Comcast: What Recession? > No Political Arguments Please

Yes, since the financial industry not being too important, the fact that is just one that is not doing too well is not of concern. Hey, don't let a heart attack stop you, it is just one organ and all the others are doing fine separately.

Yes, this recession is not worse than others. Maybe as it gets worse, we will hear is not at bad as the 1929 one, then as we pass that level, hey we are cool, we survived the 1929 one, so it is not that bad...
I still remember idiotic articles wondering in 2008 if we were really in a recession while most people were struggling.
Does disconnection from reality and short sightedness mean anything in your world ?

Heh, if you think it is no big deal that it is in such shambles makes me wonder if you are in a leadership position ? How's that bonus ? Six figures ? Cool, all's well then !
