Inflation during a recession?

Trivia question for you - how long has it been since Australia had a recession? (Hint: before some of our newhires were born)

In order for dominos doom and gloom to come to fruition economic activity would have to come to a complete and screaming halt right now, and then swing negative, for the next six months. If we stop hiring for any length of time then there are bigger problems. With the looming retirement numbers any lengthy pause will dig them in such a manning hole it may not be possible to get out of it. |

Like the housing market stocks can only go up right??? Nothing to do with this being the longest bull market and tech stocks being a hair over priced for a while right? Couldn't be that. A normal healthy correction. It must be the LIBERAL MEDIA! I read an interesting study a couple of years ago about a program trading off of Twitter sentiment. It would categorize twitter posts as either positive or negative and then trade based on that sentiment. |

I guess everything you do with your partner is done dutch? I’m sorry I won’t combine my finances and property with a woman. That’s not commitment issues, that’s just wise. I watch too many people get cleaned out by women. I know one SFO guy right now getting wiped out for 500k+. My TK instructor got taken for over a million. That’s just two quick examples. There’s many more. No thanks. I’m not going to risk it. You can still have a relationship and not combine everything. Marriage is NOT required. Your argument though is almost identical to the argument women use!!! |

Just because you’ve stopped looking or never really did doesn’t mean they are rare. In your bubble that may be true but I’m personally surrounded by couples in very strong marriages. They aren’t perfect individuals but they are committed to each other beyond an informal verbal agreement. I’ve not once said what you’ve chosen for your life is wrong. I just don’t agree that stating “don’t get married, don’t have kids” is sound advice for everyone. What you see as wise, I see as simple risk-aversion not wisdom. |

In certain respects, he's correct that it's the media that can trigger stock market moves. Most of the trading today is done by computers and one of the inputs they use is newsfeed. They react off of key words in the news, causing the automated programs to either buy or sell.

I'm sorry, but I have to take Ihateyou's side on marriage.
Just look at the divorce rate. 60% or so last I checked, give or take. 60% odds of one's marriage failing. And for 2nd and 3rd marriages, its even grimmer with it being as high as 75%:mad: And I haven't even mentioned the overwhelming odds that even regional CA's (let alone those at the majors) will earn significantly more than their spouse, tilting the tables against them to an even greater extent in divorce court. If I had a burning desire to get married, I'd gravitate towards professional women in stable careers who make salaries on par with guys at the majors or more. I do NOT want a woman I can "provide for", I want one who is an equal partner in crime with me. YMMV |
Reading a lot of this marriage talk with great amusement. Used to fly with the twice, thrice plus married guys all the time espousing how wife #1 was a c**t, wife #2 a bi**h and wife #3 a greedy mother******er, ect, ect.
By the end of such trips I'd easily figured out where the problem had lain with and it wasn't with the c**t, the bi**h or the greedy mother******er.:rolleyes: News Flash: We, as a group, aren't all Prince Charming's being wronged by hordes of scheming damsels in distress. |

Not saying men aren't part of the problem in a bad marriage. I simply am saying marriage is expensive and divorce is even more expensive. Nothing more boys...nothing more. So all you guys who have had their balls chopped off and put in your wife's purse that are defending marriage, spare me....I'm simply talking about the cost. Not who's right or who's wrong in the courtship. Not getting married guarantees NO bank breaking divorce. |

No matter what the economy does, the airlines HAVE TO retire 75% of their seniority lists over the next 10-15yrs I believe.... mandatory retirements won't change, so hiring will have to happen to fill seats. Worst case scenario is profit sharing will take a hit, whoever has it. Just my 2 cents...

And the law is geared toward the women in the divorce. Just because a few guys here and there have a good marriage doesn't mean at all that it's for everyone. That's like saying in a room full of people only two don't have HIV so go dive in and have sex.

It’s probably not a stretch to assume you weren’t raised in a stable household if one at all? |

I’m having a hard time following the logic here. |
All you doom and glommers with horrible wives;,
I’d be interested in renting them for a short while, along with your boat and private plane. ::p |
Don't marry a woman who makes less than you, problem solved.

Great close nit family. Dad successful. Mom too. Sister as well. I'm sorry that your balls got cut off and that because I'm against modern marriage you assume I'm a broken human being. Statistics speak for themselves. Don't be mad because I choose to not be married!!! Great logic. Someone is against marriage thus they are from a broken home! Once again, just saying it's expensive. Nothing more. Stop trying to make it more than it is!! |

Statistics speak for themselves. Don't be mad because I choose to not be married!!! You know you’re not endearing anyone to your opinion by using these classless attacks, right? I’ve never said you were broken or even wrong about your viewpoint. My balls are just fine. Thanks for your concern. Contrary to your beliefs, you don’t have to surrender them when you get married. One thing I will agree with you on is your desire not to reproduce. Probably best that you not. |

Oh and thanks for the non reproducing comment too, professor. One thing I will agree with you on is your desire not to reproduce. Probably best that you not. I don't care if people get married. I'm simply saying it's expensive. And Divorce is even more expensive. My original post was to the OP about his concern about being a new hire and worried about the future. I suggest stay single as a way to save money. And then all the Jerry Maguire's, including you, come out of the wood work attacking me for my view point on marriage. Don't be mad because I think marriage is expensive. How stupid is that??? |

It wasn’t a statement of assumption it was a question. Did you not see the “?” at the end? Have you told your dad to his face he surrendered his balls for 49 years? If so, how did he take it? I’ve not attacked you. I’m defending marriage because you’ve made it all about money. I don’t worship at the altar of money and believe there’s a lot more to life than how you’re trying to sell it. In the end, you’re attacking an institution you know nothing about. |
