To all who read this blog, please forward this to everybody you know. With any information you are getting about the economy from other blogs and media please do the same. Pass it on.
Do you know that most Americans do not watch the news or even read the newspaper?
Huh, my people we are in for the worst of the worst financial meltdown that will destroy this country and many others for a very long time. If you are thirty years old today, unless you live to be eighty years or maybe one hundred years old, you will not see the end of what George Bush has done to this world.
Being fair, there is enough blame to pass around. Do you think the entire Congress should be given their walking papers? So many have already lost everything and when these loose assholes are talking they try to make a joke about it.
Does Obama look happy to you? This man has inherited the worst of the worst ever.
I cannot stress enough how we all should stop spending on unnecessary items. I do understand that we have to spend some for the economy to pick up. But please try and look at it this way. Why spend the little bit you got not knowing how long you will have a job or whether your bank will go bankrupt? Why go out of your way to buy things even from Walmart if you don't need it? It sounds foolish, but when you lose your job it would be funny. Do you think that thousands will be pushing shopping carts next year? Just you wait and see.
I was out in a restaurant for dinner last night. The waiter asked if we wanted pepper sauce. We said yes. He left and never came back. Then the person with me accidentally spilled water on the table while this same waiter was there. He was very polite and said let me get you a towel. Both times he went off to the other end of the restaurant and got engaged in small talk with the other waiters. After half an hour, I walked over and said can we have our bill? He than said "oh I am sorry, towel coming up." When it was time to pay, I added a nickel to the bill as his tip. Maybe he will get the message.
Why are we so spoiled? In a bar, buy a $2.00 drink and the bartender expects a $2.00 tip or more. And what is so funny, there are thousands of fools out there who think it is cool to do that. Idiots, that's what they are, born stupid before stupid has them.
Do you get money out of ATM's not from your own bank and have to pay $3.00 and then your bank charges you another $2.50 service charge? If you do, you too are a fool. Plain stupid, my people.
Once I was with a friend who saw someone with a $1,000 cell phone. The very next day he had one. I asked him what happened to the other one. He said he give it away. This one can do all kinds of stuff you know. I said like what. He said check email, Internet, music, pictures, etc., etc. I said "oh yes, what about the other one you had?" He responded just about the same, but I like this one better. This guy is unemployed and still thinks that things will turn around soon. I can't help than to wonder what soon means to Alfred. Yes, you, Alfred, my friend. Yes you.
My people, only you know what's in your wallet. Only you know that when your are hanging out with a so called buddy, you are six times more broke than your wallet, so why keep spending money like you have diarrhea and you just don't have any control of it?
Save, save, save.
If you don't need a cell phone, use your land line, asshole. If you must be a drunk, destroy your liver at home. If you must dress up like a Christmas tree with an empty wallet, you know there are many thrift shops around. If you must live in a nice place and can't afford it, get a roommate, one with a JOB of course. Only drive if necessary.
