Re: It's offical.US in Recession

It's official in economic terms when you have two quaters in a row negative growth dude.

As for this shit taking long: the Germans predict a relaunch in the 2nd half of 2009. Dunno, we'll just have to sit it out.

All my friends who work as analysts in the City say that we can expect the economy to be down for at least 18 months but realistic figures are 2-3 years. So hold on to your shit...

Re: It's offical.US in Recession

you know when making a business plan you really don't have a fucking clue what is going to happen 3 years down the road. Which leads me to believe that nobody has a fucking clue what is going to happen next.

mariner why are you always up in my ass on every word I write??

Re: It's offical.US in Recession

Well it usually starts with the premise that you're wrong. And I'll concede that you are wrong just about all of the time.

bingo. I swear it isn't planned, but I happen to share this concern in a big way.

Your anger is understandable. Of course, your suggestion will only make things much, much worse. But it's understandable. And not out of the question to some extent.
