Haves and have-nots baby...

And the Haves wil be fewer and fewer...until the riots and the revolutions and the wars.

Then the "stuff" and "purchasing power" will be divied up amongst the masses but there will be less and less of it for everyone...

So a strong man will come in to "save the day"...and banish, imprison or kill segments of the population that are undesireable, take as much of the "stuff" for him and his cronies...

Until a revolution overthrows the big man and redistributes the "stuff to the masses. But here will be less and less of it for everyone...

and on and on-

Surprisingly, some of our lower income employees and customer call themselves have-nots although some of them have modest homes, nice vehicles, boats, waverunners, quads, motorcycles, snowmobiles, hunting & fishing gear, big screen televisions, digital cable, notebooks, high speed internet, cell phones etc.


Many of my tenants think of themselves as have-nots simply because they're not homeowners.

Some see so much wealth surrounding them that they feel poor, although they're living quite well.

Its sort of funny in a way, VW building new plant in America hiring 2000 people while GM is closing down more plants and laying off 1000's of employees.

VW does have some of the best MPG out there right now, if only GM would have focus on MPG instead of the hummer ??

What happens to the 63,000 that don't get the jobs?

[Pretorian]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cog', 'W')hat happens to the 63,000 that don't get the jobs?

[Sixstrings]

65,000 applicants sounds like a lot, but consider that equates to 32.5 applicants per individual job. That kind of number of is actually pretty average, especially these days. It's not uncommon at all for businesses to get 30 or so resumes per job opening.

[mattduke]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he number you won't hear mentioned anywhere in the Mainstream Media: 327,729. That is how many people shifted to Emergency Unemployment Compensation programs in the last week alone, hitting an all time record high of 4.2 million! So as everyone is focused on the benign picture of initial claims in the last week which was "only" 474,000, the number of people rolling off continuing benefits has exploded and is now a stunning 592,579 only in the last two week.

Shadow stats claims the real unemployment is at 20% nearing great depression levels. I believe that is more accurate than the touted regime number of 10%.

Our local Walmart just layed off all of their Christmas help.

One of the CNBC anchors was arguing with Rick Santelli, telling him there's "no such thing as Emergency Unemployment Compensation."

I have to disagree. You have repeated something that you've read so many times that you just take it to be true. The US is still the world manufacutring power. The catch, which most people miss, is that as labor got more and more expensive and machines got better and cheaper, we replaces people with machines.

What we lost was manufacturing jobs, we still do a lot of manufacturing. What we import from China is the cheap crap and manufacutred items that are labor intensive, we don't import everything.

Now, the problem is we are loaded down with debt at every level and we are facing a coming energy shortage. The debt will stop us from having a big rebound and, if we do start to have a big rebound engery prices will rise to stop it. We are screwed both ways unless we can develop and implement a method to power transportation which replaces petroleum.

China may have more factories then the US, but they pump out junk/garbage/crap... I try to go out of my way to find things built anywhere but that toxic wasteland.
