Everyone better leave their jobs immediately and get to the grocery stores! There won't be
any food left if you wait until after 5pm.

The end of the world is coming and it will happen tonight if Wall Street doesn't get their trillion dollars RIGHT NOW!

Do NOT stop and think about it. There is no time for reasoned deliberation!

8. Liquidate your 401K first, so you can buy canned food to take with you as you jump out the window

15. In 1955, vending machines sold them for 17 cents a pack
Three cents change (from putting 2 dimes/4 nickels in the machine) would be tucked inside the cigarette packs. This is where the first of the famous and now very valuable 1955 double die cents were found.

One of the very few times when someone could actually have benefited from a smoking addiction.

12. You "think" so...

Maybe it is sort of a joke!

Welcome to DU and please do think for yourself.

Use your reasoning ability.

Think critically!

No more 6 word posts for awhile.

Please.

16. Well TooBigaTent - Which Scare Tactic Republican Lobbying Firm Do You Work For
Your scare tactics don't work on me anymore.

I'm calling out your BS and all of the rest of the DU scare mongers on this fiasco.

Go take a flying leap!
