Economy speeding up? WTF???

Perfect Economic Storm?

Are we about to get smacked by a Perfect Economic Storm? "About to get smacked!? What do you call the last two years?" you say. I know, things have been bad and continue to get worse. But the markets seem to have crossed the rubicon today, headed toward serious doom. Oil prices continue to rise and earnings are going nowhere but down. Many issues are crossing below six year lows. War with Iraq, and God knows where else, is imminent.

And there's another MAJOR story that is not getting much coverage in the establishment media: the longshoremen lockout. Each day the ports are closed takes backlogs a week to unwind until things return to normal. Each day the ports are closed the U.S. economy loses approximately $1 billion. This is not a labor issue, this is a national security issue. If this longshoremen situation is not resolved in very short order, the U.S. government has a contingency plan to use United States Marines to keep the ports open. The government realizes that the longshoremen (the most militant union of them all) will not allow anyone to break any picket lines without a full tilt riot (or worse) ensuing. But even those guys won't stand up to .mil. What does this mean? I don't know how likely this is, but there is definitely a fair chance that all of the ports in the western U.S. may soon be placed under military control.

I don't think the port operators would be this bold unless they "knew" something, if you know what I mean. And all of this nonsense is happening as the major swindlers are gearing up for the critical Christmas shopping season:

In Portland, terminal operators told about 200 dockworkers to leave the Port of Portland's largest container terminal at about 3:15 p.m., in the middle of what union members had expected to be a full day shift.

"I never thought this would happen," said Bruce Holte, president of ILWU Local 8 in Portland. "It affects our whole economy. The Pacific Maritime Association wants to destroy our economy. Who knows how long they'll want to play this game."

I wasn't being "funny"... oh well

This is sadly true. If you want a job, your resume must proudly wear your bullshit.

I may have worded it a bit humourously, but I was actually being serious. I don't care, however -- karma is karma :)

But you really do have to BS everything and present yourself as some sort of living God, even if the facts couldn't possibly check out.

All the other things you mentioned work whether you BS or not, however.

Oh my goodness. I post the same thing as the parent and I'm a troll, while his is modded up as interesting.

The inmates are running the asylum.

JerseyTom is a freak.

The guy who posted this story is, well, let me put it in his words, "...My name is Tom Limoncelli and I'm a 32-year old poly, bi, white male that lives in New Jersey." Dude, next time, leave the details out...sheesh.
