the great depression vs today

[gwb72tii]

Back in 1929 Financial Crash it was said that some Wall Street Stockbrokers and Bankers JUMPED from their office windows and committed suicide when confronted with the news of their firms and clients financial ruin . . . Many people were said to almost feel a little sorry for them . . . . . .


In 2008 the attitude has changed somewhat:

on the news they said our recession should be over by middle of next year. idk about that. then again i heard else where, that they said it wont be over till 2011 or 2012?

I read a great internal piece the other day comparing "the great depression" to todays recession and it isn't even close to a fair comparison. People think that because we say unemployment go up .3% or whatever as well as oil prices fall that he world is going to end. If people only saw the real numbers and not the prophecized bull shit we'd be fine.

Cliff notes - the world isn't going to end. chill thefuck out. the faster you chill you and just get back on with life, the faster this will be over.
