Good article in The New Yorker about Martin Armstrong, and his cycle theory.
Even gives a shout out to ZH on pg 73

Fascinating read, thanks.
I am from the Midwest. What kind of cycle is Detroit, Flint, and Youngstown in?
What kind of cycle is it when a thriving civilization turns into a barren wasteland, e.g. Carthage?
Sometimes, it seems to me, it's not the cycle: it's called getting your ass kicked.
Great post.
I wonder,... what Fibonacci retracement are we at when we're strangling our neighbor to get his last few cans of Dinky-Di?
Does Elliot wave theory have any predictive capacity regarding when "drinking blood from skulls" will start it's bull run?
So, the City Boy's and Girl's of fact & fiction have to find new outlets of meaninglessness. They had better be careful that they don't get caught up in the never ending need for productivity increases via a different powder.
Regarding the boomers wealth shift. Supply and demand seem to dictate that we are about to enter years of a glut of sellers as the boomers retire, and a shortage of buyers, as my generation is both less numerous and more broke than our parents. How is this not going to drive the market down for years to come?
UK mail on strike....revolt from peasants due to Dole checks stuck in the system...
Detroit is being turned back into farmland ...... this is true, not just an opinion. Agriculture on that side of Michigan is the future there.
Wait, let me guess...Crops will be Cotton, soybeans and more Cotton!!
A bit cold for cotton don't ya think.
Well then let it be Meth labs...they just got an infusion of bailout money.
This time it will be barrels of "E" and pressurized fertilizer products getting rolled across the frozen border. Unless they turn those great big empty buildings into grow rooms to compete with the seasonal crop out of Calli & BC.
Fuck you Paul Krugman. You fucking nobel awarded tool of the assholes.
Can anyone .pdf that martin armstrong article???? I can't get scribd things here at work. Stupid websense!
Are we supposed to feel compassion for these people? As average americans are living in "tent cities", my compassion for Wall Street is at a minimum.
Yup. They drink sympathy like vampires drink blood. You're supposed to feel sorry for them.
They never show thier receptive side until everything is good and fucked up.
