Exactly right, it mirrors every one of my experiences at a local courthouse or USPS location. The people working at most of these locations are literally bottom of the barrel. I'd be far less critical if they made an appropriate wage relative to their lack of skills, but no, can't have that...

Right, the whole support Ron Paul charade combined with your near obsession with racial issues. Sure thing, welfare queen.

I've come to the conclusion that the real money is in "fixing" all these cars, namely repair shops. Of course, the auto dealers literally make a mint off of their service operations, but even the smaller operators make a pretty good buck doing some of the routine service or, God forbid, an out...

Right, except people actually doing something productive aren't "invested" in this site to the extent that you are. Anybody support this administration is more than likely living off the government dole...whether that's a union pension or public welfare. Pretty clear you are part of...

Oil prices, and subsequently prices paid at the pump, are the ONLY thing many of the imbeciles in this country actually pay attention to. I figure the US Gov will more than likely issue some "fuel cards" in the not so distant future to their beholden constituents so as to alleviate the...

I wonder what this so called "job" AK47 has that would keep him in front of the keyboard on ET 7 days a week. I think I'll start a poll to see how many people think AK47 is living on public assistance.

Did you happen to notice that Hopey McChange ran a platform on REFORMING THE BANKING SYSTEM. And what did he do when he got in office? Maintain the status quo, every last bit of it. Nothing changed whatsoever. So blame Bush all you want, but your guy is just as captured as the Bush...

Yes, many people do understand that the largest banks are still in business thanks to government largesse. The acronym TBTF has been widely used over the past several years ("Too Big To Fail")

The guy is a ship lost at sea..He simply "drifts" wherever the current winds blow him. The guy flip flops from "Hopey Progressive" to "Hopey Centrist" and all over the map. Maybe some advisor told him that he should try to "appease" as many groups as possible, but in the process he has...

Yeah, he might miss them because these stories are outnumbered by a factor of 100 to 1. Check the homicide rate in any area of this country and get back to me with your findings. What a fucking twerp you are.

It is very sad. Some crazy shit like that can easily happen to just about anyone as they get caught up in the moment and just for a split second lose their sense of balance. The guy was probably so focused on reaching just a fraction more to get the dumb ball and just went right over. Hell...

There are some excellent polls out there, but it's not the kind of thing the mainstream media is going to report on. It brings me back to my original point. Namely, by the time a poll becomes a bi-weekly or monthly "event", it's more than likely going to use some bag of tricks to meet "the...

I respect the fact that Sandy has some insider knowledge of what's going on at the dealership. A few things that immediately come to mind...First off, he/she is working at dealership outside of D.C.; probably one of a handful of areas in this country that has not been dramatically impacted by...

That's why people assemble data points and reach a conclusion from alternative sources. It also helps if you have your pulse on the economy from the ground level. Ask any small business if business is picking up, then start doing that nationally, etc, etc...As opposed to centrally planned...

centrally planned markets at their finest with the news chasing the market wherever it "goes".

Sort of like the University of Michigan consumer confidence report which is always at complete odds with the Gallop poll. I'll put on the "tinfoil hat" as most of our resident groupthink experts will call it..but honestly it's not exactly a major revelation that there is alot of implied...

IMHO, that is the only chart I'm willing to pay atttention to any longer. Since the unemployed can drop off the ledger after x weeks, the labor participation rate makes far more sense. Of course, I'm sure all of those "commission only" or part time work might make it's way onto that chart...

He is right. Obama's most rabid supporters will vote on race allegiance, gay marriage and continue to vote based on the "anti-Bush" rhetoric four years later on. All we need to do is read AK47's posts to get a pulse on this group of voters.

Stop making sense. Their heads are spinning.

A game of hot potato. One company that has lived off of subsidy will buy the garbage product of another company saved from the realities of the marketplace. And people wonder why it's called a kleptocracy.
