What signs have we of implosion of the economy today? Crashin' yet?
Didn't look at the markets, haven't bought groceries or gas this week, but last week I bout groceries and about fell out of the store when the dude said $168.00. For what? Shit I got home and started putting it away and went fuuuuuuuuuck me. My water bill doubled this month. I called them to recheck the damn meter, guess they'll charge me for dat too. hmmmmmf.

2. Go through shopping centers and see the empty stores. Go
to unemployment offices and see all the people looking for jobs. Look at the crap people buy from Walmart that's 95% made in China. Look at the states trying to get money to pay for basic services. Look at the bankrutcies and see what the cause of them are.

15. hey i just saw a thing on him today on A & E, one of those Bill Kurtis
shows, what an asshat!! My question about him if you would induldge me here, he claims in one breath that he wants the prisoners at the jail to really hate it so they won't want to ever come back and then in the next breath he says they need to be punished. Ok, question, is there any track anyhere about the recidivists rates of his inmates?

18. Reinventing globalization from Truthout.org

This sign is that the globalization/WalMartization of the economy is unsustainable.
