OURYEAR#56 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Originally posted by Kilmer17 what kind of jobs were lost to begin with? unrealistic ones. If those jobs were still around, my Pets.com stock would be worth billions. They werent real. They were based on a bubble that burst because it had no foundation. Once again I have to say the jobs were real, but the stocks were inflated. Are there computer technicians, web designers, programmers, yes. How are those jobs not real?

Kilmer17 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Because they hired 10 guys to do the job of one anticipating that the businesses would grow that fast. They didnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are those jobs not real? yes and i am one of them but OY they had 10 to 12 people doing the same job!! that is the issue here, the companies wanted to hire like crazy so they can say they had a big company the other thing is does a webmaster deserve to make more then some professionals?? i don't know but some were making like 90K and that is just plain crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashback Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Keep drinkin' that Kool-Aid, guys. If you want to remember the Dow at 10K as an apex, that's fine.:koolaid: If you say that wages are realistic now, but were unrealistic 4 years, good luck with that. :koolaid: Iraq and Al-Qaida are closely interconnected. :koolaid: Hey, this stuff is delicious! Saddam Hussien was an imminent threat. :koolaid: President Bush would never lie to the American people. :koolaid: John Kerry will put our military under the command of the UN. ::koolaid: A $500,000,000,000 deficit is no big deal. :koolaid: In a way, I'm a little jealous. I wish I could stick my fingers in my ears and go "la-la-la-la-la" and not see any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I laugh at those. Not just because they are funny (which they are), but also the irony of who the richest men in Congress are at this time. 9 or the top 10 are Dems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Originally posted by Bufford I know, I know. Klin-ton. how about It wasn't all Clinton's fault, it was everyone's. Us for believing it was real and would last. The government for letting companies do what they did. Banks for giving money out to kids out of school with NO BUSINESS PLAN :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 a lot of blame to share. I guess I lucked out and cashed out a ton in 98-99. Got a nice Jeep and had a down payment for my condo. God Bless America :wavetowel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
