Well, hello there and thanks for surfing my wave!
So you know what gets my goat, what really irks me and sends me reeling down unemployment alley?
Absolute idiots that call themselves “global economists” and these so-called pundits and advisors dictating and forecasting policies, upticks and downturns based on very cryptic analysis of the figures, which themselves have a vast margin of interpretation. The latest news out reflects on statistics sourced from some Federal Reserve document called “The Beige Book”; some anecdotal survey of regional economic conditions that, simply put is a barometer. It’s widely known that if you take your temperature a dozen times over the course of 20-30 minutes, you’ll most likely get 8-10 different readings. Which one’s the most accurate? Just like the weather or any other fluid measurement or indicator, it’s all relative – so what’s the point?
The dolts that come up with these determinations that impact millions based on pressures from on high without confirming the data and are paid egregious sums of money are completely out of touch with reality. They have a job, probably never knew or will know what it’s like to be without one, and if they were to become jobless, have so much money socked away due to their inflated paychecks, they wouldn’t give a hoot. And the wheel goes ‘round and ‘round.
There is NO economic recovery. Not in my life, currently, and clearly not in the State of California where they are now robbing from our future to pay for past transgressions caused by so few that effect the second largest economy only trumped by the Federal Government. Does anybody care? Lobbyists, Looters and Legislators doing what’s best for them at the expense of the constituents that put them into office. How and when will all this nonsense, nomenclature and non-productive garbage be put into the disposal for good?
I’ve had it; I’m sick and tired of people shoving information down my throat telling me I should be witnessing financial bliss soon because of what limited recourses have told them. Do you want to know when they’ll be an economic recovery? Now granted I don’t have a first-rate network, but mine does encompass a wide array of industry, income levels, ages and backgrounds that all point to highly negative indicators. Even second and third tiered folks in my network (Think LinkedIn) are having a rough go at it. Yes, people I know and they know are getting back to work – great! It’s about time, but for people who are so far removed from the average citizen’s circumstances to make broad-sweeping predictions concerning anything is punishable and lacks sound and reasonable judgment. Is it not these very people and situations that got California into this vise grip to begin with? Can’t this viscous circle stop? I would say the economic recovery will start when I can personally see at least thirty percent of my world back to work rather than the current ten. That’s just my opinion which is all the other hoopla should be as well.
I know nothing about beige books, but I can tell you all my books are hemorrhaging very deep, throbbing and sustained shades of red right now, and I see no signs of this bloodletting stopping anytime soon.

You need to chill. Yes, there are definite signs that the recession is ending. And yes, it will take a year or more to put people back to work. It’s obvious you are misunderstanding what economists are saying. That’s unfortunate. I also have no clue as to what this website is to accomplish
