    aint it great how history repeats itself?
    here we are on the anniversary of black thursday,the beginning of the great crash of 1929 and already they had to halt futures trading and the headlines are predicting circuit breaker drops in the market today and using terms like "blood bath" to describe todays trading thus far.


    happy anniversary!!!:party: :rolleyes:

    Yup, 8242 now, getting closer. So in around 5 minutes it dropped 9 points so lets just say a conservative point per minute rate it will require 400 minutes (6hours'ish) so we can likely do it. I mean we all have have a goal, why not shoot for total failure since we did so well at total fucked up! :D

    What amazed me more is that she did not ask him to elaborate on it, I mean it was a generic explaination without more information. Why would a reported want that to slide by??

    Tough times. But what the heck. Let's just put our hand over our heart and sing God Bless America one more time. And put some more yellow ribbons on our SUVs.

    I'm investing in new recordings of God Bless America and more yellow ribbons in prep for the next government concocted crisis to jerk peoples emotions and shape public opinion.

    Between the crash of the stock market, Black Presidential candidates (i.e, blacks in general) and ‘The End of the World Apocalypse’ I’m surprised you have time for anything else :toetap05:

    The Dow did close over 300 points lower today then it did yesterday so doom gloom or just a little more negative views shit looks bad. I can say its taking now roughly a week for 2 of my friends who drive truck to get runs heading west due to lack of freight. That means produce is setting on the west coast not moving east, soon either that will require trucks to drive empty all the way to California to get the produce or no produce at all. If they dead head all the way to CA then we must say prices will be like $10 a pound for lettuce.
