Quoted from Grayman_EM:

2008 was different whole banking system almost collapsed. Do you think bank insurance could have covered that? Would have been lucky .10 on the dollar maybe?
People just don't know how close it came.

If you think about the rate at which higher paying jobs are disappearing from this country, I think I saw an article a month or so ago that said something like 80% of the jobs or more in the country are $20 or less an hour now, and factor that in to the next down turn, it only makes me think that the shocks will come harder and faster as time goes on. Each shock with less "recovery" than before. I'm going to guess that there aren't may people who make $20 or less buying pinball, that don't still live at mom and dads house. Before I'm dead, I fully expect the US to be a certified 3rd world country.

If a man can lose his job and in turn his life as a whole by saying something that a woman thinks is offensive and being blasted all over the internet for all to see, does that mean that If I'm offended by capitalism I can get paid without having to go to work ever again?

And who is this border wall for anyway? Are they keeping them out, or keeping us in?

I remember when everything was all "celebrate our differences!" and now everything is "we should all be the same!" White women must love black men, and the rest of the men must be gay or they are haters, and why would anyone want to have a better paying job to live a better more fulfilling life instead of crying about everything they might find a little bit uncomfortable or "offensive"?

They are all trash. Playing good cop bad cop while they push the rest of us down in a whole. People started talking about rights and equality and everyone at the top of the hill said "sure.... we can do that. you can all be equal. Here, you're all poor now." does that work for you?

Lol i feel less educated after reading this.

I feel less educated after writing it too.

I think I'll go listen to some Lil Wayne now.

Hey Curry, what was that about the moon?
