So, basikhally, the world's economy is fucked.

It's not, that's just doom & glooming. Also, developed countries will never go back to 3rd world unless there's some asteroid impact or something. Too much experience, know-how, systems, infrastructuce, connections etc have been in place for decades/centuries. Argentina BANKRUPTED and that barely pushed it down to developing rank.

Watching this reminds me of the great Spielberg movies which were just a blast (in terms of quality and fun) to watch...don't get too many of those by Spielberg anyone any more...

 

 

And L-O-fucking-L at the comparisons between Jaws and GZ2014. Mindblowing that Spielberg was my age when he made this film.

For the US... up until about the late 1960's or so and then all downhill from there.

I predict overreaction.

Late 90s-early 00s weren't too bad, though maybe it was just Cleveland.

That was the calm before the storm. Glass-Steagall was gutted by Clinton late in his second term and that had a lot to do with the 2008 crash. Clinton was as responsible for the crash as Bush was. The overall trend was down.

69 is nothing special IMO.

33.5?Did DOFP pull out 13.5M on Saturday?

[a2k]

33.5 would be a 63% drop. not 64% - 32.5m would be 64% drop.

so either the weekend number or the weekend drop is wrong.

33.5 million would be pretty good coming from Friday. I'll take it if true
