On my side of the world, recovery from an unemployment rate that nearly doubled in one year was extremely slow. I got the impression that the best place to be would actually be where it all started.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-928891985868092162018-09-17T10:24:31.769-04:002018-09-17T10:24:31.769-04:00The Dave Collum twitter feed, which I've been ...The Dave Collum twitter feed, which I've been addicted to lately, is very apocalyptic. There is even more debt today than back then and interest rates are already low so there is not much the central bank can do to stimulate the economy. The shale industry has been fueled by debt, but can't really generate profits; it will mean lots of chemists back on the job market to compete against.

Dave Collum's twitter is making me want to not come back for a while...<br /><br />Of course, I realize a financial crisis bigger than 2008 will affect me in any country, but after I've been gone for ten years and am very mobile, I'd rather take my chances outside. Plus the health care is better. uncle samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-82258376180224930852018-09-17T09:15:39.046-04:002018-09-17T09:15:39.046-04:00I'm sure they received some negative punishmen...I'm sure they received some negative punishments, sort of like <a href="https://sports.theonion.com/mlb-fines-russ-springer-negative-50-000-for-throwing-a-1819568475" rel="nofollow">this</a>.Hapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-42504118084855645482018-09-16T15:28:08.134-04:002018-09-16T15:28:08.134-04:00McNaughton and Harran received some punishment for...McNaughton and Harran received some punishment for their transgressions.
