i turn on tv its all they talk about, somewhere i guess some motherfuckers is out of a job, but to me, everything is just about the same.
take it this way. at any given time about 5% of bitches is out of work. so, now its 10%. whats an extra 5% on top of a 5. when its 25% lets worry then.
my neighborhood, nobodys getting forclosed and everyone still goes to work, mailman walk around with a light on his head like a dam miner. my peoples buy new cars and do whatever folk do, fix they plumbing, hell i dont know.
all i am saying is, what the hell everyone makes a big deal about this shit? now if you are out of work or something i can understand, but i dont know. everything seemed ok to me until people started bitching about every dam thing. hell
Clean up your language, improve your writing skills and then we can talk. By we I mean others plus myself on this forum.
0ver 20% of bitches out of work
eeeeets fuuuun, to be troooooolllled, by buuuuu-iiiick
EVERYONE!
Surely you jest! Obviously, you haven't any clue about the world outside of your neighborhood.
not really, if a clue in this case is to mean "some sort of economic crises or whatever they're on about..."
i get into the city sometimes but it looks about the same as it did a few years ago. i dont drive around the united states tho. fuck that
who the fuck drives around the united states lookin in at the economic state of various communities, anyway? thats some BULLshit life right there.
2008 was just a minor hiccup for you?
i remember it as a pretty good year to tell you the truth. second year of not drinking, getting a lot of creative stuff done...
02 that was a bad year. everyone hating on everyone that year
So what were you doing then? Own your own home? Nice car and good job? Were you feeding yourself?
lol, wow. nothing so sad as educated people trying to act uneducated to fit in. way to race to the bottom homie.
happy to have made you laugh, Richard Kent Gates.

not sure your physical location tells me much, or the Buik bit, but thx, i think.
Out of sight, out of mind? Sounds like you were particularly lucky. The recession seems to evoke visceral feelings in most people. Not knocking you for that, but understand that to a great many people it is a grave problem, and the fact that you live in an area unaffected means that some other community is even worse off than average.
Also, I might note that the unemployment statistics are flawed, for they only take into account people who are actively looking for work and who meet a few other trivial criteria, and doesn't take into account underemployment. The actual unemployment/underemployment rate, especially among youth, could be exceeding 25%.
i have always been accused of being out of touch. i generally dont notice cultural things until about 10 years after everyone else. everything. movies, music, politicians, actors, slang, just about everything.
anyway, the youth always had high unemployment, man. hell when i was 20 i worked like 15 hours a week.
hell sometimes i didnt work at all when i was 20-25. i remember a lot of summers at the girlfriend's pool she would get home and i would be drunk at the pool. she was a keeper. eventually her dad found out about us and got in the way. i hate that bastard : )
Because you're talking about people who think the world owe them something, because their parents told them it does. I won't even be worried at 50%, so long as I have my job and I'm sure you feel the same. Everything is still okay to people like you and me because we are working while they willfully lose their jobs. They forget there are the "99%" who pay that bank note every month no matter what.
