my mom was telling me that their (my parents) investments were down 40%.

Jesus Christ. Its mostly/nearly entirely balanced portfolios of mutual funds and stuff like that too. She definitely knows her stuff about the market, and knows that the market will eventually bring itself back up, but still crazy. She refers to the market as being on sale

This whole government bailout/obama ACORN shit really pisses her off too, and me as well. Why the fuck do idiots who do stupid things for stupid reasons (like holding hands) get to be bailed out of their mistakes, when people like my family have to take the burden of paying for college education of two kids, plus pay for the idiots through their tax payer money? She also thinks that what these banks have done should be considered criminal, since they were the ones who gave out the variable subprime loans to people who in no way could qualify for them...oh wait, they're black, here comes ACORN to force the bank to give them the loan. Fuck that.

That's what I'm sayin

10/10/2008 1:22:39 AM

same reason that people who can't keep their legs closed, can't keep a job, and can't finish high school get bailed out by our tax dollars every day.


because we allow it to happen.

this nation is tragic and unfair

10/10/2008 1:30:35 AM

i won't disagree with that assertion

10/10/2008 1:35:08 AM

So, what we're REALLY supposed to do is follow the actions of that 90 year old lady who tried to commit suicide, and then get bailed out of our bad decisions? How many bullets do I need to eat before I get a free ride to State?

[90 year old lady takes out 30 year, 45k mortgage on her home, plus 11k in cash. Economy goes haywire and she can't make payments, tries to shoot herself in the head and fails. Story gets to the media and the bank waives the debt]

10/10/2008 1:37:01 AM

she's 90 years old dude.

10/10/2008 1:37:50 AM

I totally set myself up to be flamed, but I've forgotten how relentless anonymous internet people can be.

10/10/2008 1:39:44 AM

oh no that 90 year old got it good

maybe you should try to be like her

10/10/2008 1:40:13 AM

Some 57 yr old committed suicide when the cops came to evict her family. Thing is the husband had set up some sort of deferment plan so the eviction was null and void. Yeah there's gonna be some shit trickling down that pipe.

10/10/2008 1:42:41 AM

damn i wonder what the payment is on a 30yr mortgage for 45k

cant be more than a few hundo a month

Other people allow it to happen. I don't vote for people who advocate this crap.

10/10/2008 1:54:43 AM

10/10/2008 3:30:39 AM

10/10/2008 3:46:42 AM

but that's lame

10/10/2008 3:49:19 AM

10/10/2008 8:22:29 AM

I'm wondering how I'm going to gracefully quit this job today. I'm also thinking that the repercussions of said act will get me a shortened work day

10/10/2008 8:23:30 AM

why the hell did you even come in today? haha.. I'd be packing my shit up and going home for a nap on a rainy day

[Edited on October 10, 2008 at 8:24 AM. Reason : ^^not really, depending on the dosage]

10/10/2008 8:24:06 AM

b/c I'm quitting today (they don't know it yet) and start a new job monday.

10/10/2008 8:24:55 AM

10/10/2008 9:28:14 AM

I've got a (female) friend whose laptop is quickly crapping out. It's kind of sad.
