ParticipantUCGal: As Al Capone famously opined: “You get more with a kind word and a gun, than just a kind word”.
There’s something about telling someone you’re hungry over the barrel of 12ga that just gets more attention than without.
Just kidding… Sort of.

They didn’t fill all the positions at once. What’s so suspicious about that?
[/quote]That doesn’t make sense. Why wouldn’t they just go back through the applicants they had on file, especially if they supposedly had this massive number of job seekers? Does Trader Joe’s like to deal with a horde of applicants when it’s not necessary? I know you can’t answer that, but what do you think? Like I said, it doesn’t pass the smell test.
That and the fact that Trader Joe’s is actually expanding in the area makes your 3rd hand anecdote seem like a pretty weak “tipping point”. Not that there isn’t plenty of bad economic news. It’s pretty much all that gets reported during a recession.

ParticipantThanks for the links Partypup and Zeitgeist.
The Mormons have this process highly specialized. I have a Mormon friend that offered to take me to their packing facility and get as much as I want. She says the food tastes really good too.
I am still trying to imagine what things could be like. Will we be sitting in our homes without electricity and eating our dehydrated food for a year? Kind of reminds of living off of Top Ramen in college. What will we do all day?
And if there is only enough water to drink, then we won’t be able to shower, so we will develop horrible gross skin conditions as seen on some of the homeless.
I cannot imagine it will all shut down at once…it will be more a gradual process, like Al Gore’s description of the frog in the bunsen burner. The heat keeps getting turned up and we get cooked.
