US unemployment rate reaches 7.6%

Go for it, Big Time. Do you really think your impotent anger and idle threats concern me? You'll be back next time you need someone to defend you from the Germans. It's how Europeans roll when dealing with Americans. :lol:

I am not angry. I feel sorry for you.
 
I don't care, thats why I am considering ignoring you. On the other hand I find some of your debating tactics and perspectives poisonous.

I just find it hilarious that you can get this bothered by an observation about a european country when you make far more specious comments about America on a daily basis. The hypocrisy would be astounding if it weren't you or PeteEU I was talking about.

Dont try to anger me..
You cant anger me.

Thats not what I am bothered by at all, its you and the way you "debate". Sorry, I do not know how to make it more clear, just re-read the last few pages a few times, perhaps you will see for yourself what I am talking about...

As of now I am very tired of how this thread is developing...

Yeah it is.. But if you read the trends it will not be very long before the US is above 10%, and that is what is scary. And who knows where it can go from there?

If it's in the cards, it's going to happen.

What does

1) Your bringing it up do for anybody (everyone's already aware of it)

and

2) Anything you've proposed at any time going to do to stop it?

Are you...crying? Because I so did not intend to make you cry.
 
Goobieman has it right. You're simply trolling. That what you post may be factual is irrelevant to whether you are trolling or not.

Your post above simply pats yourself on the back for predicting something and, again, slamming the US relative to Europe.

I have to wonder, though, why do you project that the US unemployment rate will pass EU27 or Eurozone next month?

Eurostat shows the EU27 at 7.4% as of 01/2009 up from 6.8% in 01/2009. The EU15 was pegged at 8.0% as of 01/2009 up from 7.2% in 01/2009. And nothing they are reporting suggests that those rates will be falling and economic conditions appear to be worsening.

Hence, given that there is no reason to conclude that the US rate will exceed the EU27 or EU15, well, it seems you're just, again, slamming the US as opposed to taking a legitimate look at unemployment rates, the unemployment situation within the EU, or anything else.


It doesnt matter why.. There were many reasons.. Then again.. I was right.. Like I was in this whole thread about unemployment.. But then again, ofcourse you people with your pro-US goggles, never could see reality..


http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_PUBLIC/3-01102009-AP/EN/3-01102009-AP-EN.PDF

This documents show EU average, all the countries in the EU, plus Norway, Japan and the US unemployment rates. Newest numbers..

EU27(including east Europe, FYI) = 9.1%
Eurozone 16 = 9.6%
US 9.7%


And its worth mentioning that European rates have increased only moderately, while US rates dramatically.. Something I also predicted and you guys all refuted..


I hate bringing up old threads and prove I am wrong.. It takes a long time.. but then again, is important..

:2wave:
 
JMak and Goobieman are right; you're actually STILL trolling, which is especially confirmed by your new sig:

No, I am not back. I am just here to teeze all the people who wear pro-US goggles and then have "perspectives" on things.
 
JMak and Goobieman are right; you're actually STILL trolling, which is especially confirmed by your new sig:

Appearantly, telling the truth has already teezed you, and the truth teezes a lot of people in the US..

Thats all I want to say about your post and my signature.
 
Welcome back Max. Back from your "adventure"?

Its just too bad for MaxZ the US hasn't collapsed into oblivion like he has prophesied so many times. Watch him contort as he tries to redefine the definition of "collapse" or increase the vagueness of his ever increasing time frame of the US' economic implosion. Or, perhaps in MaxZ's world the US has collapsed but its just the biased media lying to everyone that it hasn't. Its a civil war over here you just don't know it!.:lol::roll:

For all those unfamiliar with MaxZ you should introduce yourself with his anti-American doom-sayer attitude. Then make up your mind for yourself whether his opinion on just about anything regarding politics and economics have merit.

A few of the many examples of the outrageous:

BBC NEWS | Business | US unemployment rate reaches 7.6%

Wow, this is very concerning for the US. Horrible numbers. US unemployment is now higher than EU-27 and passing the Eurozone next month. Considering European unemployment has been hovering about 7% for quite awhile, and US unemployment was only 4% a year ago, the numbers are dramatic.

I actually predicted this to happen several years ago, but then people called me dumb and what not. If you do not believe me, check out my first posts on this forum and my warnings about a worse economy for the US and the UK the coming years, but a relative stable European economy.

Thanks for the grand welcome.. :lol:

The US is in collapse. Collapse comes in many stages and many acts. Its really dreadful to see it all happening so fast.

Yes.. More threads are coming, take it easy.. It just takes a while to dig up old threads and display them.

I dont have that much time, so bare with me patiently over the next weeks when I prove you all wrong and myself right in things we have debated about.

Well, total collapse is something a European would know all about.

And if the US economy takes a another big dip, you'll be eating residue off the bottom of your shoes.

Your country is 100 percent entirely dependent on the US. Hence, your bitterness.

By the way, you're welcome for that whole World War I and World War II thing. I'm sure we'll have to bail your weak ass out again, too.

Don't sweat it! I'll surely wait:)
 
Why do Europeans seem giddy about a collapse of the US or weak dollar or military failures and such? How will they benefit from our failures? They act as though they are evening up some score, like our failures balance out all the good things we did for Europe. Maybe it's just the haters on this forum.

The US needs to collapse to avoid the government being a totalitarian fascist like state that wages war around the world. The US need to return to the constitution and the state imagined in the constitution, apparantly the only way that can or will happen is revolution(unlikely without collapse), or collapse, followed by your country moving to the values of the constitution and a minimalist state.

Unless we realize that our wrong management and ideas about the economy lead to this collapse, and will lead to further decline and collapse, then things will never get better.

My country is 100% dependent on its oil industry. Its one of the richest countries in the world, and depends far more on Europe and China than the US.

The economic collapse on this side of the atlantic is not that bad by the way, unempployment is marginally up, economic activity marginally down, but with the socialism over here most people do not feel the crisis at all. In the US they do, with exploding unemployment and rapid economic decline from all sides, and no safety net.

We all need to rely on a different economic model in the future, capitalism as have been seen the last 50 years is dead, and leading to disaster.
