As long as we’re being apocalyptic:
And the Chinese may not stop with Taiwan.

As always with polls, I find the available choices too circumscribed for my opinions. :innocent: What is the ‘worst’? From answer 1, it would seem poll means the equities market (ie the much-sought ‘stock market bottom’)—equities markets are supposed to anticipate the actual economy (by about six months?), so we should see unemployment and other real-world economic activity begin to recover in the autumn?
Financially, we went from a liquidity crisis (perhaps in its most acute form in September-October) to a solvency crisis (everyone afraid of the bogeyman and his toxic assets on bank balance sheets). Meanwhile the actual economy plunged into recession (from what? lack of liquidity? fear and retrenchment?). As long as employment continues to deteriorate, it’s difficult to see consumer spending picking up. Will the stimulus make up the difference? For how long?
My fear is the unlisted answer: not the end of Western civilisation but something like Japan’s ‘lost decade’. The worst may be limited to 2008-9, but it might not get much better for a long while.

Black Swan Counter: 9 (Banks need money, Jobs needs a break, Geithner has no plan, Cuomo’s grandstanding, .Gov needs a hobby, GS works for money, flash crash, is that bubbling crude?).
For those who look, a flash allows one to see farther.

Unfortunately, the oceans will be too acidic for there to be any plankton to make “Soylent Green” out of, so there may instead be a population crash to maybe 1% of current levels during the next 2 generations.

I think that Eric may have been referring to the 1973 Sci-Fi movie.

So “Soylent Green” and “Logan’s Run” have the same basic story line? I’m not worried about becoming part of the menu, I’ve already exceeded my expiration date.
