Another MetalFilter discussion, some interviews with author Robert Prechter, who thinks there's going to be a big ol' deflationary depression. On the one hand, he's been thinking this for a while, on the other hand, he claims he's trying to time something that's part of a 200 year pattern, so being off by even a decade might not be that big of a deal. Oy.
Medium News of the Moment

Good News of the Moment
Ok, not really news, but after all that I think we need breakdancing guys in big animal suits.
