Not a clue. Not one fucking clue. You don't have one. I don't have one. They don't have one.

Nobody knows what to do.

1. I'm thinking about buying an engine lathe

I've always wanted a lathe.

If I had a lathe, I'd run it in the morning.
I'd run it in the evening, all over this land!
I'd turn out freedom,
I'd bore out justice,
I'd thread-cut love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land!

4. LOL! nt

16. Planning a career as a spin doctor, I take it.

[yorgatron]

30. having a lathe can be really handy.

i have an Atlas 10" X 36"



(not my lathe,but similar.)

[slackmaster]

33. I have had a vertical milling machine for many years

I don't use it very often but when I do I am always glad to have it.

Of course there are many things it can't do, some of which happen to be things a lathe is perfect for.

I think everyone should have a trade or some other skill that is unrelated to what they do for a living, in case things get really bad. My SHTF/TEOTWAWKI trade is machine work.

2. I'm hanging out my shingle:

Freelance economist and reader of goat entrails. I'll be printing my own money soon.

[DemoTex]

8. That reminds me. I saw a hilarious sign on back of a livestock trailer the other day.

KEEP BACK! SHOW GOATS.

:rofl:

[ulysses]

11. "kid on board"?

:D

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Pulled by a Dodge Ram?

I just couldn't help butting in here. Mind if I stay for supper? I'll eat anything.

[ulysses]

20. I hope you're feeling suitably sheepish.

That was baaaad.

[Jackpine Radical]

26. Got your goat, huh?

[DemoTex]

34. Good one!

:hi:

21. You'll make a killing selling CDO's.

Don't spend your bailout money in one place.

3. Mitt Knows What To Do!

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html

I received that in email.

He has some good points, but it's interesting to note the attitude towards labor.

[Thickasabrick]

9. Mittens is already campaigning for 2012. Read the comments -

they are a hoot. Especially the one making fun of his dad's company that made the Gremlins.

[NashVegas]

19. Gremlins Were Kind of Cool

Compared to Pacers.

I own a '97 Jeep, and love it.

[Thickasabrick]

29. Yea, but didn't that company fold? Should he really be using

American Motors as an example? I've had several people say they loved Gremlins.....I don't remember much about them.

[knowbody0]

5. give the 700 billion to the consumers

trickle up

[Lumpsum]

10. I still think the fed should buy every American a Ford/GM hybrid vehicle.

Fix the auto industry AND the environment in one fell swoop.

[Thickasabrick]

12. I seriously thought about that the other day - I think it would get more

results than anything Paulson comes up with.

[Lumpsum]

6. DOOM. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

14. ...... huh?

[HereSince1628]

7. Nah, we know and are doing it. We are all hunkering under rocks or searching for suitable rocks

to shelter under. We plan to spend as little as possible.

All that depresses consumption, dampens production, increases unemployment and generally pushes the bottom deeper.

But and this is a very important BUT, in a depression economy where asset value is crashing, it is CASH you want. Cash is going to accrue in value, cash is what we want and need. In a year a dollar is going to buy more than a quarter cup of Starbucks coffee.

[Zorra]

13. I know exactly what to do. Just give me $700 billion and I'll fix everything. n/t

[MichiganVote]

15. I know what to do. The gov't needs to raise capital and there's only one group that has it

and it ain't anyone on this board. Its called the wealthy, and the oil companies. AND its time to end the wars. Screw the Middle East. They're all going to blow themselves to Kingdom Come anyway.
