Do you know what the depression was even about?donny wrote:holly wrote:By mentioning those things, it's somewhat implied that those things were an assumption.LeveLscream wrote:I didn't say you lived at home or in a Dorm. I was saying that I don't have that luxury, knowing now that you don't either;how can you not be a little concerned about what is going down?
I'm not terribly concerned because:
A) I don't have a car, yet am perfectly capable of getting anywhere in the city with a MARTA pass and my bike. Aside from going to Texas by plane, there isn't really anywhere else outside of the city that I need to go.
B) These things have historically gone in cycles, and don't usually last very long. Everyone also knew that the price increases were coming, yet I don't see anyone who prepared for it.
C) This is probably the catalyst to hundreds of shitty and worse things that this situation has caused.
D) I still have a roof over my fucking head and everyone I know is still alive. We have Tulane kids staying at Tech, many of whom do not even know if their families/friends are ok, and many of whom were welcomed to the US with a disaster situation and who have to stay here just to see if they should bother going back to their country or not in case some other university is nice enough to let them attend their school because Tulane is more than likely indefinitely closed.
My point, more or less, is that bitching about this is silly.
Be thankful that the place in which you live is dry and intact.
& get a bicycle like the rest of the damn world.
how silly is the depression this is gonna throw the south into?

Holy shit, are you seriously bringing mention of the Illuminati into this argument?LeveLscream wrote:As Lincoln said in his First Inaugural Address,
"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it."
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
Regionalism is the reordering and rearrangement of governments and jurisdictions so as to transfer power from elected legislative bodies to the executive branch and appointed officials. The international planners have divided the world into regions. The national planners have divided the individual countries into regions. The state planners have divided the states into regions.
At the international level, treaties are crafted and pushed through national legislatures in order to create international organizations and erode national sovereignty (e.g., NAFTA and GATT). A concerted effort is made to combine nations or portions of nations in order to provide an argument for international control.
At the national level, countries are divided into regions by executive order and councils of executive appointees are set up to control each region (e.g., the ten federal regions set up by President Nixon). Control is exercised through zoning and land use regulations and by requirements attached to federal grant money. Multiple states or portions of several states are included to bring the regions under federal jurisdiction.
The same process is repeated at the state level. Regional planning commissions are set up to control all development and funding through land use regulations and direction of spending of tax revenues. The planning commissions are composed of individuals appointed by state Governors, county commissioners, and city mayors, and often include federal appointees. They are not composed of elected representatives of the people who are accountable to the people.
At the local level, regionalism means the combining of municipalities to form new governmental units, with transfer of functions and control from the local level to the county, state, or federal level.
By this process of regionalization, the people lose all control over their own property and their own future. They are oppressed with heavy taxation, endless regulations, and swarms of bureaucrats and officials. This is socialist tyranny, and this is the goal of the New World Order planners.

I enjoy conspiracy talk, keeps you open to other posibilities other than that our system is OK.
So, yea, I know alot about that stuff if you want to discuss it.
Seriously though, conspiracy theories are ridiculous. They're fun to think about sometimes, but completely improbable.
The amount of coordination required for any of these conspiracy theories to work is ridiculous. Human beings and governments are not that organized and never will be.
Greg, the station was one of the hundred BPs on 138 near the I-75 exit. I heard that feds were sent to investigate them.
Hollee......
Hollee......
Exactly what I said should be done... after the fact! Moot fucking point there ma'am. of course there is no point in panicing about the situation, but taking advantage of a crisis for personal gain is wretched...Capitalist free trade or not. Fuck a Hummer, I have a Civic and still pay $30 for a fill-up today where only 5 short years ago I filled up on $11... fair and true economics are not in play here. which is I believe, the entire point of the conversation.Excuse me?
Sunny Perdue stopped the price gouging on Wednesday WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING, & then the President made the ban national the next morning.
I understand the difference in cities like Atlanta vs. NYC or London.
I'm from Philly.
I could take then train anywhere up to an hour outside of the city.
If this is something that gets cities like Atlanta to get their asses in gear, then awesome.
.

It's just a little annoying to have to go through a million fucking news stories to find the EXACT story that I read THAT DAY.
The fault in this logic is that no one will pay $10 for a big mac. Everyone will pay $10 for gas if they have to. The price of a big mac isn't gonna change unless monetary inflation across the board happens so that the cheap price of a big mac stays the same in relation to the inflationary increase.donny wrote:gas was out of control before the hurricane. we are too depend on the gas to keep our economy afloat .when you are paying 10 bucks for a big mac because it costs 10 grand to ship them across the country tell me high gas prices mean lower everything . i dare you , double dog
Demand for gas is inelastic and independent of pretty much any other good, especially inferior goods like big macs. People will spend their money on three things before they spend it on essential stuff like food for their children and rent money - alcohol, cigarettes, and the lottery. That's why all three are available at every gas station across the country.
