There seems to be a humor shortage right now, but it was no hill for a stepper. I think everyone got it, good and hard-they just don't know it yet.
As is always the case.

I found a few definitions of depression and actually a few fit. The 25% unemployment is the peak of unemployment for the "Great Depression" but I don't think anyone has a number associated with a general depression. One indicator is said to be a GDP of greater than a 10% decline. One factoid that I recently discovered was that all periods of economic declines prior to the 1930's were referred to as depressions.
Cheers!
- a mental state characterized by a pessimistic sense of inadequacy and a despondent lack of activity
- a long-term economic state characterized by unemployment and low prices and low levels of trade and investment
- natural depression: a sunken or depressed geological formation
- sad feelings of gloom and inadequacy
- a period during the 1930s when there was a worldwide economic depression and mass unemployment
- low: an air mass of lower pressure; often brings precipitation; "a low moved in over night bringing sleet and snow"
- depressive disorder: a state of depression and anhedonia so severe as to require clinical intervention
- a concavity in a surface produced by pressing; "he left the impression of his fingers in the soft mud"
- angular distance below the horizon (especially of a celestial object)
- pushing down; "depression of the space bar on the typewriter"
Cheers!

If true, maybe Continental can offer a solution to our "over-manning" problem too?

"Anbody hear about the possible 300 captains wanting to leave due to the A-fund and the lump sum going away?"

So... an under-educated, over-priviliged rootin' tootin' cowboy gets invited to your house (for eight years) and manages to light it on fire for you before going home... you call the fire department to put it out and then blame the fire department for the water damage to your house. Makes sense.

Hey sport, if you think there is a dimes worth of difference amongst any of these buffoons, I have some land to sell you.

slightly off topic...
Don't despair guys. I know of a man who immigrated to the US from Kenya as a child and despite having a zero balance in his debit account just seven short years ago and never in his life holding a nine to five job, he has managed to gain employment in a very high executive position. He is many times a millionaire now and even has several private jets.
