Please elaborate. What do you mean by totality and how do you measure it? And what exactly is the opposing hypothesis?

CWB;
Nice try, but there is no explaning certain intractables in life. The What seems to be giddy in the thought that wealthy folks in Park Slope will take some hits, but, as you point out, the real damage is being done to working folks. I tend to take a “tough love” approach to getting out of this mess, but your point is taken that we are talking about folks who made the “despicable” mistake of wanting a nicer home for their family in some suburban tract out in the desert.
How about this gem from BHO:”(2010 rebound – ROTFLMMFAO!). Stock up on non-perishables.”
Heck, with this mentality, why even waste your money on a brownstone? The price of land in Idaho is also cheap right now, perfect for building the bunker/militia compound.
snark—your chances of meeting the multilingual woodchuck are way better.
> “asking the What to be empathetic is like asking a woodchuck to speak swahili.”
I’m betting I meet a Swahili-fluent woodchuck first.
“2010 rebound – ROTFLMMFAO!”
Serious question–do you actually see an economic downturn lasting beyond the end of next year to be something that would cause you to roll on the floor laughing your mother fucking ass off about?
“Nothing selling at half off, but the $800,000 loss on the first house is interesting.”
Interesting indeed. Gotta pass through -19% before you reach -50%. Keep the cameras rolling.

As I stated yesterday regarding the gleeful handwringing of certain posters here;
…as the consensus among assclowns and morons reaches totality, the probability of the opposing hypothesis being correct approaches certainty.
If it is bunker time I am feeling pretty good about my bunker!
I don’t know why I keep hoping for a lucid explanation. 🙂
