The Wall Street rescue

[blessed]

The $700bn rescue of the American economy - what does this actually mean to the average US taxpayer? I can see why there should be deep deep resentment at public money being used to bail out immoral bankers, but how will it actually affect Joe Public.

By the way, the End of the World was predicted a few years ago to start off with the collapse of the US economy at the end of 2008 (year specifically mentioned)

Good eh?

Not being a US taxpayer, I have no idea.
Who's this Joe Public? Is he a member of this site?

2 scenarios
1. i have been buying loads of shares and i will make loads of money because shares will climb back within a few years

2. shares keep falling like a stone, collapse of the US economy which will lead to WW3 so then i would not give a flying............................ about my shares

Yes, but what ACTUALLY HAPPENS????

Shares go up and down all the time, but what is going to happen in real time in real life to John Doe? To USA, to the world. Does life stop, do the troops get withdrawn from Iraq - WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS over and above a large number?????????

lol i don't think john doe will give a flying really
niether will his sister jane doe ffs

[sir.knobby]

So this john doe then was he related to dow jones then and did dow go to johns funerall if so the john doe could not have been a doe.

Was he a deer but not a female deer?
God I'm knackered now after that.

Ah yea I know but the first one was also said by peter sallis in hitchikers galaxy to the galaxy as well when arthur dent realised that the earth was just about to be demolished to make way for a new hyper-space by-pass.

I think.
