I've read a couple of interesting articles that basically said that during times of economic hardship people begin to dress and act more conservatively. During the Roaring 20's many didn't really consider consequences and there was more than enough jobs for everyone. But after the stock market collapse in 1929 (thanks Hoover!) things changed. Woman stop wearing short skirts and revealing clothing. Men began wearing suites and ties more often. The reason for this is as more economic hardship comes about the more competition there is for jobs, and appearance plays a big role in who someone hires. Big account executives don't want to hire greasy lookin' hippies to manage their accounts. So people must adapt to the changing times. I think it's gonna eventually lead to a shift in society becoming more conscious of their actions and appearance. Just wait till the massive layoffs begin... there will be a lot less long haired freaky peoples. | ||||

| MIIDAJ Chaplain | Re: It's the Economy Stupid... I brought up the prospect of inflation earlier today in my history class. This fat idiot girl told me I was a moron because we are currently in a deflationary period. I just stared at her for a few seconds before reminding her that when you put vast amounts of money into the marketplace, eventually you have inflation, and if the dollar drops along with that, then you have hyper inflation. Goddamn Obama lover. Sincerely, Slutter McGee |

The guy was going on saying "but we can't just do nothing!". I said, right. But what we are doing now is not helping anyone. The professor used an analogy I didn't really want to use, but decided to anyways. He said that the markets are "constipated" and it needs medicine. When I asked what the medicine was he had said more intervention and that this bail out bill and lower interest rates was the medicine. I then made the relation to how that's not the medicine and made the analogy that if Cheese got us constipated in the first place, and that cheese is easy and cheap credit, how is eating more cheese going to help out our body (the market) in easing "constipation" (frozen markets). Then I said we need to let the body digest the cheese. Also said it's probably going to be uncomfortable for a while until it passes through, but that if we continue to shove cheese down our throats our insides are gonna eventually explode. He didn't like that and just kept saying "its gotta work and if not then we are in deep trouble!" Goddamn McCain lover.

| MIIDAJ Chaplain | Re: It's the Economy Stupid... Stockmarket is rebounding. Figured this would happen. Might continue like this if the bailout works in the short term. Lets see how long it takes before inflation gets out of control. Sincerely, Slutter McGee |

| What's the Splatter? | Re: It's the Economy Stupid... A one or two day upswing in the market is not going to change anything. The people that got burned the most look forward to these "up" days as a way to short term some profit and try to recoup losses. A few days of "up" will be negated within a week by a "large" down.... |
