I hope people are taking notice that we just had the biggest bankruptcy in US history and that almost everyone is forecasting the difficulties to continue or even get worse. (Of course if the Dow gains a couple hundred points in the next few days they'll probably say everything is fine again.)

Today the DOW is down another 450 points. I feel bad for all the working class people who are getting screwed by this. But maybe as people learn how much of a flimsy pyramid scheme this economy really is, we can actually move towards something more sane...
Gold had the biggest 1 day gain ever
