LOL! I came to Agora Financial for the macroeconomic analysis... but stayed for the sardonic humor. “…something that will make Pieter Bruegel-the-elder’s “Triumph of Death” look like Vanity Fair’s annual Oscar Party…”

God help us. “…the first intelligent and fair minded Presidency in the last 30 years…”

You just don't get it. So markets fell 50%? Big deal, the correction was what was needed. The US savings rate is up and people still eat junk food...who cares? Obama is handling a ridiculous excess mess he inherited just fine. The world has no option but the US dollar, it will sop up the debt over time. A few up and down years, then we will get back to real growth....not the fake, debt induced growth of the last 30 years. I got out of the market at just under 14000, back in at 6800. I exercise and eat right and will ride the next wave back up. So who cares what everyone else does?? This blog is truly pointless....it correctly predicts a correction...then still just sits around complaining instead of taking advantage of the first intelligent and fair minded Presidency in the last 30 years. You folks sit home with your worthless gold, I will enjoy my life to the fullest. Once again this blog is ridiculous. You just don’t get it. So markets fell 50%?

With our bozo style life styles and belief systems we got to where we are now by sheer luck. Now with the populations we have we are going over the cliff like lemmings. This is historic. The demise of a self centered species that thinks it is immortal.

He's one of the few out there that seems to have a grasp on the "Bigger Picture". I especially enjoy his sarcastic portrayal of a porcine public sated on a steady diet of cheeze doodles, mindless sitcoms and Nascar weekends. Keep it up Jim!

For even one person to make a serious corrective change in his/her behavior and attitude is a miracle. For a whole society?! Moon Girl P.S. The irony and sarcasm in this article were absolutely biting and terrific. I'm luvin' it! Mr. Kunstler,

This is one of those "step-back-from-the-Trees" articles that give Perspective! Great Job!

Interesting comment that people's eating habits and lack of exercise is killing them. Do you think that the credit crisis will tighten people's belts so that they spend less on junky away from home food, drive less and get more natural exercise, tend their gardens and lose weight & become more fit?
