Obama with the help of Bush and the Fed. avoided an all time record breaking RECESSION. Thank God in heaven above that we narrowly avoided that. Since then, the economy has been very very steadily getting better and better.
I consider it to be a giant step backward. Fortunately, I think a President Biden will restore honor and progress.
These are all very bad things. Let the systems that need to fail, fail. They will just continue the same bad shit that got us there in the first place. When it actually does hit us, the effects are way more hurtful than if we let the banks fail. Look at the path we are on now. Who the fuck pays for $3,000 a month 1 bedroom apartments now? Its all fucked up. Everything is prohibitively more expensive. Real wages are stagnant. If you think this economy is good, I have some swamp land in Arizona I'd like to sell you. When the rates go up (and they will have to eventually), the economy will crash. They did minor hikes, and the markets tanked. Normalization = utter destruction.
El Prez as Blazers' owner: Let's not do any coaching at all. And no trades. If a player is doing badly, leave him in the game. If the team is failing, let it fail. Once it fails completely, a new and better team will miraculously appear in its place. barfo
Little Johnny goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?" Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way. I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Mommy is the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you The People. The nanny, well, consider her The Working Class. Your baby brother, we'll call him The Future. Now go think about this and see if it makes sense." So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying and runs to his room only to find that his diapers are very soiled. So the little boy goes to his parents' room. Mom is sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he looks through the peephole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand what politics is now." "Good son, tell me in your own words then what politics are." The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."
