a shitstorm is a subset of a recession, right? Therefore...since the Recession 2008 odds are 11% (Intrade), then the shitstorm odds will be less.

^desperately lonely, trolling on message boards now switching handles so he can respond to himself

cousin bhhupal-srilanka, long time!

shitstorm tard just posts stuff he makes up, when someone challenges him he hides like a little bitch.

No, here's the deal Bunky Predicto and others have had many debates (debaits, in your case) with you over the years, and they repeatedly provide supporting evidence/proof, over and over aagin, but it doesn't fit into your preconceived worldview, so you ignore it. You just block it out, or at least pretend to. Then the same argument comes along later, and you demand that someone present the same evidence again, for the umpteenth time, but people just get fed up with your loneliness-driven trolling and walk away. That's when you say "come back here you coward, I'll bite your legs off!" But you know all that already, don't you? And yet you can't stop yourself from doing it over and over again. Because you're insane.

you're confused: your evidence didnt prove your argument

^case in point, there you go again

you can say that you gave Bunky all kinds of evidence. Thats great. The fact is you haven't given me any and I say no recession and certainly no "meltdown" or whatever you it. Any "evidence" you attempt to show me I have seen already, I know about it. No recession, no meltdown: get it?

You're fucking insane, DeBunker Really dude, you need to take control of your life

Hey dash, Flunkie isn't worth it. You'll never convince him that the Earth is round, and his opinion doesn't matter anyway. He's only here to amuse himself. He has no other form of human interaction. Save yourself, man.

You've never proven jackshit

yup, shitstorm guy is a wuss.

What was panda ever All I've seen is that he mocks the "shitstorm" predictions.

true....shitstorm's never been defined

you're confused i would look at the facts, and be able to judge whether it was the worst since the 1930s we might disagree on how 'bad' things are, of course

No, you're confused Let's say the GD was 10 on the scale of shittiness. The worst downturn since then, during the 70s and 80s, might register a 3. So if the shitstorm hits even a 5, we wouldn't need to quibble whether it's 5.7 or 5.3 or even if it's 8.6. It's higher than 3, so it's the worst since the GD, and that's the only metric you need to bother with.

ok....i agree

he got nuthin'

I bet that if the economy tanks into the worst shitstorm since the Great Depression, you'll say that Predicto never made any such prediction, right?

no....ill give him credit But remember, if it's going to be the worst since the 1930s, it will have to surpass 1980/1/2 and 1991's downturn .... we have a *long* way to go before we even approach those downturns.

Yea, tanks is right. Been 8 years in the making.

Many economists say we're already in a recession Of course their definitions may not align with the classical 2 quarters of negative GDP growth definition.

Thanks for agreeing Bunky!

OH, PLEASE, it's closer to depression than reces Think about it. All it would take to crack this economy right now is one major blow and it would go completely down the tubes. Look at the facts -- jobs at anb all time low, more layoffs every day, house values at all time low, mortgage banks collapsing all over the place, the government has to step in to take over Genie May and Freddy Mac, a war that is costing like $300 billion a year, a second war with Iran almost imminent, Afghanistan heating up as well, storms destroying the Golf Coast, the stock market going down almost every day for 9 months now. What is it going to take to open your eyes and see that things are really bad. And another terrorist attack like on 911 would really cut the heart out. And it's not a fantasy. They did it once. They could do it again. But next time it might be something totally unexpected.

Bunky. Can you please promise you'll go outside tomorrow and get some sun - instead of trollin' here all day long? Please? You yourself mentioned you have a vitamin-D deficiency. I'm concerned about your physical health. I've already given up on your mental health.

WTF? You're right matey.

i cant....i sleep all day My insomnia is so bad that i get to sleep around 6am and wake around 3pm.... by the time i check email, drink a smoothie, and shower, it's 5pm. Not much sunlight left by then. Yes, i am taking Vit D now. On Friday, the doc suggested i see a therapist because of 'somatization' of my physical symptoms. LOL... i told him (in not so many words) to fuck off.

Beats colon cleansing I reckon'... I guess it's also not the first time someone suggested you visit a psyche professional either. I'll take a sip of beer to your health Bunky. Yes, you're typiy an annoying m'fer, but this place wouldn't be the same without you.

yes, i've been referred to shrinks a few times ...for my 'imagined' symptoms. But i've been battling for 10 years to get off psych and non-psych meds, and solve health problems the 'natural' way, so that tends to conflict with the conventional docs who i see. 'Somatization' is what i've been accused of having, multiple times. Thanks....have a sip for me :)
