that's absurd, ace.

the reasons for job loss have everything to do with demand collapse on the one side and the consequences of the ongoing credit freeze on the other, which in turn has to do with structural problems within neoliberal-style capitalism as a whole. and this is a global phenomenon. it doesn't matter whether you agree with this or not--it's simply an empirical fact that you can choose to either wrap your head around or not.

since you provide no factual support for your various pollyanna claims that everything is basically normal and such problems as there are follow from bad people who say negative things, i really don't see why your position should be taken seriously unless you start providing some basis for them beyond your vague pronouncements about the state of things.
