Before I start to speak, I’d like to say something: the economy is in dire state. Of course it has been so for quite some time, but now it is really in a pickle. In fact, no amount of vinegar or brine is going to ameliorate the economy in the near future. However, with the help of economists, we can surely overcome this. Since I am not an expert in the field of economics, I asked an economist. Haha! Just kidding. After all, economists themselves do not know what they are doing. So I turned to the place where we get all our knowledge from, the television. After watching a talk show where economic analysts discussed the plight of the nation, my understanding surely deepened. Here is the dialogue between the panel:
HOST: Thank you for tuning in to tonight’s heated debate. Tonight we have an exclusive on what is going on inside Wall Street and how you can manage your stocks for maximum profits. We will start with Beaver, the janitor at the New York Stock Exchange Building. Beaver, give us some “inside scoop”.
BEAVER: Well, when I was cleaning a bathroom stall, a man came in while talking on his cell phone. He was saying something about how Hiro Nakamara stops time to save his friend- uh whaddyacallhim- Ando! Yes, and that he has a slight hunch that they can save New York City from Peter’s explosion.
HOST: Isn’t that last night’s episode of Heroes? Anyways, lets move on to Patricia, a stockbroker. So what do you say, Pat? Does the future look good?
PATRICIA: *franticly shaking a Magic-8 Ball*
As you can see, the future of the nation is unpredictable, even for those who have sat through seven years of higher education. I am going to go check my horoscope now.
