And just like Jack, you've said...absolutely nothing.
lumbollo, Vitner being an economist certainly knows the definition of an ecomomic recovery. The problem is when people who don't understand what it means try to interpret what they think he means.

you're right CB, I've said nothing. I've always said nothing about these posts....
Instead of critiquing articles and the bias behind them like the OP posted, I'll just cut and paste (and offer nothing) & leave it up to the readers to decide like you do....
All these people (mikeykid/lumbollo) that commented are wrong about you cb, right??? I guess it must be some "vast conspiracy"...right?

Yep, like minds think alike, and whenever you're ready to explain what was inaccurate in that article, I'm ready to listen. Until then, $H&% or get off the pot
Well, after having read Mr. Vitner's prescient prognostication of the housing market in 2006, I surely hope that his recent statements about the place of Charlotte in the national economy doesn't result in the city being destroyed by a giant asteroid, much like the one that ended the Cretaceous Period!

This is a false authority fallacy. A title means nothing as it's the results that matter. "Economists", including Vitner, completely failed so see the economic collapse of 2008 and have gotten it consistently wrong ever since.
In regards to the second comment, none of us have tried to interpret what is in Vitner's mind and what he is thinking. We are commented on his words given at a speech and parroted by the newspaper without question. In fact, by informing us what Vitner "knows" you are the only one guilty of this in this topic.
People are bad at their jobs every day... Some get to be bad at their jobs with no consequences. Economists are like weather people in that regard - if they get their prediction wrong they can blame the model or unforeseen forces.
In this regard, the content of the "article" is meaningless as the source has been proven to be bad at his job in the past. What compounds that is that it is an Observer "story". That's how I choose to look at it.
