No, this is not a joke: this is, sadly, the big picture of the "global economic and profitability recovery."

We gave up on global growth.
We are now into local growth.
I see nothing wrong, just print moar money.
Grow more rabbits.
Grow more collard greens.
Grow more dairy cows.
Grow more herbs.
Grow more intelligent children.
I don't know how to create a chart that shows roasted rabbit legs stuffed with butter, tarragon, garlic, and lemon rind, wrapped in bacon, and served with a mustard and cream sauce.
Your lunch always looks better than my lunch. But you're doing that thing again where you make me insanely hungry half an hour before I head out to eat.
Well at least we are in a recovery...still.

Study: 1 in 30 U.S. Kids Were Homeless During 2013"The number of homeless children in the United States surged by 8% in 2013 to nearly 2.5 million, according to a new study that attributes the record-breaking figure to a shortage of affordable housing and the lingering effects of a jobless economic recovery."

The problem is, they don't use the same scale for all of the graphs. Some are 85-115, some 95-130, others 60-110. and so on. If you just compare them visually, you're getting a false picture. Edward Tufte would not be amused.
Remove your dependance on outside resources. Concentrate on your own local resourses. OR, you will still be a slave.

Grow baby, grow. Get yourself and children off the system as much as possible. Energy, Food, education. If its pushed by hollywood then the default is that is bad for you.
You up for adopting.
OH! I thought you said "Grow intelligent chickens."
Scared the crap out of me for a second.
Hey, you want to see intelligent chickens?
Go down to Key West, the damn chickens control the town, the people, the politians, police, you name it...heck may be even the weather too.
Wrapping the rabbit in bacon is an abomination: the strong bacon flavour overpowers the subtle rabbit taste!
It depends on the bacon you use, but you are correct, there is nothing subtle about this meal.
Simon Hopkinson made me do it.
I never ate rabbit.. please descibe it.
ZER0 fat and delicious...
Yes delicious! We raise rabbits for meat and fertilizer for our garden.
Next, Guinea pigs for meat...
rabbit manure is the fertilizer bomb! prefer to apply this over any other manure.
Twice digested, too. A rabbit produces two types of pellets, light brown and black. They should have access to their feces since they re-ingest the brown pellets to extract addional nutrients. Yum! Plus, it takes about 30 minutes to dress a chicken and only 5 for a rabbit. Plus plus you can harvest before they are even wiened. Yum again!
the FDA food pyramid is another form of control. grains and carbs make you fat, sick, and stupid. saturated fats make you smart and healthy. go low carb, high fat, lots of green veggies.
Our farm raised rabbit and wild rabbit are very different. The taste is very flavorful, more like pork than chicken. The texture of the backstrap is tender and meaty. The texture of the leg reminds me of leg of lamb more than anything.
I loved rabbit as a kid growing up. Always tender, with a mild sweet flavor. Yes, much like lamb. Wild rabbit will require some time for the toilet later. I remember that, too.
rabbits have a high bone to muscle ratio, at least the one time I had one. It was a lot of work to eat.
Do you just get used to it? or do you do something special?
Those farm raised rabbits look plump.. as most farm animals are, even the free rangers, farm life=the easy life
It does sound good, but it would be a hard sell bringing the cute white bunny to my house with 2 girls 9 & 11..
If you breed and raise them right rabbit is a good family dinner. I never got into raising them but me and chickens have an understanding.
The backstraps (tenderloin) are boneless.
I usually remove the thighbone before cooking the legs.
The meat is more difficult to cut than other meats with higher fat content, so use a sharp dinner knife.
Hey HH, just curious here, do you take all those rabbit pelts and make a bunny suit for your wife ???
...and take pictures?
Tastes like chicken! (A tough chicken.) Unless it is wild caught.
Nothing tough about farm raised rabbit. tender, fine, delicious, low fat, and higher protein than chicken.
Wild caught chickens are a treat.
Then you would love Kauai, wild chickens EVERYWHERE
WIld chickens have almost no meat Spastica. The only place I have ever seen WC is Hawaii...
1) Rabbit is awesome. If anyone likes white meat of chicken, rabbit is even milder and has better texture.
2) Real chickens, whether wild or truly organically raised outside of a mail chute sized cage, taste like...well, chicken. Anyone who has only known store bought packaged chickens doesn't know the actual taste of real chicken.
3) Substitute cow/beef for chicken in #2 above. Seriously, if all one knows is store bought beef, wrapped in plastic, wet as a dish rag, they've never actually tasted beef.
4) My three chest freezers are now loaded with deer, including the filet mignon of venison - the backstrap - that gorged on clover, alfalfa, acorns, apples and field corn and lovely things.
Tastes a lot like chicken. Pretty tasty.
Braised Rabbit, with all the other goodies in the pot ( plenty of old recipes out there to be able to use locally grown veggies, herbs and spice etc..). . . the flavor will jump right out ya !
yes...true but without the bacon, many might say the rabbit is a bit dry! Bacon adds a little "moisture"... :)
I LOVE rabbit on the table even with a BB or two...
Looks great! The problem will be if shit really hits the fan, not your lack of prepardness, but the gazillions of others 'non' prepardness.
Therefore my forecast stays the same: Your chances of survival in such a doomsday scenario will only be around 10% related to prepardness. 90% will be pure fucking luck.
I'm not dissing your efforts i'm just pointing out that as much as our system is a fairytale.....gliding thru a crash by the warmth of a wood fire and feasting on rabits and paying gold for a headjob is also a fairytale. It will be complete utter chaos.
I hope i'm wrong. I'd also assume it happens sooner than later while I can still kick someone's ass lol. Then again i'm sure i'll turn into an instant rambo when a mob shows up. Yeah right. We are fkd beyond belief.
Who can predict such things?
In the mean time we are living pretty well.

excuse me, but what's a headjob ?
It's that thingy connected to the backstrap....
Not unless its a total nuclear war. The alphabet organisations will be out for blood, for the rest its back to local issues and resorces.
Taxes will be unpayable and everyone will want to avoid them at all costs. So governments world round will have to make due on whatever currency they can issue and force the use of.
Yuan may be the goto currency or not depending on how far those agencies will go to get that fat pension check. Or will the just drop the issue and accept a fraction of that value. From what i have seen these people will push the button and burn this world to ash rather then take a 10% cut in their bennys.
A lot of it depends on where you live, if your close to a heavily urban area, your chances go way down. I live in the middle of fly-over country with the other rednecks so my odds are a bit better
GREAT POINT and that is why you/WE should continue to prepare for US/our Family/our NEIGHBOR/AND others that might be unexpected.... :)
At least for the first three!
I sure am.....
This is where networking with like minded neighbors can come into play. Some of us have prepared in areas more thoroughly than others but we all are very well armed. Since this Ebola event, Mr and I have decided to have full off grid capability to be ready if there is another wave of this or other disaster. This will cost far more money than we anticipated ( fuck you Ben) but this will add to our community's resourcefulness.
I am not sure if one individual family could hold out in a long protracted disaster. We realized the longer it goes, more desperate people will become and our remote location will no longer protect us. Perhaps you should evaluate those around you to see how they would react in such an event?
Gold does seem a bit steep for a head job in any case. Though mr does say I am damn fine, that would certainly be deemed excessive. ;-)
Miffed;-)

Damn you man !!!

One thing here is for sure, nothing can derail a zerohedge post faster than Hedgeless posting one of his dinner plate photos!!! Well done Sir !!!
I am sorry for the perceived thread jack, but I honestly cannot think of many intelligent responses to those declining global growth charts. Believe me when I say that I have tried.
HH it works for me. I've got a steer who is on his way to the freezer this coming weekend.
No apologies necessary HH, your showng everyone how it can be done, how it used to be done, is invaluable...
Hedge:
What kind of rabbits are you raising? Been thinking about it for some time now. My daughter asked for one as a pet - we got a Holland lop dwarf - that not the kind to raise for meat (too small) but we are real attached to her anyway now.
We breed both New Zealand and California rabbits.
Do you grow chickens for meat or just eggs? If so what type of chicken for meat or for eggs?
Mottled Houdan is our preferred dual-purpose breed.

the ecb member hinting at buying gold and stocks reeks of
DESPARATION
sticking to my call that US enters a recession no later than Q1 2015
When gold is above 5k, this recession will end. The whole world saves in it and it is on every sovereign balance sheet. It was deliberate mispricing that was the desperation. The bankers need assets for their balance sheets, not more paper.
No most of the world sells food, not gold. It will have to be the rise in the price of food that puts money in the pockets of small farmers , you need them over extended on loans just like people got on houseing. Then comes the crash and they lose everything while the money men chase the next bubble.
dammit...recession NOT ALLOWED!! If you want to play the game you should read the rules!

Must be said, though, the UK government/big oil aren't exactly rushing to pass on the lower bbl price at the pumps, since we dropped off the highs. It's come down a little but nowhere near as much as the input cost has. Profit and taxes still take priority, it seems!
The Japan chart seems a bit off...
I thought so, too. Maybe that's in nominal Abe-bucks. Cause I Japan fell into historic negative trade balance which caused the printing frenzy. So something doesn't jive.

Oh, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
They must have meant the Economics Prize because he sure as fuck hasn't done anything for peace.
Morgan Stanley lowered Q4 GDP est to 2 percent today and the Philly Fed dropped it to 2.7 from 3.1. All around strong data moving forward based on the talking heads. Since these numbers are so good for QE4 early next year they will tell us Dow to 18000 soon. LOL
with such great leadership, what can go wrong?
May I suggest a roll of quarters be inserted into the rectum of each household member. It's called a "landing pad", and we're gonna need such protection by the time we're done getting screwed and put away wet.

No, this is not a joke: this is, sadly, the big picture of the "global economic and corporate recovery."
What do you mean, the global economic recovery is a joke. The corporate recovery too, due to the fraud and manipulation which is being done to fatten up the executive pay and bonuses through stock buybacks.
That's not right.

Thank you for elegantly exposing the most glaring part of the charts by far!! Kudos.
Thank God the Central Bank has allowed all these corporation to buy back stock through low interest rate loans so that the Banks can sell their stock back to corporations that do buybacks. This way the Banks that are left can buy all the stock back after the next crash when the corporation have to offer stock when they have declining revenue. ZIRP is working perfectly for those that created ZIRP.
Our founders warned us about banksters. Through inflation, then deflation, the American People will end up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
Thank you Joo banksters, Liberals, communists, socialists,progressive, nesters, and last but not least to the vast horde of the imbecilic, savage, Ebonic Plague which has cursed this country for centuries.
the stock market doesnt reflect future growth,
it represents future inflation that will be caused by central bankers' commitment to do whatever it takes to have price stability,
the central bankers think they can curb inflation, the market knows they cannot, and thus the market will keep going up, until finally the bubble bursts
Apparently the the Apparatchiks at the Fed. and CNBS have been looking at those charts in the mirror when bloviating about how well the eCONomy is doing...
After further inspection I call B.S. on the 2015 projections, which makes me doubt the 2014 numbers. Why are the 2015 numbers more or less exact duplicates of 2014 but with slightly rounded edges? I expect 2015 to be bad but an exact duplicate, month by month, of 2014? No.
And how did the 2015 numbers jump to such high starting points?
I wondered which country was associated with the only chart with a positive slope. Surprise! It is Japan.

STFU ZH. The more you talk this shit it up, the longer the central planners will shove negative rates down our throats.
Barry's about to legalize 11 million illegals. The Dems on the radio show applauded his action saying it will add $1 Trillion to the GDP. The jobless people I know aren't so sure adding 11 million will help their jobless plight.
Interstingly, many Latinos I know are against legaling these illegals saying adding that many more Hispanics to compete with them will hurt them. Yet, Barry ignores this group of Latinos. The recent elections showed many Latinos are now voting Rep and against adding 11 million more Latinos to compete with them, as one non-NPR hot mentioned.
I wonder how this makes the hard-working immigrants feel who are actually following the rules for citizenship?
It's all about more democrat voters - illegal or not.
.
If I'm not mistaken, the illegals are currently not able to apply for many forms of government assistance. They actually need to work to survive.
Adding 11 million people to the government subsidy programs guarantees more debt, more dependencies and somehow that translates into economic growth.
The bankers are running this gig. Everyone else still contributing by entrepreneurship or real work can "GFYS".

YAY! A febble QE4 just around the corner! FED is licking it's chops at all the juicy high yield corporate paper....
I recommend "The Crime of 1873" Milton Friedman. Available online on JSTOR. One of the last economists to write in English. Amazing that Americans debated this. He reports that the rumors were that it only took $500,000 to bribe the US Congress into dropping the silver dollar, going completely to a gold standard. Interesting that he both reports it and dismisses it. Over the following three years 18,000 businesses failed. The deflationary impact of going to gold he estimates at -1.7% inflation rate per annum. By 1893 the underlying economy had adjusted to the chronic shortage of money and reintroducing a silver peg would have been wildly inflationary...at the old peg. He doesn't talk about stepping the peg slowing back toward 16 or 15.5 (France had a bimetal peg at 15.5 until....drum-roll...1873. Germany also dropped the silver Thaler). Of course gold proved too constraining for the American world order and we have swung the whole way to an unbacked curency. Kennedy wanted to reintroduce silver, it was one of his many "sins." Friedman shows the inflation performance in 1800's. He says he thinks interest rates under gold had to be higher to compensate for the the risk/expectation of reintroducing silver. Bimetalism was what Hamilton recommended and America used for most of the 1800's. (Of course Lincoln went to greenbacks rather than borrow to fight the South.) Friedman shows that bimetalism smooths inflation performance/works better over a generational cycle and periods of gold discoveries/inflation shocks. Some of this was just competition among the miners. Going to gold alone favored Austrl, Can, Russia, Calif, over the silver mining states....Colorado, Nevada, Argentina.
Who owned the miners?

Now you know who was really in charge and has the blood of millions on their hands in two major wars in the following century.
Yea, but what about the wealth of the upper 1%? It has increased for sure. Just wait for the 'trickle down effect' to gain momentum. lol
Hey man, every one of those charts looks like a ski slope...moguls and all.

Mogul is among my least favorite words.
Did anyone else get this feeling that the G20 meeting was a complete joke? New low for our political class?
Focus on Russia because Canada somehow thinks it owns parts of Ukraine? PM Harper confirming to the world what many already suspected. All politicians are a tool of the elite which is stirring the pot for another major war.
Then there's this bogus "growth target" of 2.1% until 2018. Is that annually or is that over the course of the next 4 years? They didn't really give us too much detail on that. Other than declaring they would want to encourage investment and infrastructure spending. When all else fails... they build roads
Any wonder that Putin left this clown show early? It was complete bullshit and a non event. IMF had met in Australia earlier and pretty much said the same things about growth.

After reading your post I came to the realization that they've been trying to get a world war going to prop up the ponzi, but that's not new to me or anyone on ZH, what is new to me at least is, the idiot ruling class know they can't start said war because they can't fool the population anymore. First of all at least 1/2 the global population doesn't believe a word they say anymore, second no one has the stomach for another fake war.
I believe their failure is almost complete, barring someone does something stupid like throwing a nuke.
