I am about to turn 32.. but I was about to turn 29 in 2008. So that’s good. But what is bad was ….well, an economic collapse. Today a bad jobs report was released, the market crashed, and more dire warning crept into headlines from around the world. Yes, indeed, it’s beginning to feel like and economic collapse is upon us again..

Allegations state that Morgan Stanley shared negative news with big investors right before Facebook went public… this news today after only days since Facebook was unveiled on the market—and the stock declined ferociously ever since.

Another story about the Facebook financial drama from CNBC, which reports that the stock selloff Monday nearly turned into a run..

But think of it this way: Facebook is virtual. It’s selling virtual reality. And in reality it’s selling you. So really, what market investor really wants to invest in you anyway?

Merkel warns.
Greece scorns.

Euro splits…
Call it quits? 

Stocks dash.
Hope no crash.

Be aware.
The Euro’s square. 

As though we needed another reason to understand that the autism generation is growing up.. and when they do, will they have the chance that others did? Or will they be tossed aside by a society that doesn’t value the gifts they have?

This is a big story.. 1 in 3 is a lot. Just as 1 in 88 is, too.

Just when you thought the only thing to fear in December 2012 was the end of the Mayan calender and subsequent apocalypses, enter into the news fray this item of importance: Ben Bernanke is warning the nation of impending doom. A ‘fiscal cliff’ .. coming in January 2013…right as the new years eve ball (hopefully) drops on a nation that is relieved they weren’t destroyed by fire and brimstone.

So is it a relief when Ron Paul predicts that the FED will self destruct…?

Not at all, I suppose. The cliff just gets more steep..

…they are hiring, right?

I mean.. he says they are.. So an engineer shouldn’t have trouble landing the next gig, right?

The economic free fall beginning? The crisis of the EURO currency here? S&P give the gift of downgrade to nine nations..  and talks broke down between Greece and its creditors over a debt swap seen as crucial to avert a Greek default, although officials said more talks are likely next week..

Friday the 13th.. Just a figment of imagination? Tell that to the euro zone..

….hope you pause longer than you would normally and look carefully in the mirror.. 

BOEING To Lay Off More Than 2,100 Workers At Wichita Plant…

KODAK Preparing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy…

Oil soars close to 8-month highs on Iran tensions…

Ugh.. The world.

Which means lots of job openings will exist for people, perhaps, without a Facebook.

Things in your neck of the woods.. or sand of the desert.. don’t appear to be too well. Underwater actually if you’re talking real estate.. 

Vegas News 8 has a great series running on the situation..

In the case of the mortgage meltdown, the fact it happened in Vegas didn’t make it only stay there..

No really.. Store Santas are being taught in class how to judge a parent’s income before the kid sits on his lap..

X Box for Christmas!? How about a Slinky!

Nothing like dashing the hopes of kids.. Hey Santa, you are in the 99% too!!
