A brief note on the economy
I’ll write more about this later, because I have some serious concerns, but for now, I was browsing Fark and found this comment, in response to an article stating the severity of the economic crisis. For those non-farkers, the word “fark” is a synonym for the obvious four letter curse word that it closely resembles. Just sayin’:
How farked is farked? A few days ago it was going to be the worst recession since the early 70’s. Yesterday I heard it compared to the 1950’s. And now we’ve crossed the Great Depression threshold. And it’s only Monday! I’m going to get ahead of the curve here and compare it to the comet impact that burst “the dinosaur bubble” c.150 million BC. Sell! Sell! Sell! I suggest a diverse portfolio of cave paintings, fur loincloths, very large wooden clubs, and raw meat to weather the coming troubles. Watch CNBC for further updates.
No one could have predicted that letting a semi-retarded dry drunk with a history of abject business failure run the country for 8 years might end up having negative economic consequences.
I don’t like what’s happening here. I think the government’s response to the situation is retarded (any situation, actually), and I think that my Iguana, drunk, blind, and bleeding could do a better job of fixing the problem than they have. I mean really, “Oooh, oooh, let’s send everyone $600! That’ll fix everything!” == logic of retarded test monkeys on crack.
But then, logic appears to be increasingly fleeting these days. More on this topic later.
