Everything seemingly is spinning out of control - Yahoo! News (broken link)
So I'm reading the business section of yahoo news and I come across this piece. Now I understand that there alot of Shiite that is or is perceived as going terribly wrong in the world right now. And the article is an interesting look at what might be happing in the American Psyche with all the bad news of late. But what the fook is this crap doing in the business section?
BTW this is my semi-dodge quote of the week from this article.
Quote:
American University historian Allan J. Lichtman notes that the U.S. has endured comparable periods and worse, including the economic stagflation (stagnant growth combined with inflation) and Iran hostage crisis of 1980; the dawn of the Cold War, the Korean War and the hysterical hunts for domestic Communists in the late 1940s and early 1950s; and the Depression of the 1930s.
"All those periods were followed by much more optimistic periods in which the American people had their confidence restored," he said. "Of course, that doesn't mean it will happen again."
