Or they can and we've just been brainwashed to think that for some reason all of a sudden we can't afford our own underwear when we had for decades before shipping jobs away.

No you don't. After 10 years you are not required to tell them of a bankruptcy. It completely disappears from your credit report. I know this because I did a bankruptcy as a stupid 20 year old that racked up about 20 grand in credit cards and a vehicle I couldn't afford. My credit score is...

Nice try, but no respected scientist would ever be foolish enough to call something a 1 in 1 chance 19 years into the future or even 1 year into the future. That's what separates the average housewife prophet from a real expert. :D

hokey dokey Nostra...let me know when the next massive asteroid is going to hit too since you obviously know the future. But I still see you missed my point. I'd rather be dead than living in constant fear that somebody will kill me for my last piece of bread and my pretty silver. You enjoy...

Let's get real here. Nobody on this board has any superior knowledge or insight into what will happen in the future. Everybody thinks they are Nostradamus. If there ever was this great global collapse with all the severity that the local "Prophets" predict, then it doesn't matter what the hell...

lol...you must be about the same age as me...because I remember all those things that were going to "destroy" mankind too. :D

So let's get this straight...you admit to being wrong a year or 2 ago, but this time you're going to be right in the next 1 to 2 years? haha...ok. :D

I'm sorry...but wouldn't "it's different this time" mean that no new job creation happens again? So how "is it different this time"?

Exactly! There's a reason why America has always been so far ahead. It's because all the best talent of the world chooses to move here and work. Immigration is precisely what is keeping America strong. Once we start losing immigrants, we lose our luster and success. I have no problem with...

The townhouse complex I live in has 6 units. 3 of these units have been vacant for 6 months. I haven't had a neighbor in almost forever. And this is with no inflation. Now imagine if inflation were to take off and all of a sudden the prices of rent doubled or quadrupled. If my landlord can't...

Oh jesus...these gold bugs are funny. "Peak gold"..yeah right. Considering that all the gold we've mined would fit into a swimming pool and the amount of gold in the ground would cover the entire world knee deep, I'm pretty sure we haven't reached "peak gold". These morons are either oblivious...

Here you go...here's your answer. "New York State’s unemployment insurance system, besieged by claims from laid-off workers, ran out of money on the first business day of the year and is borrowing daily from the federal government to bridge a fast-growing and potentially huge deficit, state...

So...ADP works for the government then since their unemployment numbers usually are fairly close to the government numbers? The conspiracies will never stop.

lmao...Texas will go to Mexico...yeah...this guy OBVIOUSLY knows nothing about American culture. I think Texans would rather burn down their entire state than join with Mexico.

That article is hilarious. Alaska is going to break off and become part of Russia. :D Have anybody told the Alaskans yet that they're going to merge with Russia? This is a guy that quite obviously knows very little about American culture.

That is precisely my point. Trying to "predict" what is going to happen in the future is ridiculous. You don't know what the fed is going to do. Inflation was already beginning to be a problem in 1974. Where is our inflation right now? There was an oil supply shock in the 70's. Are we going to...

Or maybe 2000 was our 1974, and we are now in 1983 ready to start a 2 decade boom. :p Seriously though...trying to correlate time frames is such hogwash. It's called curve fitting. It means nothing really. The only statistic that matters IMO is the acceleration/deceleration of trends in the...

lol...the other perma bear technique. Use adhoms against somebody that exposes your obvious obsession. Don't you have some doomsday news articles to be reading about how the actual unemployment is -100000000%?:D

Yep...and it's true. The perma-bears are completely predictable. Every day...just insert "THE MASSES ARE BEING MANIPULTED" into every post no matter what the news. It's much simpler that way. :D

lol...It seems to me that the unemployment rate could be -100% and GDP could be -100% and all the perma-bears would STILL be claiming that all the masses are being lied too.
