Halloween recession thoughts

October 30, 2009 – 2:37 pm

When a book called “the four hour work week” became a best seller to the American public, it was clear that society had peaked.   How classic is that….a dumbass that sells sugar pills to idiots—- sells the literary version of a bottle of sugar pills to greedy idiots so that they can learn how he did it.  That’s gold.

So, it plays out.  “Get rich quick and spend the future money now” America gets kicked in the nuts.  Solution?  A 1,990 page attempt to bring the exact same mentality to health care.  Note to the rest of the world– if you think you’re almost broke now giving “free’ healthcare to your dependents citizens, just wait until the profit motive is taken out of US private company R&D and technology initiatives.

Interesting that we paid $24,500 to convince each person that wouldn’t have bought a car but did because of  cash for clunkers to trade in their current shitty car for tomorrow’s shitty car.

Even more interesting is that the great nanny is going to send out $250 to every senior because…..get this…..their cost of living went down this year.  Entitled to growth in entitlements.  Awesome derivative.

Hippies are getting their opportunity to drive the final stake through the heart of American exceptionalism, and they’re not letting the pitch go by this time.

Fear not, for there is nothing better for the rebirth of logic  than a year of hippies being in charge, as the town of Woodstock can no doubt attest.

Take comfort, for there is NO DOUBT that the tide is shifting and fast.  All it took was the biggest morons of them all (MSNBC, CNN and TIME) to proclaim the GOP “dead” to mark the bottom.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get into character for tonight’s Halloween party.

The dude abides.

    I think you have hit the nail on the head. I remember hearing the following quote about 10 years ago and it has stuck with me since. Sadly, I think the question is where are we exactly in the sequence.

    How does the House bill take "the profit motive...out of US private company R&D and technology initiatives"?

    Tim Ferriss is a number of things, but I don't think a dumbass is one of them. It does appear though, according to some legwork done on this by one of his readers, that he wasn't selling anywhere near as many of those sugar pills as he claimed. I posted about that here, if you want to check it out: How much was Tim Ferriss really making from his supplement business?
  • Cool thanks

    Saw a reaaallly good company today. Hope they will re-locate here before Lindzon finds them and moves them to Ari-Tonto or something.

    Will discuss at next Square5 meeting.

    Regarding the above blogpost, I have a new theory. President Hope&Change is a GOP plant.

    Makes some sense, no? Like a double shot Jimmy Carter innoculation, this time lasting sixty instead of thirty years?
  • We'll find out more tonight. If the hippie in Jersey goes down, I think
    you're onto something.

    Would love to see him blow his $25 million for naught.

    Can you believe that commie used to co-Chair Goldman?

  • Indeed
  • Huge difference between hippies and the damnable 'flower power' asshats who took control of the country.

    It's the damned flower children who grew up to take over the country. Even 'back in the day', it was easy to see the difference between the two groups. Flower power dickwads were just in it for the hedonistic pleasures. There was never any substance to those people.
  • Agree 100%.  Hippies tend to have substance.

    But....I'm still going to use "hippie" on twitter just for the yuks.  More fun and effective than "liberal" lol
  • hehheh, and let's keep calling great malware engineers 'hackers'.

    Good stuff, Andy!
