And that's being worked out now. The Wall Street Casino is repudiated.
But the sheriffs WILL show up when many of us lose our jobs and cannot pay our mortgages, believe me.
I expect to see Hoovervilles springing up soon enough.
Although the system is broken from the top, it is those of us on the bottom who will lose, FIRST.
Read about how broken capitalism worked during the last great depression, folks.
The mechanics of the system which is broken continue to function as though nothing is wrong.
And the people who are already just bearly making it are thought bad people who need to be punished for no longer having any money.
2,000,000 WERE facing losing their homes, and many of us sitting in our homes with reasonable mortgages thought that was okay.
Wait until it's 20,000,000 homes forclosed on, and then get back to me, okay?
Many of us who have sane mortgages will suddenly discover that our jobs are no longer there, despite our fabulous skills that we thought made us bulletproof.
You can write programs? So fucking what? Nobody can afford to buy software.
It will be wakeup call for many of you, believe me.
This will prove to many of you smug libertarians what I have been saying all along:
When your neighbors are getting poorer, SO ARE YOU!
I will consider it a tremdous accomplisment if this board is still alive a year from today, folks.
Sure some people will continue to be able to pay their internet bills, but there needs to be a huge population paying their bills to keep it going and one hell of a lot of people are going to have to make some serious choices about what to keep and what to give up and the net is one of those thing a LOT of us are going to shut down if this problem does not resolve itself SOON.
