OT:Law Firm Associates Getting SLAUGHTERED…

[quote=JohnAlt91941][quote=partypup]
I knew a tipping point had occurred in January when a friend of mine in Santa Maria applied for a part time job as a cashier at a Trader Joe’s in Santa Maria ($8/hour), and 1000 people showed up.

I’m not saying things are good, but you do realize this was a brand new store? At a well known company that probably advertised the jobs. It’s not like 1000 people were there for one cashier’s job.

In 1979 I went to apply at a new Big Bear in El Cajon and there were hundreds of people waiting in line. A poor economy like now, but not the end of the world.

[/quote]
Actually, many more showed up for the 3 or so other positions available, including manager.

But it is a fact: there were roughly 1000 applicants for one (1) cashier job, according to the assistant manager who spoke with my friend.

The human race has survived a lot of tough things and we’re gonna survive this no problem. We might not dress as well and we might smell worse but we’ll still laugh and have parties and weddings and get drunk.

Of course the human race will survive. I never argued otherwise in my post. Life is just going to change monumentally. Hundreds of lawyers and support staff being laid off – along with 600,000 other people each month – is part of that monumental change.

But rather than pick dandelions from the side of the road along with the starving hoards you mention, why are you making fun of the dried food I have packed away? Seems to me that freeze dried lasagna would be more tasty than dandelion sandwich with a side of daisys. But hey, I’m no chef.

As for gold: the goal is to use that to buy real things before we reach the “Mad Max” scenario you describe above. This crisis is emerging in stages, Borat. Do you seriously think we’re going to go from Dow 7,000 to Mad Max in a week? If you prefer to rely on a dollar that is rapidly losing value to purchase your real goods, then more power to you. And good luck with that when Obama passes his next trillion dollar stimulus package.

I thought we went through this in 2000 when all the computers were gonna go haywire. Oh wait a minute the world kept on going. And of course in our old USSR we had economic collapse but wait a minute everyone (well, almost everyone) survived. Same for the Weimar hyperinflation, same for the Argentine crisis, same for the Asian crisis and on and on. Yes people made less money and lost their retirements and there were lots of sacrifices. This is gonna happen here too. I am glad that you are considering growing your own food, that is a smart skill to have. So is repairing cars because people aren’t gonna be able to buy new ones. Welding and sewing will come in handy as lots of things will need mending.

The dried food isn’t gonna last long. Gold doubloons are gonna make you a target of the big bad criminal types and there will be plenty of those. Any investments on electronic trading websites can be manipulated and made worthless, that is the specialty of the Wall St. criminal class. Do you really think you can outsmart or outcompete them? They run your government! They just held a gun to the congress and got $700B a couple of months ago and they can do it anytime they want.

I think you and I are mostly in agreement about what will happen but we differ in the right thing to do. I wish you luck and that is sincere, not in a mean way like you wish me luck. You seem like a smart guy and you will do allright.

I actually never got the Y2K thing. I never even bought spare batteries for the Event. So I’m not one of those people who thought the world was going to end in 2000. And for the record, I still don’t think the world is going to end or that humanity is going to die off. Things may, however, get so bad that many people may wish they were dead.

And yes, you and I are in mostly in agreement about what’s going to happen, but we do seem to differ as to the best path to survival. So be it.

I do wish you good luck, Borat — and not in a mean-spirited sort of way 🙂
