2. Yes - they are using babies
and cartoon people to convince us that the water is safe now.
Screw 'em

And how about those "reorganize your debt" ads that try to look like news shows.

5. but the credit card companies are beating us openly...
have you noticed that the credit-card companies WANT us to leave them? They're abusing us so blatantly--like
an alcoholic abusing spouse who wants to get kicked out of the house.

The credit-card companies realize that the turnip is out of blood. They've sucked us dry. We were good little consumers
that they bilked for the past 15 years, but now we're unemployed or taking pay cuts or worried about losing our jobs.

We're just no good to them any more. So, they're raising rates to 30 percent and killing us with unfair penalties and $100
fees for just having the card. They want us to cancel those cards.

They realize that the economy is going to go kalbooey. They don't want THEIR card in YOUR hand when the shineola hits
the fan, panic sets in and you realize that you have to run to Walmart and stock up on essentials, cannned goods and bullets.

Everything in this thread--points to the corporations knowing that soon--economy go bye bye.

.... they want to suck the last drops of blood from anyone who has any, and they want to jettison everyone else.

And yes, as the center of ground zero of the new economy they know full well that it is fucked.
