I don't even think this R means it's in neutral...
Highway to hell, next exit.
Unka Sam be rayciss cuz he doubt Obama
Does that electronic speed sign display negative numbers?
If it doesn’t now, it will need an upgrade soon,
Times were good in America. There was plenty of everything: jobs, security, laughs. America was in great shape, except for the President, William Howard Taft. Was *he* a porker. At 310 lbs. he weighed as much as Teddy Roosevelt and half of William McKinley. Immigrants poured into the country from all over the world looking for a better life for their children. And over 97% of them settled into a 2-block area of New York City.

CARJACKED !
I guess Miss Daissy ain't comling home anytime soon..
the proper depiction would have a line of cars in the left lane and the right 2 lanes completey empty.
My Google glasses say i drive 85 mph.
I would see it as it was in Moscow under the Old Guard. The center lane would remain open. It was used just for Communist Party vehicles, I've been told.
Bridge out sign with the pedal to the metal.
Highway to hell...reminds me of that old AC/DC song...

Well, silver got Thunderstrucked today.
Get ready for the rollercoaster. Make certain your harness and lapbar are secured. You ain't seen nothin' yet!
The American consumer is so dead, it's beyond question now.

I think 96 2s slots per day on MTV that just flash "DYOH" will kick this up a bar.
It's a slippery backward slope and it's accelerating now!
All aboard!
The banksters stole it all and Obama paid them back for getting him into the whitehouse by letting them off. Now the whole place has gone to hell. The wealthy live lavish lifestyles while the rest pay for it.
The banksters create money out of thin air then use the low interest rates to rob the sheeple.
Hopium.

the 7th summer of recovery>>>>>
Myself? I'm heading into my 8th Winter of Discontent.
"Recovery Summer 2" was an original thought here
GREEEEEN SHOOOOTS! HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHA!
They missed the exit for recovery in 2008. Doesn't matter if we do a hundred miles an hour now, we're not heading for recovery. We're heading for disaster. But with our Clark Griswald elites at the wheel, they'll never admit they made a wrong turn or change directions at this point.
I am still hoping on seeing that red Ferrari in the rearview. Love me some Christie Brinkley. Car is nice too.
At this point it's all over but the sex and the cryin, might as well make it count.

You'll most likely see Caitlyn or the Kartrashian sisters these days....you know folks with obvious mental disorders.
Good talk, Russ
bridge to nowhere
This cartoon is too optimistic... we took an exit marked "economic contraction" some miles back. And the odometer on that Detroit-built lemon is ticking up to 150k - right around the engineered failure/replacement level.
Every honest micro & macro measure available is screaming "collapse & reset".
Nah - just change the QE filters and check the may-pop ZIRP tires and she'll keep runnin'. Think, Joads on the way to the valley.

Working on replacing the ZIRP tires with the new improved NIRP tires!
Prez working on new speech during his vacation that includes the phrase "You didn't save that Money.". BTW: Yellen has spent her vacation reading "How I stopped worrying about stagnation and learned to Love NIRP"
The car speedometer is actually topped out, the wheels are a blurr, the car is smokin'. The speed is measured at 0 because the car is actually slipping backwards.
The printer is going full tilt just to keep the bitch on the road.
There's an old USSR saying: "Russia is a country with a dark past and bright future, and it'll remain that way forever".
There's an old American saying: 'There's a sucker born every minute."
We maxed out in 2000.
Goldilocks, slow growth, low inflation: looks like 2007!
I think there's supposed to be a Negative value on that sign...
Took the words out of my mouth, man...
But...green shoots n shiite!
Shouldn't that your speed sign have a negative number?

For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
One of the things that sucks about this administration the most is it's bastardization of the concept of hope..... They have even hijacked and debased hope! Orwell was clearly an optimist.
Hope should be strung up and eviscerated.
Hope can certainly be a turning point that creates a new insight where change is possible. Usually hope is passive. Hope is waiting for it to happen. Hope is an excuse to let it sit till later.
Read Mans Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl who survived 4 concentration camps. Interesting to note, hope was not on the survival list. That would get you in a bad mental state. Those who did survive, killed their emotion, made associations if they could be advantageous, worked hard and showed no weakness, did not waste energy on the dying, ate their watery soup and bite of bread with no comment, tried to stay in the center of a group to receive the least amount of beatings and not be noticed.
The book is disturbing and I question my ability in such a circumstance. It still haunts me.

Mans Search for Meaning…
I had to watch the movie "Night and Fog" as a 9th grader in a film appreciation class in a SF east bay suburban high school in 1973. What I remember of that class, (besides smoking dope before the evening airings of Reefer Madness) under the auspices of the recently graduated Berkeley educated instructor were pictures of baskets and symmetrically piled heads of persons less fortunate than the writer. I also remember the scene of bulldozers leveling out piles of human corpses in trenches that were said to be adjacent to Nazi concentration camps.
I will confess much of my innocence died under his tutelage and to this day I don’t know if I can say it was a positive or negative experience.
The book has always struck me as a conundrum as I never sensed the author ever comes out with a full-fledged conviction that the Creator does in fact have a plan and purpose and that His human creatures are designed and provided with the means to enjoy their eternity in a redeemed state.
Jmunderstanding at this point.
Being un-noticed has to be a decent strategy at any time.
At least you get left alone.
Don't know the book, but do have some idea of the concepts. A good friend of my dad who served in WW2 and was in Nagasaki about a week after the US paid a visit. 92 and still has nigntmares regarding what he had to do to survive in jungle warfare - said the only way through was to have no emotion and just do whatever it took to remain alive.
The elite/1 percenter's are doing fine and don't give a flying F about the rest. Will never change as they will protect their positions at all cost. As so many say here, it's a small club and you ain't in it.
At least everyone can blame the dumb nigga muslim for the next 100 yrs
The comments section of ZH has gotten to be downright fucking stupid.
Gone downhill somewhat, but still some thinkers here.
Best to try to ignore the idiots - not worth wasting energy on.
Every now and again you can't help but to point out flat out idiocy, however.
You are a 6 year veteran. I found ZH about 4 and 1/2 years ago and was amazed at the quality of content and comments. It took a year to even consider joining. I wish many of the original people would return but to give so much of their free time to share their perspectives is probably unreasonable. I wish them well and am thankful. Many have changed my life.

Only problem is that the cartoon is not showing Zion and their grifting banksters stripping the car clean, rims and all, and their tyranny killing its occupants, the American people.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Zion's plunder and tyranny assures that we're all Eric Garner.
The speedometer doesn't work properly. Should be showing a negative number...
Things are good. The missus and myself have both kept employed and the social security money now has no penalty for making over $27,000. Who could ask for anything more?
Where's the Obamacare tollbooth?
We just passed it.
if he doesnt give people money to spend there wont be any recovery
Or, better: expunge frudulent debts and quit enriching the Poobahs of the Cult Of Usury.
Lloyd and Jamie ran GS and JPM off a cliff in 2008 that should legally have resulted in Trillions of Dollars in losses and a complete systemic reset and are somehow BILLIONAIRES today.
...& they aren't the only ones or the only insititutions by a long shot..
The theft and graft and fraud was not punished and ceased: it was rewarded and increased.
We don't need to hand out free shit: we need to recover ALL that was stolen and hang everyone involved in those thefts at every level of govenment and industry.
my short history is this, first 1 trillion went missing during Bush, third Bernanke had to print up a trillion to replace it, second was the market crash, which was necessary to get from 1 to 3
Rate of change be raacessstt!
Down was up in his Affirmative Economics classes.
