Planned Collapse of America Article SCARY STUFF!

[quote=socrattt]Nutjob posts??? Let’s see, you must be the below average American collecting unemployment and expecting our government to fix all the problems that lazy people like you create. As the post reads, I just thought it was interesting. I never said I believed everything in the article.

Go get a job and help our economy instead of whining. Smart people who understand basic economics actually see a lot of these issues causing a huge problem in our national economic situation. Complacency is one of the main reasons this democracy is failing. We have trained too many people to expect rather than to work.

Thanks for the encouragement.
But in my own defense your assumption or intuition of my work ethic or employment situation could not be more off base.

Could you please elucidate the logic that led you to your opinion ?

Coop, I agree with you. Our friend urbanrealtor must have a huge client base with his crack pipe jokes.

It really is sad to see so much corporate and political corruption. I wish I was in a government position to start taking these corrupt politicians out of office one by one. I am sure I wouldn’t last very long in office. We need to clean things up a great deal and this is not a Democrat or Republican issue, it is just issue of GREED and POWER.

Unfortunately these positions lead to money, greed and power which changes so many people and very few are able to stay focused and do what is right for the citizens of this country. Now that all theses problems have come to the forefront, I think things will have to be changed or we will be in big trouble very soon!!

[quote=fat_lazy_union_worker]Frankly, I was a little surprised about how badly the local S.D. economy is doing these days. I would have thought that the economy is more diverse than say the Bay Area (which is concentrated in tech).

It might be diverse, but one thing I’ve noticing it’s only diverse in the sense that S.D. hosts a lot of companies that aren’t HQ’d here. So it seems like when the economy contracts, and companies need to cut heads, they start by closing remote locations. That said, how many major employers are either (1) hq’d here or (2) have an office that accounts for more than 30% of the entire company’s workforce? Don’t have an answer to that question.[/quote]

I think there are a lot FLU. Just off the top of my head:

QCOM, Intuit, Amylin, LPL Financial, Websense, SAIC, General Atomics, AMN Healthcare, PETCO, Callaway, TOPPS, Jack in the Box, Encore Capital, etc…

This was the most truthful part of the article…
