Damn recession killing everything!! including saltwater tanks!

[CAPTAIN STABBIN]

I think if a natural disaster occured here we could not handle it! People are to busy with the self interest and who's got the better car etc(no one cares about nothin but self)!
We used to be a nation who only trusted in God (according to the dollar bill) But we dont even have that anymore!
No wonder nothing is going right for this country!

I still have hope for us but i guess im one of the "few fools left"!

I read an article that made soo much sense to me. They didnt specifically correlate this with our country's crappy economy, but back in the 80's when jock culture ran rampant ie movies like animal house, it really discredited being schooling, being smart, science etc..from that point on American science has been lagging versus our competitors and it was no longer cool to be into science. Domestic development and innovation obviously play a part in our economy however we are behind other countries.

My take is that while the government does screw up the economy to some extent, the culture we develop and allow also plays a part in it. This combined with capitalism equal a society tht doesnt develop leaders and innovators like it should.

Instead today's youth has rap artist and plastic materialistic girls to look up to....quite sad actually

i dont think the government is at fault i think its us the people who give bad defaulted loans bad credit lending etc.

Someone is buying otherwise the store would be under already.
If someone is buying, it must taste that good, or they just have really good marketing. Another great example of capitalism at its finest.

If I can find idiots, I mean customers, to buy a drink for $20, then I'd definitely go into that business. I'd be a fool to charge less if they're willing to pay more.

 

[CAPTAIN STABBIN]

your right

You are absolutely right Ming! We are all idiots for allowing the prices of every single thing to go up without question (when there is no lack of!)!!. Back in the 60's they used to have public outcries and protest now we just say oh well just let it happen! I guess its just a common feeling amongst Americans to not care until it personally affects you!:iamwithstAnd it will sooner than you think!
Just a thought!:funnypost

 

[CAPTAIN STABBIN]

Just keeps getting worse! Heard new Gov treasury gut say it aint so bad???

 

[Reefsaint]

Now we got Obama?? What do you think he could do for the economy if he got elected???

Gas by the barrel hit an all time record friday, which means we feel it at the pump yet again!!! I just saw diesel fuel down the street at $5.09 :Yikes: That god i don't have a TDI car :splitspin I am officially starting to get worried tho....

 

[Killerdrgn]

I wish i had a TDI car, if i did i would be able to get the old used oil from my local chinese restaurant for like $25 a barrel. That would be 50 cents a gallon for fuel.

Tell me about it. I own a TDI, it cost me 67.00 to fill up my car. That was at $4.79 in Jersey. I remember when I bought the car it cost me $25.00 to fill up. I don't know how this truck drivers are surviving

If only it were that easy. By the time you add the conversion kit, collect the oil, filter the oil, store the oil; it comes out to alot more than 50 cents a gallon. You have any idea how bad a 55 gallon drum of used cooking oil stinks?

I'm sure some places would even give it to you for free because you're saving them money by taking it away.

 

[SIReefer]

Listening to 1010WINS, stated that oil will be $6.00 gal by July 4th & $8.00 by Labor Day.
