    No shit- [​IMG]

    I caught a glipse of the news the other day; I was having dinner with the ex in a Trattoria in Manhattan and on TV they were showing some needless fucking spat with U.S. helicopters within Iranian borders.

    So- they are practicing! :D

    RIGHT!

    The news are not saying it, but this is MORE THAN WHAT HAPPENED IN 1929.

    I'm pretty sure; I'll check the data. [​IMG]

    There is nothing to worry about.
    We can eat cheeseburgers forever and ever.
    The government loves you.
    They would never let the economy crash because they love us.

    the GDP dropped 13% in a few days during the initial stock market crash

    I believe it has only dropped around 2% so far this time


    I am walking to the grocery store, anyone want anything?

    they say it will bottom between 2 and 3 thousand and stay there for a very long time..
    a lot of economists are suggesting it will take as much as 25 years to make it back to its peak at 14,000.

    dont bet on it being there for retirement in 10 or 15 years is all im sayin..

    Short-term deflation, long-term hyperinflation.
