    recession

    Hahaha. No. Big Number Only Goes Up.

    You will sit in the unemployment line and watch the stock ticker rise and know this economy is simply not for you anymore.

    It’s not about generations it’s about class. There are Gen X, and Millennials in the board rooms now. Soon there will be Gen Z. The people in the Suite are born in to and raised by a different class than you or me. They don’t see us as people. Do not hope on the next generation, because it will have it’s parasite class as well.

        Xennial here, the arthritis started in my 30s. My Dr is scheduling knee replacements. I will likely need hip replacements, and hand surgery too.

    Maybe we’re already there but anyone get the impression SpongeBob is going to be the next version of those gangster looney tunes designs that were everywhere 20-30 years ago?

    If you remove the top few stocks, we have been in a recession IIRC. Just the top few stocks just keep spending money on each other on capex to negate their taxes. Even if the market crashes, big companies now have real estate exposure as a hedge.

      Yeah, they used to be far more common before the advent of modern central banking policy in the 1970s and 1980s, even though you’d actually expect the opposite to happen, all else being equal, because of the way recessions are defined. By only looking at GDP growth, it ignores population growth.

      On the other hand, GDP, even on a per capita basis, has become increasingly less useful for defining recessions since productive capacity isn’t really what is lacking in any modern developed economy.

        Can confirm, worked as a security in my early 20s. Training was minimal and they didn’t pay me enough to care or even stay awake oftentimes. Training consisted of few hours of legal side and just an hour of grappling, which was optional.

        Most of the work is done through camers, so if one is fast enough. They can get away with whatever they chose to take.

        This one time i got sent to some fancier store on a day someone chose to take a fancy bottle of wine, nearly 1000€. He got away with it as well. He asked clerk to see it and as soon as the clerk handed him the bottle. He ran for it and by the time security could react. We just saw his back in the distance running away.

            Yeah, opt-out option was meant more for older people or for women. As I’m neither i was highly encouraged to opt-in. Though even that was kinda pointless. Most of the time it was instructor explaining and demonstrating and then we could try out few moves, once, with a co-operating opponent, who did half the job of falling down as well.
