This is the start of a Dark age not a depression. The system will never reboot because of resource complexity. After the Oil companies bankrupt the lights will go out forever. Most of the human race alive now will die-off horribly.

Ah hell whats he trying to do start masses of people stockpiling food? ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')ut instead of telling us straight, it calls the crisis the “credit crunch” to make it sound like a breakfast cereal...

Is that really a doomer rant? Clarkson lays on the sarcasm so thick you don't know what the hell he really thinks. Isn't his job to review cars? There is hardly a review here at all. He's not doing his job for sure. All I know is he's a global warming denier and a internal combustion lover so it's unlikely that he has or will ever accept the idea that "happy motoring" is dead man walking.

I think he is more interested in making the Labour look bad and ineffective than selling the end of the world or introducing it into people's minds.

The end of the world narrative just fits his rhetorical purposes at this time.

That was a good one. I like this guy!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') have spoken to a couple of pretty senior bankers in the past couple of weeks and their story is rather different. They don’t refer to the looming problems as being like 1992 or even 1929. They talk about a total financial meltdown. They talk about the End of Days.

Reverse,

I think I'm just shocked to read a MSM article that sounds like it was penned by ReverseEngineer.

Seriously, your posts are always fun to read, and informative. Regardless, I haven't changed my personal doom meter -- signs of shortages in stores.

I'll continue to monitor the situation as it develops. One thing to watch for sure are these monthly unemployment numbers. Before the Nov number came out, the CNBC crowd was pegging 350k as worst case. So the actual figure, 530k (and will be more when revised), was indicative of the situation being worse than conventional wisdom thinks.
