more pics

i like how that photo is elevated so high that you can see the curvature of the earth

these pictures make me think i am fucking lucky

#30 looks like a city made out of newspaper vendors.

wow, incredible photos. i told so many people many years ago this was going to happen.

does anyone here have an informed idea of just how bad this is going to get?

my parents work (or worked rather, mum found another job outside of industry) for GM and it is absolutely true that the automakers destroyed themselves and their employees. their production plant has been cutting last minute corners by firing employees at random for the past 5-7 years, as well as lowering their pay every so often - all while increasing labor demands. from what i hear, this is true of nearly every company owned by GM. the end result? thousands upon thousands of gas guzzling hunks of metal wasting away at dealerships all over the country.

from what people have told me, there's not a single fast food restaurant in my town hiring anyone. what the fuck.

this guy Peter Schiff seems to understand it pretty fucking well.

kind of funny collage of clips from years ago where he predicted the timing and the method of economic collapse

i have a hard on for this guy

yeah he's awesome, especially when all the polyannas and bullshit artists were dissing him, he was unflappable.

I know a [Dutch] couple who plan on buying a Dodge SUV. They're also buying a giant American fridge (their normal-size fridge is always at most half empty) with a built-in ice maker...

Haha, I can see why. Thanks GB, exactly what I was looking for.

fucking LOL @ "the banks still have their big guns, they're ready to fire when needed"

1 year later: bailouts baby.

lol

Good grief.
