(Not really) .. sorry, this qualifies for a TLDR comment. .. I'm posting it anyway.
Happy Monday! So many things to rant about in the last month. Indeed so many that I've not ranted on any. Why? I dunno. Life. Good things are happening around me. My family continues to prove their awesome, life doesn't suck as I still have a decent job and things are overwhelmingly well when I stop to think about other life's I've seen.
Again, so why have I not been posting? I dunno. Like a wise one once said: "When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead." True story. (Again, I dunno. I'm just fine, really.)
THE STOCK MARKET AND THE WORLD IS CRASHING!!! IT'S THE WORSTEST AND GREATEST(greatest, as in the worst thing ever) DEPRESSION!! Didn't you hear? Good, 'cause it's pretty much bunk. You will be OK. .. I promise. The world isn't ending (yet). Alarmism really peeves me. Like, it's good to alarm a neighbor that his house is burning down, that his zipper was left undone, that he ran over your poodle while backing out of the garage, etc. .. But seriously, WTFetch is up with the ridiculous end of the world claims that the news keeps on with?? We're still not in a recession .. and how long has everyone been talking about the word recession? (too long)
I'm no statistician, and I remain a staunch believer in the fact that math is hard. Seriously though, 1 week of panic, and the world markets are in shambles?!
Weaksauce.
WTFetch, Let's give HUGE bundles of cash to greedy companies who take advantage of the average idiotic Joe who bites more than he can chew and completely ignore the concept of RESPONSIBILITY!
Sure the banks and market love the money, and the retarded government wants to feel like it's actually done something by approving a bill that's full of ridiculous earmarks and pork for their own greed. .. At least the idiots you voted into office get what they want out of the deal.
Fact is, we're in the current sitch because we put ourselves there. Gov money won't do anything but freak the market out more because of the threats of gov interventions to business. Banks AND the dumb consumers need to be held responsible for their own decisions, not the tax paying public.
Bankruptcy and forclosures for the irresponsible is the answer. Throwing government money at it only makes us responsible types more pissed at the government for wasting our tax monies.
.. I'll try to keep my rants shorter.. sry.
