Is a Crash Impending?

The market rises on little or no good news. Job openings are few. The government has done nothing to prevent companies from outsourcing millions of precious jobs, and I don't expect it to. Why is the Dow over 10,000? How much better off are we now than when it dipped down to near 6,000? We're worse off, and investors are just speculating they'll catch the rebound somewhere on the way up. Well be patient and keep your holdings for a long-ass time, and maybe one day their dreams will come true, far in the future.

Wake Up America, You’re Sinking

Bravo, and well-said. America is decadent.

WSJ Chooses Spin Over Precision

Since I disproportionately share the US Dollar with that idiot Rupert Murdoch, and he has more bucks than me, I am being adversely affected by him when he makes misleading remarks to an audience of investors in the periodical he ruined. If I didn't carry US Dollars in my wallet, I wouldn't care as much. But since I'm trapped like an animal in the same country and economy as Rupert Murdoch and other worthless people like him, and have always been, I'm held hostage to a weaker currency that buys me less in exchange for true value- my labor services- but keeps him rich. God he screwed the WSJ. He shouldn't be allowed to offer products and services for exchange under the US Dollar. He should be boycotted from currency. His news products and services are inferior. The problem is that the reality would hold me boycotted from the currency. I wasn't born an elitist, so I'm destined for a life of toil and struggle against my will. Ahh, who cares. I've already disowned the Dollar. Life is worthless because I have to live it in the dirty US empire with scum like Rupert Murdoch. And who's blaming him? If I was given the life of splendor he was given, I'd probably sink just as low to maintain and build my fortune. I'm human, too. Just a human without nearly as much damn luck. To succeed in this shit country, it seems like all you need is luck, and nothing else counts.

Will the Economic Nightmares Ever End?

Yes, the economic nightmares shall end. Nightmares end. Don't be sure of yourself just as to how they will end. Just be assured that they will, in one form or another. Or another.

Watch Out Economy: Stormy Weather Ahead

Just lower minimum wage to $1.00 per hour and increase maximum occupancy regulations in apartments. Then you can hire 8 people for the price of one, and they all officially have jobs and income.

Helicopter Ben to the Rescue

Ben's not doing too bad a job, considering mission impossible. Try catching up to a jet plane in your stick-shift economy automobile. High gear isn't enough. These modern planes from the most recent century- well, they fly. Maybe a couple of centuries ago planes didn't fly and an automobile of some kind could catch up. But hell, once a fast plane is flying in the air, it's hard to even catch up with a rocket-powered automobile.

Automobile-based systems with nowhere new they're going are obsolete in the face of the power of more modern aerospace-level engineering.

Fiscal Stimulus Package Won't Avert the Recession

I applaud the brave forecast. I myself would too have the courage to suggest the same. Bravo.

Futures Off a Tad...

My statement that I wrote yesterday is consistent with the futures readings in the charts here today. What if I'm that right just off the top of my head? That would be cool.

U.S. Economic Outlook: Debt, Dollars, Delusion

Perhaps employers can distribute wages to their slaves in the form of payments on their credit cards? Wheelie-dealie with the credit card companies and who knows? 2% extra pay because credit isn't really money- it's the working man's money. You have to pay it back. I bet most employers would give credit cards to their employees as payment if they could get away with it.

Can Ben Rescue this Economy?

no way out; depression leading to complete financial collapse

The Case for Recession Strengthens

This is pretty cool. There is very little incentive for Americans to learn proper software development technique. I have never seen anybody rewarded handsomely for doing the job right. Money and US-brand corruption and favoritism has always prevented good programmers from getting paid. So why the hell work so hard for a job that's so demanding but never paid much and never will as long as payments are made in the dirty US Dollar? So less software equity under the US Dollar creates for a lesser value of the Dollar. Further, most engineering disciplines are just as stupid. Mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics. I have specific friends I spoke with who were beyond fed up with the stupid crap they put up with working their trade. These guys are damn good at what they do. The US Dollar is undeserving of good engineering, as the US economy is lacking of the environment fitting for an engineer. So the economy recedes and goes without, for instance, quality engineers. Paycheck programmers and paycheck engineers don't get the job done. They work until they get their stupid paychecks.

Staunch Government Intervention Needed to Avoid Full-Blown Depression

I never wanted to start a business in the US. I was intent on receiving my lawsuit on time, pressing charges on a vile health system worker, and leaving this country to monetize in a superior system. The US Government would rather me not. Desperate scums. Take care of your own children, you upper class losers.

National Debt & Interest Payments For Fiscal 2008

Half a trill on interest? Yikes. I was right about the US Government required to draw on foreign loans and inflate the money supply to make interest on total loans. Not quite the capital my equity is worthy of.

Did President Bush Say That the U.S is Broke?

Wreck the econo-my? Ain't got no mon-ey. Bush he know what's up. He know 'bout securi-ty.

And You Thought I Was Negative about the Economy

Cynical is non self-defamatory for "I wish I could get my head out of the sand like you, but I'm just not that brave in my own self-delusion."
