"The art of convincing people to spend money they don't have on something they don't need."

Joke of the Month

There were four buddies named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. 

They had an important job to do and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. 

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. 

Everybody got angry about that, because it was Somebody's job. 

Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. 

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done..

Financial Analysts

Their title speaks for itself.
If they were any good at predicting, they would be called fortune tellers. Until then they are just analysts: people who analyze things that already happened.
So, why is it that this same bunch ventures into telling us what is going to happen next and where are we suppose to invest our life savings? 
More so, accepting the above statement as true, why do we trust them?

U.S. Economy

Our economy is like an athlete on steroids: in order to continue achieving results we chose to get doped, consequently making the whole thing so artificial that we do not even know what is right from what is wrong.

Economy is an exact science, where every action is known to produce exact reaction, and does not allow for any artificial or foreign elements to enhance it's performance.

The real question at this point in time is how do we take ourselves off of performance enhancing stimulants. And the answer can be found in real life, observing any athlete that is making an attempt to clean himself, and the result is: he will neither be a successful athlete anymore nor will he cleanse his body to the point of being able to get back to normal life. He is ruined.

So, we have two choices: keep taking steroids and in order to sustain the profit race keep blowing the bubble (that will eventually explode), or go cold turkey and quit doping ourselves, which will take us a couple of decades back and will make the bubble look shriveled and parched. The latter one can not be done peacefully. The first one will result in loss of peace.

I'm sure every athlete that was ever taking steroids is asking himself that same stupid question: "Why in the hell did I do that?" All too late.
