  1. This thread is "humorous" and is apparently above your intellect. Please find a nice quiet place to rest - take the weekend off.

  4. All these gov't statistics are a joke. From the birth/death model to the way they report GDP on a annualized quarter to quarter basis (corp revenues down 10-15% with a fractional decline in GDP) the stats are deemed worthless. It just gives us something to talk about.

  5. Many of the unemployed I know are taking a break from their fruitless job search.

    These won't show up as unemployed either.

    People in ghettos that live on welfare don't count as unemployed either...

    I think we will have to deal with inflation a little later on and that will be the follow-on crisis to the crisis, both of which are caused by Government stupidity on several fronts...

  9. Check with the Germans. Some of brothels have adopted the "fun pass".... All the food, drink, and sex you want from 10AM to 4PM... 70 Euros! :D

  10. This is where you need economies of scale to help out.

    For instance, in a large, too-big-to-fail company where the CEO is valued at 500 times the average worker, he can fire everyone else and still have the value of 500 workers working for the company.

    Also, if you can screw up big enough, you can get bailed-out.
