Unemployment Reality Rate

This video explains in 3 minutes what I've been trying to say for over a year.

The unemployment situation is much worse than what the government is reporting.

QUESTION: How long do you think the government's tricks work before people start to REVOLT?

Long Term Unemployment Worsens

The official unemployment rate decreases to 10% in November. So is the economy recovering?

Well, no, it isn't and here's why. First, the unemployment numbers are misleading, the government reported that we only lost 11,000 jobs in November, but this is because of the increase in seasonal and temporary jobs. The media also fails to mention that given the country's population growth, we would need to add 100,000 jobs per month just to break even.

Second, short term unemployment is decreasing, because long term unemployment is increasing. The number of Americans unemployed for at least 27 weeks reached 5.9 million in November. That's an all-time high. So what's happening.

So many people have been out of work for so long that they are giving up and now the government is spinning this as good news.

Jesse Ventura's Heated Radio Confrontation

Jesse Ventura's Heated Radio Confrontation


Jesse Ventura's radio interview on Opie & Anthony almost turned into a fight when weasel radio personality Norton displayed one of the most pathetic hit jobs I've ever seen. He spoke over Ventura, put words in his mouth and insulted the former Governor to the point that Ventura respectfully walked away. Ventura tried to talk about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Norton's barrage of attacked made it impossible.

You gotta respect how the ex-pro wrestler handled this punk.

Question: How would you have handled this situation?

Who will Survive the Economic Downturn?

Pontiac, Rest in Peace!
After 82 years, one of GM's signature brands will disappear. What other brands will we see disappear during this economic downturn?

Here's my list of companies that I think will be dead by the end of the downturn.

Sirius Radio
AT&T
Blockbuster
Starbucks
Quiznos
Toys 'R' Us
FYI

This list should be a lot longer. What do you think?

My Early Years in Flint, Michigan

Now, I know that when most of you think of Flint, the last thing that comes to mind are universities and museums, but there's a lot more to Flint than murder and robbery. So I decided to show the nicer side of Flint, Michigan.
