“Everybody agrees that the recession is over”

Haven't you heard?
Den and I having fearful, paranoid cynical unsupported fantasies about economy.
Now you too?

re: "now you know" topic.

Yeah, and we're also hysterical, illogical and angry (I wonder why we would be angry ) and our views on everything are completely irrelevant.

I haven't slogged through that trainwreck yet and I may be personalizing something that has absolutely nothing to do with anything I've said, but if it's about the white hot frothy somethingorother ragey comment I made, the point I was making was clearly missed. FWIW, it wasn't to portray anyone as white hot furious and ragey paranoid; it was to point out how ridiculous it was to call what had been quoted love spewing and to illustrate how silly such broad brush labels are.

If that has nothing to do with anything, then well, oopsy and nevermind.

Oh, I'm angry all right!
Angry on people who will not let go their pink glasses to save their lives!
I probably shouldn't, denial is a normal part of grieving, just a bit stuck on this stage, should be on acceptance already..

Relax, Mary, breath in - and out, in - out, slooowwlyy..

Ah, I read a little further. Nevermind, then. Color me red and all that.

Look, we've done our best. Some people just won't look at the big red letters written on the wall right in front of their faces. And I have a feeling somehow us capitalists will get blamed for THAT too!

(Psst--I hope you're building your stockpile--I hear things might get worse before they get better!)

Yeah, and probably sooner than some may think....

just in the last two days we have lost three local businesses-two restaurants and a gym. The gym actually sold gift cards and memberships to people for CHristmas then closed its doors on CHristmas eve not even telling the employees who showed up to work that day. I know a woman and her dtr who worked there-it was the only source of income for the home now its gone. All the people who bought gifts for there are out of luck. If the recession is over we missed the memo cause its still in full swing here.
