More Evidence Great Depression II Is Here: 30mm Unemployed in U.S. (19% of workforce)

Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:

You forgot Peak Fish

:D

LOL... Hey, I actually fish the Jersey Coast. In case of a depression, I can still catch food right off my dock. Clams, crabs, weakfish, blues, stripers....


I sweat hurricanes and N'oreasters more than I do recessions.
 
Quote from Anaconda:

You don't even live in the US. Your experience of USA is obviously from tourist areas. Let me guess, Disneyland & Disneyworld.

You're clueless, thanks for confirming that. Low cost of living & very high standard of living? LOL! Not for the average folks.
I lived in AZ in the 90s. Clueless? That would be you.

Yes, you can catch them - but are you willing to eat a three-headed blue?

I do note comments about boomer's retirement and leaving the work force as somewhat longer term mitigating.

depends upon which part of US compared to which part of the world you have in mind.

I'll let you pick. Tell me what part of the US is worse off than a specific part of a third world country. And tell me what aspect.
 
Quote from Anaconda:

It's not the worst but far from the best and dropping fast, very fast. When the shit really hits the fan, it will be too late to realize the reality.

Step out of your bubble sometime, the real USA is nothing like the corny yuppie world you live in. Very funny to hear your comments on Baltimore, it's amazing how you can live there and be completely clueless about what most of the city is like.

My bubble? I've traveled over 35 countries, lived on 4 continents and worked with people of all sorts of nationalities. I've gone to some of the nicest pubs in Manchester, UK (waiting for a reaction on that one) and slept in some of the worst, flea bitten "hotels" in places like Yerevan or Baku or Almaty. I speak multiple languages, have bank accounts in three countries and now live in the states.

If I live in a bubble, who are you? The real world equivalent of James Bond? Don't get petty and incorrect just because you don't like what I have to say - debate it.

As for Baltimore, I am FULLY aware of the bad parts of Baltimore. But as I said, they are downtown and nowhere near I am. In response to Makloda's comment about crime in the US, I stated it is in high population centers - which is EXACTLY where it is. I said nothing different.

So what were you trying to prove? Where is it you live again and how is it you are so experienced in world affairs? Please, enlighten us. I'm sure this will be met with silence, but let's hope.
 
We do sandbass, calico, big bass, blue cat and halibuts and Blue Fin and Yellow Fin and lot's of Dorado (which you freaks call Dolphin Fish) :D

So now imagine a full blown social breakdown, and all those fishing boats that overfish the seas are now out of commission.

It'll be like Bubba Gump shrimp after the hurricane!
 
Don't worry I know people with 1000's pounds of Gold (or so they say).

:D:D:D:D

Quote from ByLoSellHi:

One other thing - dozens of replies in this thread, most constructive, a few immaterial or childish.

But as of yet, no one has specifically responded to the core issue of the relevance of a 19%, throng of 30 million unemployed in this country.

Does anyone have reason to contest this figure?

It is approaching the rough estimate of 25% UE during the Great Depression.

Does anyone think it doesn't go higher from here? Significantly higher?
