Will the global economy implode in 2016?

My private security guards will shoot the paupers
We'll be good or at least coast along

As a transplant from the NYC-area to Buffalo, I can honestly say that the stock downturns have no real consequences to our put-putting economic engine... but that's because Buffalo has been economically depressed since the first Great Depression. :v:

In all seriousness, America will probably come out on top of this one sitting pretty. Everyone who lost their jobs and money in the last bubble haven't gone back to building in the "flood zone", as it were. I would wager to say that, save for the oil industry, Americans haven't anywhere to go but up - if only because they've already hit rock bottom. To expand on this, I see less idiots getting into sub-prime debt obligations - nobody doubles down on that poo poo just 'cause anymore. Those who have, well, they obviously can't learn from the past.

My suggestion to you, SA, is to move to a place where they're about to start manufacturing some sweet high-tech poo poo (big ups to Our Benevolent Oligarchs, Elon Musk and Terry Pegula).

I work in the Oil Services industry and I'm shocked I still have a job.

I'll probably be making GBS threads unicorn eggs if I still have the same job by this time next year (unless we glass the middle east or something).

And lo, a new neoconservative is born. Arabia delenda est.
