Move over Sarah Palin. Get out of the way Fox News. The new moron is Alanna Petroff – of CNN Money – who is sounding the alarm. Old people are bad for the economy. Everyone should die young to protect investors. Watch out for the plague of super aged countries. She even has a map showing where these evil countries are and how it’s spreading!

Here is what Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said: Dvorak's writing sings with insight and clarity. Whether or not you agree with John's views, he will get you thinking and is never boring. These essays are worth the read!

Actually, that title probably belongs to you (feel free to substitute blogger for reporter), as the article you link to doesn’t say the least bit what you say it does. Way to troll!
It’s true that as countries have aging populations, there won’t be enough young workers to support them with essential services. Being US-centric, I think of Social Security and Medicare.
Moron.
Click on the picture dumbass.
Thankfully, it seems like Alana Petroff is just reporting on an article penned by Elena Duggar and Madhavi Bokil on Moody’s.
Regarding Alana Petroff as a moron for letting people know what someone else has done/said?
On any day, that would make Mr. Perkel her accomplice.
Lest I’m missing something, I fail to feel outrage about that article.
Last sentence added just to complete descriptive acronym.
No he got it right. The article doesn’t say what you claim. ‘People should die young’ It’s that not enough young are born.
Without ANY investigation, (you know, the stuff reporters are PAID to do?) we still don’t know what the numbers of any younger workers are (aka [also known as] “taxpayers”). I suppose someone might like to ask some bureau of bullshit facts somewhere. Perhaps somewhere like the bureau of labor statistics, the internal revenue service, or even a Congressional office, but this idiot (Petroff) didn’t even LOOK!
The “problem” in this idiot’s (Petroff) story seems to be one of PROPORTION! And proportion is indeed a mathematical concept I mistakenly assumed someone like a PROFESSIONAL MONEY REPORTER (who I also would have assumed took some MATH COURSES somewhere) might already KNOW. But you can be sure, I won’t make that mistake again. At least with CNN I won’t.
Personally, I want to know who the EDITOR this idiot Petroff works for and why that person allowed Ms. Petroff to even file this load of crap. It’s a real life embodiment story of “the sky is falling” kind of crap since it’s so clearly one sided. Not only should Ms. Petroff be fired for this PROPAGANDA but her editor should be kicked out too.
(Psssst! It’s called “critical thinking” in case you youngsters aren’t being taught that skill either.)
Sometimes, I think bobbo is ignoring me because he thinks nothing is wrong with Mr. Diesel. Is it because of GMO dandelions?
“”you know, the stuff reporters are PAID to do?
You know — the difference between reporters and journalists?? <–{emphisis added by me}
… the difference between Elon and inventors…
…Between atmospheric physisists and that live-at-five guy with the umbrella nobody else can see telling you about heavier than usual dew twenty years hence??
we’re most dreadfully embarrased. Of course, we meant ‘our’ climatologist/weather spokeshole — We’re sorry, Ted, but that invisible kid should not have been playing out in the rain
– damn conscience…
What we meant to say is that a tropical storm is brewing and a militarized police state needs to tell 4-tits’ friend to not play in the rain.
Not sure why you are so focused on the messenger when (if you have beef with the thesis of the article) you could have criticized the original report’s authors themselves. All I see in the CNN article is just a summary of the press release that summarizes the full report. I do agree that CNN Money is just…lol financial news analysis from them?

^^ I think this. She’s very pretty, after all. She did good research on the issue of aging populations by region — even noting the data was not availible for much of Africa {I can’t see anybody there either}. Others will cite it for whatever.
Besides, she likes Pork ‘n’ Seaweed donuts.
Finally! Something we can use… It’s $17 a segment and, for a little extra, we’ll let you smoke this spliff and drive through the front window ok??
See you tuesday, xo xo xo. đ

You know, CNN — That would have been funny if you were talking about Perkle.
it’s why the dinosuar media arrests people for drawing about shooting them…
1. How is she stupid?
2. What is she saying that is untrue?
3. I didn’t see anything that suggested people should die young to protect the economy. In fact, that is FUCKED UP as its the old that should die==not the young. Stupid.
4. Having maps to visual present data is a good technique.
I take it the Church of Reality denies the Heresy of Macro Economics?
Marc===where are all your good buds? Am I missing any National Holidays? ((I hate it when I work thru the day thinking everyone else is sick……..))
While you’re right and Perkel is wrong, you misunderstood what he said, causing your own stupidity where you label him stupid.
NFS–seriously…how can I be “right” and not understand what Marc is saying?
IOW–what do you think Marc is saying that I don’t understand?
Just curious, as you must be thinking of “something?”
Yup. It’s called reading comprehension. I’ve already told you the answer. Now THINK. Just look.
She’s an IDIOT for presenting ONE SIDED FACTS and then drawing conclusions from HER OWN SHIT!!!
Can I make it any more simple for you?
If you want a SLIGHTLY more in-depth analysis, you might want to apply some critical thinking here and possibly look at population PROPORTIONS! But don’t go hurting yourself or anything. It’s pretty clear you don’t have enough trained (educated) functioning gray matter.

Sheâs an IDIOT for presenting ONE SIDED FACTS and then drawing conclusions from HER OWN SHIT!!! //// Sounds like what I recall from a quick watch==that she simply reported what her source said? Just the facts, no analysis. Thats what most people say they want? At least you gave a reason why she might be stupid, your comment simply doesn’t address that issue though.
Can I make it any more simple for you? // No, its quite appropriate.
If you want a SLIGHTLY more in-depth analysis, you might want to apply some critical thinking here and possibly look at population PROPORTIONS! /// Ha, ha==how is that not exactly what is being reported on? Too many old, not enough young? Thats proportions isn’t it?
But donât go hurting yourself or anything. Itâs pretty clear you donât have enough trained (educated) functioning gray matter. /// You have not established that.
1. How is she stupid? /// Not addressed.
2. What is she saying that is untrue? // Not addressed.
Try again.

The death panels that ARE in Obama Care, /// You Lie!

Its a consequence of killing off unborn children, that the ratio of old to young is skewed. /// No, its more the living into advanced age cohort, although it is a affected by both factors, so I can’t fault your stupidity too harshly.
But you wonât hear stopping abortion offered as a fix, /// Because that has its own set of additional problems.
rather they refuse health care to more and more seniors, so more die. /// and yet Obama Care is providing coverage to 20 Million who didn’t have it before. Just the opposite of your position.
As Obama said during the campaign, give Grandma a pill. /// Link.
Those of you dependent upon Government will be the first to go. /// Hows that? Got any dots?
And given the rational for abortion applies double to the elderly, /// You mean the elderly’s mothers don’t want to go to full term? You aren’t making any sense at all. FOR GRINS: connect the driving force for abortions with whatever it is you fantasize applies double to the elderly? What is it? A bigger pile of shit brains?
most of you will be reaping what you have sown. /// How? We are going to be aborted, or something will be doubly applied to us?
Thatâs just. Fair, the right thing to happen. /// What a dolt.

Alfie==these are the same death panels that are causing too many old people to be around. You see==when you lie about EVERYTHING==your lies conflict with one another. If you weren’t a dumb ass ditto head you’d pick a “single theme” and make sure your lies all lined up. But you are too stupid to do that.

Your God has overlooked a few million souls he could be torturing for no good reason. Faces? Ha, ha. Yes, I suppose a few. Do aborted fetuses have anything to say, or are they more like you?
we like to tie people down for a few days and let fruit flies ‘accidentally’ lay eggs up inside their brain… We call it *maggoting* and it is much more humane than a militarized police force saying “we think you downloaded The Expendables III and we’re here to help you understand why you need to tell us about your neighbor”…

Something to contemplate..
1.Social sec was setup for retirement when the CHANCE of getting to Old age was <40%
2.There is this funny economics that believes that Taxes and Costs should make people Struggle to make ends meet..
3.We have installed, so many laws to protect idiots from themselves, that Corps can be Sued over, that we dont kill off 2/3 of the idiots before retirement.
4,. our health care is advanced enough that we can almost resurrect the Dead..but at a cost that would Indebted most kings..
The Life style of 1/2 the people in the USA is at the point of being SLAVE LABOR. forget CHINA and Jails forcing labor.. in the USA, we indebit you and FORCE you to make ends meet, most of your life..
We make it so 1 person cant Bring home enough money for a family, let alone afford a HOME big enough for a family..then SCREAM that there are not enough JOBS..
PS,
how many places could a person RETIRE and make themselves Self-sufficient??
WHO can afford to retire on min wage MOSt of their lives?
I see the vitamine E has healed your keyboard… The only biblically-accepted protocol for healing the keyboard is prayer and herbs…

I’ve had this lifelong hatred of hotel policies to want to come in and change your bed sheets {plant dead hookers?} every dang day — especially when staying for extended periods of time;

Then you can see it. It’s either a mirror or a reflection off one of those fireplace inserts… it looks like a painting and the sudden displacement is exactly up/down … looks to be about 12 inches but that may be optical lever effect.
