Much better, more descriptive title than the one EE_ chose this morning for his thread: 99ers (http://gold-silver.us/forum/general-discussion/99ers/?topicseen)

in it I wrote,




thanks. for those curious, or who don't like clicking blind links, this is a CBS 60 Minutes segment on long term unemployed (>= 99 weeks benefits), goes to San Jose CA & follows the lives of several laid off middle aged pro's who still can't find work, & their lifestyle hardship, worries etc. No mention of the "NWO-engineered" aspect of this depression; it's all just portrayed as accidental, unforeseen... with these people shocked at their circumstance- soup kitchens, raiding recycle bins, etc. One guy blew through his retirement already, spent his 401K on buying an air duct cleaning franchise, works it with his son but they're not making $ as not enough biz. Next they're going to sell their house, no mention of whether they're under water or stand to yield any equity from a sale (imagine if there was equity they'd have grabbed it already via another loan), though with housing about to take a new downward plunge IMHO, I doubt they have any equity, and it would be most cost efficient for them to just walk away, after squatting of course until Johnny Law finally shows up, which could be a long time.

Sad stuff to watch, knowing these people's NWO-neo-serfdom has been engineered to be permanent, "the abyss" as one woman put it...

no prob, that's coz of the OP's useless choice of subject title, and just dropping a "blind link" (sans any description) was further unhelpful.

It was a very telling 60 Minutes segment, I was glad I watched. Hope this thread gets traction.

Forget about the poor slobs that got taken for a minute...let's take a glimpse at how the people that took them and us are living!

I think there should be an event like this put on for the unemployed and financially ruined.
Maybe pass out free coffee?
