    You know, Andrew Carnegie was a philanthropist so that his kids wouldn't get it. Not that he hated them, just that he thought they had already had every advantage and it was time for them to make their own. Billion dollar trusts are too much to leave behind. (Though Carnegie wasn't entirely successful in the getting rid of family money biz either). #warrenbuffett

    @Wannabeer: he also made his son wear his older sister's hand me down clothes.

    No shit. Just one piece of trivia I learned about old Carnegie when I went to Carnegie Mellon. #warrenbuffett

    If people still think he's just rich old burger, coke, and candy man, Manny Maroun has a bridge in Detroit he will sell you.

    (Eh, incidentally, anyone ever connect "Matty" Maroun to Michael Maroun, Carlos Marcello's attorney? Directly, verifiably, to Jimmy Hoffa?) #warrenbuffett

    yes, using the word that describes the actual thing is silly, let's get a cute term so that we can *feel like we know what is going on, without actually learning or knowing any more than we did before!

    does this metaphor help: the tumor is no longer growing.

    and i'm not saying i agree with the fed, i'd have to say that i don't really know. i work for myself, and i am seeing a little uptick in business after a dismal and terrifying summer.

    I invested in an index with my tax return and made some insanely crazy returns this year. So yeah. If you're employed and had a little coin to spare you might have made out like a bandit this year.

    Well, John, I'm sure you know this, but the statistical end of a recession - economic growth, the bottoming of inventory statistics - usually precedes the social end of a recession. Employment, in particular, is expected to follow.

    If you're jobless, a sense that there might be ANY light at the end of the tunnel seems helpful, no? Unless, of course, you're writing this from the radical perspective of a man who hopes that ongoing discontent with the economy will foment some sort of cultural reconstruction or reformation. To which I say, haha, how dare the economy not solve all of our problems!

    @Unsolicited Advice: don't be ridiculous! you should measure the economy by how you feel today, just like the dow. using the established means to determine that things have probably stopped getting worse is the loser's way out of unending hysteria.

    where is your commitment to drama, bullshit, and senseless handwringing? afterall, how can we fix a problem, if we know what it is? we should keep trying to end this endless recession, and stop working on economic recovery.

    "And we may be stuck with it for years!"


    To quote Krugman's re-quote..."--what you mean WE, white man?" I'm going to dedicate myself to stealing copper tubing from abandoned houses and make myself a mint.
