the replace new meter company sent contractor, he told us no control valve to turn off water, i told him last year we hired handyman to replace new hot water tank that tured off water. then he did right side(cant see, we put a counter cabinet which blockaded) then left side took down the handler, replaced the new meter. and i inquired him to put back handlers he answeard "you dont need that". before he finished packing his tools and made photos then we signed the paper. i inquired again. but he declared no need. later i felt very unconfortale and suspect so called water company but was told no one in office, called tomorrow before 3:30pm. i did and left voice messages twice. 8/5/2022 i saw another water meter company worker so request him to report what we suffered. he made 2 photos that can see the missing handlers position. 8/5/2022 i called water company back and was told they would investigate. 8/9/2022 i called water company and upset the installer lied to me and water company used the photos cant prove whether hadlers existed before replaced. so i told water company he stole our 2 handlers. water company didnot remind us to make pre-install photos, how do we know their contractor would do such thing, i also mentioned the guy tried to chaqrge us for can not shut off water. in the end he wanted me tomorrow standby waiting for him with boss and meter company? together calling. 8/10/2022 the boss in the end insist the water meter company contractor made pre-istall photo with no handler, and no reason stole them, but would offer one for us. however i remind him the contractor lied and before he took photo already took down the handlers. the boss agreed it possible but no value to do that. According to water company letter showing if cant shut off water then client needs to pay whatever charged (max. $200+). i was still quite upset. especially the boss metioned across street neighour from taiwan (her ex helped who even didnot knew where the meter located that i heard their conversation in front the house) that the other contractor who reported for us also showing no handler photo. i wonder if we didnot in basement watched or just my spouse alone then wont pay attetion or report either. my spouse this time did see left side handler took down and didnot put back even i inquired contractor twice. he didnot take any action because the contractor said "no need". ps 8/22 should get 1 handler and we have to istall it 8/20(Saturday) spouse finally rememered he did see right side handler was put on couter top which next to the meter and water pipes. And the contractor must take away too. 8/22 i immediately called and requested 2 handlers then was deied and accused me change story. i told him all the time i declared we cant see the right side, if water company only give one handler i would contact meter company get right side handler back. later he called me would give 2 handlers(not new very likely the contractor retured or else). it turned out right side handler not fit(part missing?), left side handler missing a nut to screwed tight fortuately we have other nuts barely screwed in. from now on i would be more carefully to monitor well any workman. --bad things happen must "money" related especially adults. the neighour husband wanted me to pay their dying(tried to murder it by themselves) tree remove fee, later forced me to hire 12 old boy mow our yard but failed. i bet he knew who tried to murder their tree then ours. why our neighour-related boys dump branches, dirty dirts with wild weeds, stones and other junks in our yard? it cost $5+ per paper bag with sticker, those heavy dirts may need truck carry to certain site which far away and pay by weights (and if not much...). certainly some other reasons adding such as to keep their yard very clean they wont allow their and friends boys playing in their yards. the adopt son might have anxiety disease and friend boy Rxxx is mental or low IQ problem.... their daughter is very selfish parked her car in our mailbox never in theirs, the delivery female immediately point out she tried to make us looking like bad people. same as they dump weird junks including wood ashes from our yard to sewer company land. that was exactly what we saw and thought our renter did but almost a year tured out not renter family but neighour-related. ps i did see occasioally they put one paper bag that just pretend. same as their previous house owner few times carried dog bag on hand. ----------------------------------------- the following is chat with across street neighour from taiwan: 7/5/2022 she: help... ps she called me that didnot feel well, then drived to hospital by herself... 7/7/2022 me:妳上面4個的text message 不知為何昨天才收到 不過星期二(7/5)就算收到我也還在睡著(通常起床已經九至十點)今天才收垃圾 已經把你的垃圾桶放在車庫門前了 7/7/2022 你好,我是 her 的朋友,她中風了,正在愛德華醫院,可不可以請你和保險公司的代表聯絡,看看保險公司有什麼福利。 me:這個可能需要x女士先找醫院內 Medicare 相關服務員要授權書填寫我的名字等資料 我才能代表她詢問 你可以先把 her 的醫療保險公司名字 電話 以及她個人醫保卡資料給我 如果該保險公司願意與我交談. 妳可以打電話給我 她能行走嗎 就我所知她出院後應該可得到復健人員到她家幫她做復健是免費的 但需先與保險公司確認 另外她應該也能得到送餐到她家 但要看她的狀況 好像也免費 她不要心急 醫院很快有人會跟她討論相關事項 且會安排中文翻譯協助 7/19/2022 she: I am ok.

2022年08月09日 12:34 海外网 美国首都华盛顿,通货膨胀持续,民众在超市购物。(资料图) 海外网8月9日电 美国国家公共广播电台、哈佛大学公共卫生学院和罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会8日联合发布的一项最新民意调查显示,美国高通货膨胀严重影响了美民众、尤其是少数族裔的生活,令他们更难以及时支付重病医疗费用。 调查数据显示,近60%的美国非裔和拉丁裔家庭以及约70%的印第安人家庭表示,由于通货膨胀、物价上涨,他们遭遇了严重的财务问题。36%的亚裔家庭以及44%的白人家庭对此感同身受。 财务危机限制了美国民众看病能力,22%的非裔、19%的印第安人、25%的拉丁裔、16%的白人以及14%的亚裔受访者称,他们在支付医疗费用或处方药方面存在严重困难。35%的印第安人、24%的非裔、18%的拉丁裔、18%的白人以及10%的亚裔受访者表示,过去一年里,他们有身患重病却无法获得相应医疗护理的经历。 美媒Axios称,美国严重的种族差异在新冠疫情暴发之初后就已显现,目前依然没有得到改善,这可能会导致持续性的社会问题。上述民意调查的联合负责人罗伯特·布兰登说,如果美国各个城市不为高通胀做好应对准备,未来几个月内可能会出现更多食不果腹、无家可归的人。(海外网/姚凯红 实习编译/李江珊) 相关报道 美国通胀将见顶?7月CPI料降温,美联储如何接招(第一财经网) 美国消费者7月通胀预期显著下降 未来一年通胀预期降至6.2% 原油领衔大宗商品回落,通胀拐点或出现。 本周三,美国商务部将公布7月美国消费者物价指数(CPI)。在6月数据意外反弹至1981年以来新高后,受近期能源等大宗商品价格回落等因素影响,市场普遍预期本月通胀压力将有所回落。 对于美联储而言,如何在打压物价的同时实现经济软着陆和维护就业市场稳定依然是摆在面前最实际的挑战。 多因素缓解物价涨势 大宗商品回落和供应链瓶颈缓解是影响通胀预期的关键因素。根据纽约联储周一发布的月度调查,7月消费者一年期通胀预期从纪录高位6.8%下降到6.2%,三年期从上月3.6%下降到7月的3.2%,五年期从上月的2.8%降至2.3%。 作为美国本轮通胀的最大推手,7月以来能源价格大幅回落起到关键作用。由于市场对全球经济衰退的担忧,国际油价已经跌至近半年低位。目前,美国国内汽油均价已经从6月创下的历史高位5美元以上回落到4.18美元。农产品价格也随着乌克兰粮食外运重启推进而缓和,第一财经记者注意到,近一个月来美国小麦期货下跌超10%,玉米大豆跌幅近3%。 与此同时,纽约联储上周发布的全球供应问题指数报告称,随着港口拥堵和其他障碍的缓解,7月份全球供应链压力降至2021年1月以来的最低水平,该指数目前比去年12月的创纪录高点下降了50%以上,但仍远高于疫情前的水平。供应链问题已成为全球从疫情中复苏的关键问题,也是美联储和其他主要央行抑制通胀努力应对的挑战。 最新的采购经理人指数(PMI)也显示了供需关系改善对价格的影响。美国供应管理协会(ISM)制造业商业调查委员会主席菲奥雷(Timothy Fiore)表示,来自制造业的数据表明,在过去两年的强劲增长之后,新订单指数回落减缓了物价压力,制造商价格指数降至2020年8月以来最低水平。标准普尔全球首席商业经济学家威廉姆森(ChrisWilliamson)则指出,7月原材料和成品的价格涨幅继续放缓,这进一步表明通货膨胀已经达到顶峰。 克利夫兰通胀预测工具Inflation Nowcasting显示,包括CPI、核心CPI和个人消费支出月率(PCE)月率在内的指标有望在7月有所回落,其中CPI月率将从降至0.27%,同比增速将回落至8.8%。不过需要注意的是,8月CPI增速预期也是8.8%,显示出通胀或难以迅速回落。 牛津经济研究院高级经济学家施瓦茨(Bob Schwartz)在接受第一财经记者采访时表示,预计本轮通胀降温过程将是缓慢的,美联储依然会保持高度警惕。他认为,除了商品价格以外,还需要关注通胀向服务业扩散的信号。这是因为服务价格(酒店、娱乐、机票等)的走势往往是易涨难跌,这将是未来通胀变得根深蒂固的风险。 消费者支出面临考验 上月公布的数据显示,美国二季度国内生产总值(GDP)继续环比萎缩,为2008年金融危机以来首次,陷入技术性衰退。受物价压力影响,作为经济主要引擎的消费者支出同比增速降至1%,但这是自疫情复苏以来的最小增幅。施瓦茨告诉第一财经,由于美国经济出现放缓迹象,消费者维持开支的同时变得谨慎。当前确实存在这样一种风险,即超额储蓄对支持消费者支出的作用可能低于此前预期,而未来储蓄率对经济增长前景有重大影响。 美国零售巨头沃尔玛近日发布业绩预警,称通胀正在对消费者开支产生巨大冲击,下半年百货业将面临更大压力 。“与去年发放的刺激支票相比,如今人们需要为食品通胀买单。一些客户已经承受了压力。” 沃尔玛首席执行官麦克米伦(DougMcMillon)在声明中表示。另一家零售巨头塔吉特则在6月初宣布,将采取包括降价在内的措施以减少库存过剩。塔吉特首席执行官康奈尔(Brian Cornell)当时表示, 公司曾预计会需求出现刺激效应结束后放缓,但对现在的降温幅度感到措手不及。 包括咨商会和密歇根大学消费者信心指数调查持续处于低位。“对通胀的担忧, 继续打压着消费者。”咨商会经济指标高级主管佛朗哥(Lynn Franco)指出,汽车、房屋和主要家电等耐用品购买意愿在7月份全部回落。“展望未来六个月,通胀和加息可能继续对消费者支出和经济增长构成强劲阻力。” 贷款消费成为了备用选择。美联储5日发布的数据显示,美国6月份消费贷款大幅反弹,增加了401.54亿美元,为有史以来第二高的单月增幅。信贷变动通常是经济状况的重要风向标,去年美国信贷回升主要反映了经济好转、工资上涨和劳动力市场强劲,消费者可以借更多的钱来买新车、度假等消费。 然而高通胀和利率上升使情况更加复杂。美国家庭收入的购买力正在下降,加息意味着人们必须为信用卡、汽车贷款和其他大额贷款支付更高的利息。如果经济持续放缓,信贷使用可能会下降,消费者通常会减少支出,从而进一步加剧经济风险。 施瓦茨认为,从信贷数据看,面对通胀压力不少人选择通过借款来支持消费。尽管有经济放缓的其他迹象,但7月份的就业报告表现良好,显示就业增长基础广泛且正在加速,薪资增速也在企业需求旺盛的推动下保持健康。从目前的情况下,消费者信心指数所表现的情绪没有导致日常支出的减少,但通胀对消费选择的影响已经开始显现,这需要警惕。 美联储如何选择加息路径 为了应对通胀压力,3月以来美联储已经累计加息225个基点,创下上世纪80年代以来最快政策收紧力度。 多位美联储官员近期重申了强硬政策立场。旧金山联储主席戴利(Mary Daly)表示,美联储对抗通胀之路“远未结束”,将坚定致力于维持物价稳定。 芝加哥联储主席埃文斯(Charles Evans)则表示,加息幅度取决于通胀是否有所好转,他更青睐让利率更接近对经济略有限制性的水平后放慢节奏,避免美联储落入因加息更快、随后不得不降息的地步。 最新的非农数据提振了外界对美联储加息的预期,与短期利率密切挂钩的2年期美债收益率上周大涨超30基点,创近10年来最大周涨幅。与此同时,加息对经济的潜在风险令2/10年期美债收益率倒挂程度升至2000年以来新高。 “美联储将继续努力在不使经济陷入衰退的情况下抑制通货膨胀。”穆迪分析经济学家迪安托尼奥(Dante DeAntonio)表示,“工资和价格增长数据不会对他们有任何帮助,因为即使整体经济已经走弱,上涨压力仍明显存在。” 富国银行认为,目前经济似乎正在减速但没有崩溃,这与美联储冷却通胀的目标一致。在9月的会议上,至少将加息50个基点,如果未来两份CPI报告中的通胀率降幅不及预期,可能还会再加息75个基点。该行认为,虽然通货膨胀有望在第三季度将开始放缓,但需要很长时间才能完全恢复到可持续的水平,因此经济未来的道路看起来很坎坷。 施瓦茨告诉第一财经,在明确出现拐点并回落之前,美联储很难在物价问题上“松口”,通胀见顶并不意味着问题的解决。美联储目标是看到真正的信号,确信通胀正在朝着2%持续前进。另一方面,近期劳动力市场出现了波动迹象,无论9月加息50个基点还是75个基点,随着利率不断接近中性水平,经济压力、消费者需求的变化将使得美联储从四季度开始考虑将加息幅度降至25个基点,并可能在明年上半年结束加息周期。 |
