Hey it’s Mark. It seems like just yesterday that Facebook had its historic I.P.O. and, thanks to you, my net worth soared to a staggering $20 billion. What an awesome day that was for both of us. Today was a different kind of day. Facebook shares are plunging because the geniuses on Wall Street expect us to, and I quote, “make money.” That’s why your Facebook friend Mark needs your help.
Facebook only makes money if people click on its ads. Do you know what Facebook ads are? They’re those things on your Facebook page that you have never clicked on even once. But at Facebook we’re looking to change that. After doing extensive market research, we learned that there is one time when people actually do click on Facebook ads: when they’re drunk. This is the same business model that iTunes is based on. I’m sure a few of you have had the experience of using Facebook late at night, only to wake up and find that you’ve gotten seven auto-insurance quotes or enrolled as a criminal-justice major at the University of Phoenix.
Mr. Romney’s day got off to a bad start when he told a reporter for the Sunday Times, “I don’t mind that the British keep calling me a banker, but why do they pronounce it with a ‘W’?”

1955...the year the Brit empire officially ended.
'depression'.....First time I've seen word used.
deepest recession and weakest recovery for 100 years....
and that would be....
1912.....includes WWI.
And the Panic of 1907 was not over.
the worst economic performance since the 19th century....
And 1873 was the Worst Depression ever....which lasted right up to the USS Maine.....
So to ReCap:
the founding of the Jekyll's Island FedRes, USSA and Rockefeller's Big Oil, the 100 years of the Greatest wealth Producvtion/transfer in World History along with 2 WW's and the Truman Doctrine which we still live under.....
and now the All too predictable Peak Oil and it's concomitant Climate Change...has brought us here:

Today's data did little to change the fact that ordinary Americans' views of current economic conditions remain at the odds with what Washington and Wall Street keep telling us.[/quote]
