According to Karl Case its basically flat in 2010 and quite fragile, with a lot of inventory out there. By 2012 the situation had not changed much, except for Washington D.C. with growth in employment, and a small spurt in 2011 in Phoenix from out of state and Canadian buyers. Prices in Las Vegas and other cities continued to decline and there were fears of more homes being released by banks from foreclosed properties in judicial states such as Florida.

Steve Jobs Tim Cook and shipping out of America' industrial base and with it America's leadership of the Free World
05/26/2025
America's industrial strength, it's industrial base, is one of the four pillars of America's leadership of the Free World. Without it the Free World will fall apart. The other pillars are it's education and it's health care. Underfunding of education with declining enrolment of men in college and lack of factory jobs comes with loss of the industrial base for taxes, taxes avoided by Apple and other companies. All these problems are becoming clear in 2025 as DJT calls for reindustrializing the Nation.

The US tax rate for corporations at 35%, but the $1.5 billion federal tax liability of Google comes to an effective 18% tax rate. GE's consolidated tax rate of 11.6% from 2005 to 2009.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
