Hi BigBull,
There's always two sides to every story,
but in the current situation you seem to figure only the negative factors should count.

eg---
There's layoffs, but overall the employment situation is still strong.
But you only look at the layoffs, or at least that's all you mention in your posts.
Where's the balance?

In Australia I heard a descriptive turn-of-phrase which was used about people who could only see one side of an issue. They were called 'One-Eyed.'

Irt the economy --- Will things get worse? Much worse?
Maybe. Maybe not.
I don't know.
I don't think anybody really does.
But you are certain.
You have been a great source of info & informed opinion here in times past, but now you seem to have become 'One-Eyed' and to tell you the truth I think your opinion has much less value than it used to because you seem to have made up your mind and are only interested in info that supports your already formed conclusions. Info on the other side of the scales is ignored. (In your recent posts, at least.)

Also, imho your posting doesn't inspire confidence that you are forming your opinions dispassionately.

jmvvho.
Not meant to 'trivialize, demean, and belittle' you.
(btw, If you felt I did that when I posted to you that 'The sky is not falling' sometime back, I'm sorry.
I meant that in a friendly joshing way.)

regards,
diana
