Associated Press. World class hos, with their lips firmly planted on Obama's butt.
I swear these guys studied at Pravda U.
The “recovery” dropped yesterday. Yep, yep we are heading right up the ladder here.
Why will that affect employers decision to hire or not?
So they’re calling a depression a recovery nowdays. That’s encouraging.
THERE IS NO G-D D@MN RECOVERY!!!!
We're still bleeding to death, it's just that after you've lost so much blood, there's not much left to pump out. God what a bunch of morons.
“I never thought the US MSM would sink this low.”
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
What recovery are they talking about? We have negative GDP for 3 quarters in a row, and we have 17% unemployment. I don’t get it.
>>> Why will that affect employers decision to hire or not?
Kidding... right?
Obama and the communist dems are trying to open the floodgates of free health care at employer expense... to illegal aliens, to pre-existing conditions, to the abortion industry both at home and abroad, and all without addressing the real cost driver which is tort reform. Trial lawyers are going to have a hay day with a completely new and empowered customer base with which to dig every penny out of what little is left in our health care provider’s pockets.
I’ll guarantee you this... the first losses will be in the job market for sure... but the much bigger losses will be in the health care industry itself. There is very good reason why so many pages of HR3200 were devoted to student loans for practitioners wishing to enter the field... and their subsequent obligations to a government run health care system.
Rationing wont be a matter of government design or desire...
It will be a matter of necessity.
*rolls eyes*
There’s FReepers from all over the world on these boards.
If you know of a business experiencing meaningful recovery, could you please post the info here?
Having been in business, there are contacts I speak with regularly. No one I’ve talked with is experiencing recovery. Most are hunkered down wondering if there will be enough sales to make the next payroll. And if the sales aren’t there, wondering who they should let go.
Recovery my ass. My most optimistic friend thinks we’ll be well into 2010 before there are any hints of a recovery. Most think it will be 2012 or after.
There is no recovery.
I’m not exactly clear as to how it will be at employers expense.
I spoke with a friend of mine who says his company has been hiring. Cincinnati Bell related company, computer skills.
It's been awhile since I have been out and about at 6:00 on a Friday night. Tried to go out to dinner and all the more upscale places around the Mall were packed. We ended up at Pizza Hut. Unemployment in KY...11%.
I tried to find a number just for my area but haven't been able to. A friend of mine owns a restaurant in a less populated spot and I know his business is hurting.
And to think someone got paid to write that headline.
Businessmen/women hate uncertainty. All we get from Obama is uncertainty and the threat of more marxism. Business owners lay more people off under that type of environment. Now it is just a question of survival.
No “recovery” here. Just trying to survive.
We’re hiring too. But it has absolutely nothing to do with current growth. It has everything to do with trying to survive.
Retailers are holding on for Christmas but I would guess this will be the worst Christmas since the 1930s.
I wandered into a Sears the other night after eating next door at a Panera. It was so quiet you could hear the escalator 50 feet away. No Muzak, no customers, almost no employees. It was spooky and surreal. Racks and racks of marked down clothing no one wants.
I pass a KMart at night a few times a week and the parking lot is empty.
Go out at night on any night other than Fri or sat. Most places are ghost towns. Some people go out Fri and fewer on Sat. Some are fools using charge cards who have no mony expecting a bailout. Others splurging one night a week.
It is survival.
