The Hidden Depression

[EE_]

Most of us here know we are in a depression and are at the beginning of a great depression. But most won't know it until it is too late.
The banking elite controlled media has done a great job of hiding the devastating effects of this depression. They have been hiding the coming oil storm, homeless encampments, and the desperate that are losing their homes. The next thing they will hide is the millions that have lost their only lifeline in this depression, unemployment insurance.
Amazing how they speak of recovery and at times they will say we are in a recession with the threat of a "double dip" recession. I just love their happy feel good terminology like a "double dip" ice cream cone.
What is a double dip recession in a recession?
Anyway, I believe the great depression is in progress and we must be ready to protect our own.

I never heard the term Buy Yourself a Learning Curve before. Interesting.

I'm with you EE_ we are already in the greatest depression. Some people thrived from the last one though. So to only figure out the modern thriving point . . . .

Seems as if we have a peculiar interest remembering parts of America’s great depression, and it was all so recent. Not even 100 years ago. I get choked up about the really old days, when man was almost completely reliant on other animals, thousands of years ago, but apparently not before the wheel or cigarettes.

The great depression seems even more depressing with almost all the pictures in B&W!

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

A montage of the current depression would show fat people standing in line with their bridge cards buying food high in saturated fat and sodium.

Maybe a few tent cities.

Some foreclosure signs dotting the suburbs.


How times change....

Thanks Riot Act----the photographer in me loves the B&W photos.

Everyone I know that lived through the depression says that they didn't feel poor. They just did without.

Yes, Silver Rocket, times have changed. I like to watch what people are "doing without" as monies tighten up. So far, I haven't seen much. I'm thinking it's going to hit them in the face and they're going to be surprised when it does.

it's wierd. when i go to San Diego, North County Coastal, Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Penasquitos, it's like they're in a different world.

the wealthy people in Rancho Santa Fe have to drive through Encinitas or Del Mar to get to Highway 5.

so when i go down there to visit family & friends, their towns are relatively un-touched.

but i know in many other parts of San Diego, no such luck. El Centro has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state.

hence we see the wisdom of buying coastal real estate.

as long as it's not near any ocean where BP is drilling. >:(
