“The equivalent of selling apples during the Great Depression”

Stacy Summary:   Despite all the Depression like numbers across all data relating to the Average Joe, it’s been very difficult to find any evidence in the news for Depression-like existence for the bottom 99%.  I guess we’re now starting to see some of that make it into the news . . .

  2. Obama creates 640,329 jobs at a cost of $323,739.83 per job

    You must remember that my American friend, that cost some 25,000,000 USD lifetime cost to government is by no means unusual.

    It is cheaper to give someone with a foreign passport 500,000 USD to leave the US than to let them stay … US citizenship or not is beyond totally moot here.

  3. Americans are so utterly corrupt and generally untrustworthy, I would not trust them to do construction work in the USA.

    And the NWO has been planning for this: If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8206280.stm

    Well that’s my joke cause I get realy woozy in the head if I don’t get some proper meat once and a while. I eat a lot of bread pasta and even better cooked potatoes but can’t live without some proper beef now and than.

    Maybe this is an other way of the NWO to get us woozy and non resistant, first fluor ion the water and than deprive you from any meat. You see were I am going ……Zombie Upheaval.

  11. Secret copyright treaty leaks. It’s bad. Very bad.
    The internet chapter of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a secret copyright treaty whose text Obama’s administration refused to disclose due to “national security” concerns, has leaked. It’s bad. It says: http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/03/secret-copyright-tre.html

  13. @ Stacy – Depends what you mean by come out on top. If you mean come out in top in terms of confidence, the answer is gold. Come out on top in terms of which will win out, the answer is paper.

    From the article:

    but without American support, it does not have the least chance of being adopted.

    It will have no American support. At least support that matters–support from Bernacke and the Goldman Treasury.

  14. @ Youri – Does that say flour head?! According to your article, fat American zombies going weeks w/o a real hamburger, and instead eating more breads, pastas, and rice would be less angry not more angry. Or are you switching around anger levels to account for zombie-ism? ;-)

  17. Frankly I can’t watch Rupert Murdoch, what an A-Hole who has the Hubres to argue about internet changes while he was in his pre-Historic sleep before.

    Only now he discovers that everybody is dumping his shitty newspapers and is on the internets he takes note of it. I had the same arguments with MSM Newspapers who only came on the internet most recently and have the hubres to tell you how to behave on the internet. GET LOST!

    Yeah, JUDGEMENT DAY – THE RISE OF THE ZOMBIES

    Wherein the Zombies are the fat American fluor head population who get very angry after days and weeks without eating a real hamburger and only eating bread, pasta and rice http://tinyurl.com/yc2aobo

  19. @ Youri – More like they need free money b/c the “stress tests” were a sham and the banks were really insolvent. They now need to build up their reserves and play some more casino in order to “remain profitable” and horde ever more money for the day of reckoning.

  20. The Federal Reserve said U.S. banks kept tightening lending standards for companies and consumers last quarter, reinforcing the central bank’s decision to leave its benchmark interest rates at record lows for a long time. http://tinyurl.com/yzhabrx

    So nobody can’t get any money that’s why the big banks have to have free money!!??? Yeah, that makes sense…..

  27. “The point is, do we really want a labor market with day labor work as a career path?

    No, but that’s where we are. Temp work is starting to increase, too:

    It’s bad news for people who have to work for a living. Fewer hours, fewer benefits, and more desperate people competing for fewer jobs = wages being driven down even more.

  30. Kind of hard to cook the numbers and still end up with 10, something% and then not report on the situation while do reporting on how great the recovery is. Still it is a drop of the ocean surrounding it. Pretty genius for those huge retailers like wall mart and home depot and so on; competition on the lowest paid jobs without benefits in the country for just a couple hours work. if this happens how competitive are ppl for goldman sachs? must be the whole block of waiting lines, after all that company makes “profit”/hands out huge bonuses. Guess peasants are just peasants.
