ParticipantC’mon, FLU. The best you can do is a story about some laid-off middle manager from the toy industry?
Toys are the most discretionary item in the universe. Of course that industry is gong to get hit during a recession.
And middle managers? Companies can get the most bang for their buck by cutting the layers of middle schmanagement flab.
This guy was lucky to ever have a job. If it wasn’t for the housing bubble, he’d probably be working at some call center or something. Plus, I bet he’s spent all the money he made on frivolous crap and sent his daughter to some $50,000 a year private school so that she could get a worthless art history degree.
Let’s see a story about someone with real skills and a real job who has gotten laid off.

December 7, 2008 at 4:21 PM in reply to: Laid-off workers occupy Chicago factory like in 1930’s #312573Participant[quote=paramount]I have been amazed of discussion on this board about how RE in San Diego should roar back in the Spring.
Give me a break!
The idea of a Depression is not out of the realm of possibility.
Instead of RE classes you might consider taking Gardening Classes or others that will aid in your survival.
We may not fall into a Depression, and if not you’ll be a better gardener for it all.

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but all those discussions about RE roaring back have been started by realtors. Supposedly there is just an unfathomable number of people out there who can afford to pay all cash. Those who can afford to put 20% to 30% down is essentially infinite.

ParticipantIf society didn’t collapse during The Great Depression or The Great Panic of 18-oh-whatever or any of the other depressions of the past 200+ years and our country was even able to survive a Civil War, then why would there be civil unrest during this current calamity?
Food and clothing are much cheaper on a relative basis than it was during 30’s. People can easily feed and clothe themselves with even a minimum wage job. I think things are going to get worse from an economic perspective, but society isn’t any more likely to collapse at this time than it was during any of the other harsh economic environments.
By the way, when is gold going to do something other than go down 5% every day?
