The New Strangeness

Has anyone else picked up just how different and how strange things are getting here on earth. If you go back to 2006 it would be impossible to imagine (because of all the relative success of the 1940s until 2008) everything that has happened since 2008. Though it might be useful to consider most of the strangeness sort of began when Gore Won the popular vote and then Bush was given Florida by the Supreme Court, still what has happened since 2001 and more recently from 2008 would have been considered "Impossible" by almost anyone on earth.

It was reported today that the U.S. economy now has worked it's way back to the same economic level that it had around 2006 into the present. However, I would just like to say that the wealth has moved upward into the top 10 percent of the population and many many people have fallen out of the middle class and into lower classes and many have died or are just really suffering here in the U.S. and around the world. So, instead of having an upwardly mobile society we now have a much more stationary society and downward economically tracking society for many within it.

Also, many young people now have to go abroad to find a job even with a college degree unless they are entrepreneurs. And even entrepreneurs are having a hard time gaining seed capital to start their businesses because of banks being so locked up nationwide in a variety of ways in regard to giving out loans. So, even though there is always microbanking in the U.S. online, still one has to be educated enough to access such tools in regard to starting a business and making it successful here in the U.S. and worldwide.

So, the business climate in the U.S. and around the world tends to resemble more the 1930s and 1940s than it does the 1950s through 1990s or even up through 2006.
