Task 3

The reason why the construction industry is changing and will continue to change in the foreseeable future.
Jim Kearns is the proprietor and speculator of Rustic Structures, a traditive lumber frame association situated in upstate New York. A particular busy joiner whose prospect have a special steadfastness. Mr. Kearns expect that there is no revival from the structure trade.
“Why are the construction jobs not coming back? There are three main reasons, the first of which is inflation. Decades of credit expansion and the recent printing of money (quantitative easing) have increased the overall volume of our fiat currency: dollars. Therefore, the value of each dollar unit has been reduced, causing prices to rise. This results in increased costs in construction of new homes. Higher new construction costs make staying in and repairing older structures, or renting, more attractive.”
“The second reason is fuel costs. Living rurally and working in urban areas is becoming very expensive. Reasons one and two will keep an increasing number of younger builders and couples living and renting closer to work. Why take the financial and mobility risks associated with homeownership?”
“The third reason is we are broke. Who are “we”? Western civilization comprised mainly of the U.S. and Europe. Consider this…there are gold and silver coins and bullion: actual wealth storage vehicles. There are paper dollars: temporary wealth storage vehicles. And there are also trillions of “dollars” represented as pixels on screens in accounting software programs.”
“When I say that we are broke it is because I don’t believe those pixel dollars represent anything. All of the wealth supposedly held in those pixels does not exist. It is a classic Ponzi scheme. If you go today and convert your pixels to actual dollars, everything is just fine. But if 10% of us go today and try to convert our pixels into dollars, the banks will shut down…Why? Because the money doesn’t exist. There is no actual wealth stored in any of those pixels.” (Jim Kearns 2011)
Mr. Kearns opiniativeness does not only allude to the understanding perseverance, particularly in the third sense he has fixed. He think due to the fraud of electronic banking systems, a crisis alike the one that be now cannot crushed itself with the funds that it purportedly restrain in the banks.

His first consideration instant out the drawback of construction recent configuration however he has terse out that refurbishment is the interval onward, this is anyhow a dogmatic docket as sustainability and recycling is perhaps the only interval progressively for the arrangement business.
