Yesterday, I warned that signs of economic recovery are nothing more than a mirage. Today, I’m freaking out because Robert Reich has got an explanation so simple and so obvious. If the former US Labor Secretary’s analysis is correct, as I believe it is, the economy’s in deeper doo doo than even my worst warnings about it.
I’m sitting outside the auto repair shop waiting for the brake light switch on my aging Toyota Corolla to be fixed. I’m typing on the Nokia N97 smartphonne, on which I also have been reading news. I had blogged that the N97 would get a second chance. The iPhone 3GS is on ice, so to speak. But my N97 experience is topic for another post.
U Cal Berkley prof Robert Reich astutely and concisely sums up the prospects for economic revival in commentary “When Will the Recovery Begin? Never.” I saw it today at Salon, but Robert posted to his blog on July 9.
Ten-minute documentary “RE:Invention” captures some of the spirit I hope to convey here at Oddly Together.
I lost my job on April 30, 2009. While there is demand for the kind of analysis I write about Apple, Microsoft and other technology companies, there isn’t employment I can find. So I am reinventing myself—as the people profiled in “RE:Invention” are trying to do.
