You know Tanta died yesterday, and all de Dkos migrants is in big, big trouble now. No one left to guide the commentators through the ~~macro~~ meta graphics.

How does it happen that the DOW is currently down 600 pts. and nobody seems to give a rat's be-hind? Why do I think the blase attitude is NOT a good thing?

Re: Hey Drew. (none / 1)

The fact that we're officially in recession will be the top story. The stock market will be secondary, even with such a big fall. A 600-point fall a year ago would've stunned everyone. But it hasn't been way out there for the last couple months.

Hadn't read that one yet, but I'll check it out.

I'd add Barry Ritholtz's Big Picture, Brad DeLong, Krugman (obviously), Atrios (when he does economics), and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.

Gonna be a little tough in a studio with no yard.

Oh, that reminds me: Mr D00M Pr0n, Roubini. (Duh.) Just looking at Roubini's reaction to anything is enough to make you want to grow your own food.

Blogs that make Roubini look cheery: Clusterfuck Nation, The Automatic Earth, and Jesse's Cafe Americain.
Clusterfuck Nation comes out once a week on Monday- I havent had a chance to read today's yet. Yesterday's Automatic Earth tackles how to survive in a long period of deflation. It don't sound to easy-but you're young:-)

If you've got a windowsill, you can be a farmer.

You could also become a guerilla gardener.

<That> might be right down you alley :-))

Ah, guerrilla gardener perhaps, but my windowsills are only about an inch and a half wide.

Keep the guerilla possibilities in mind! Individual, of course, but preferably organized.
