It is amazing how much bad news is out there. It's like a Peak Oil
forum list. We don't even have to come to this site for our daily dose of doom. I think the rest of the world is getting it now.

I still see CNBC has those economists on that say by the second quarter we should be coming out of the recession. I don't know where they got their degree but they sure aren't seeing the economy that I am. If we do come out of this at all, we are talking years and not months.

Marx observed that capitalism moved in cycles of boom and bust, as the rise of each cycle was accompanied by a variety of innovations, in order to transcend the bust of the previous cycle, in a quest for growth.

More ominously however, he concluded that there would come a time when the system's inner contradictions of infinite growth versus finite capacity will no longer reconcile giving rise to a spontaneous will for change.

Secret donor gives $1 million to Burnsville fire victims

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')ozens of families left homeless after a fire at a Burnsville apartment complex have an early Christmas present waiting for them — a $1 million donation.

An anonymous donor contributed the money Tuesday to a community fund set up by the Goodman Group, the Chaska-based firm that owns and manages the Burncliff Apartments.

The contribution averages more than $15,000 for each of the 64 households left homeless by Monday's blaze, which displaced nearly 200 people.

Russian capitalism is where American capitalism was in the 1890's. They need to read Jefferson and come up with a Russian dream. Otherwise, they are going to become a Chineses colony.

I'm not entirely convinced that these are the final days of capitalism although I suspect that this is the beginning of the end for capitalism's propaganda advantage over marxism seeing as this is what I would term the point of capitalism's peaking.
