What Is A “Jobless Recovery”? Part 2 of 2

What’s Causing The Recovery

The “…….green shoots of recovery……..” that are meant to be sprouting must be based on SOMETHING, right?!  I mean, things can’t just get better for no reason.

So what IS the reason?

Let’s think about it; it could be the new tele-transportation devices that have been invented and made so cheaply that everybody can travel anywhere within seconds.  Or, it might be the free energy that we have discovered how to store and transport to everybody at no cost to them.  Perhaps it’s the Time Machines that were devised recently and that are being used to go back in time and correct the financial mess that we’ve been thrown into?  How about the fact that all humans have suddenly decided to get along by agreeing on one political system and one religion?

Facetious!  Me?

Of COURSE I’m being facetious.  My point is that NOTHING has happened to create a recovery from this depression (oops! I mean “recession”) and until that time comes (and it will be a long time coming) there will BE no recovery.

After the stock-market crash of 1929, it took TWO YEARS before the Great Deprssion really started, and when it did, it lasted for a whole DECADE.  In America, it wasn’t until the U.S. joined the Second World War that the recovery actually started.  Yes, it took A WAR to get the economy growing again.

Why A War?

How could a war be good for the economy?  Simple; it created lots of NEEDS.  The needs were for new products and services to feed the war machine.  Airplanes didn’t build themselves, nor did all the other equipment needed to fight a war.

Today, we are in a similar BUT FAR WORSE situation than people 80 years ago.  We have mortgages, credit cards and lots of other things that we have borrowed money to buy.  The financial “geniuses” who have created all of these “investment instruments” (scams) have taken what we individuals have done to ourselves and made it a thousand times worse.

The End

History will show this period to be one of MASSIVE change, both politically and physically.

Like pulling off a band-aid, it’s going to hurt and it will hurt A LOT for a lot of people.  Will we survive it? As race (humans that is), we most likely will survive it.

Humans might even come out of it as better people; more educated, stronger, more understanding and more creative than ever.

The harrowing experiences that we are all about to endure will either make you or break you.  As an individual, you should start preparing NOW for these changes. You must learn new skills and learn them quickly.  There really is no point in shutting the barn door after the horse has already said “bye bye” (ever heard of Mr. Ed?).
