The OTHER Economic Indicators, Part II

Once again , as a public service, we present, in these trying times---in fact there's people being tried all over Wall Street--- the other economic indicators of the growing recession/depression that Lou Dobbs and other financial smarty-pants overlook or won't talk about:

*** Jay Leno is tanking, along with the rest of NBC---the Peacock just filed for unemployment.
Commercial TV networks have loaded its schedules with low-budget but decent-revenue garnering reality show drek and courtroom programs.
At last count there were 12---count'em twelve daytime court shows. That is about to become a baker's dozen , as a Judge Baker Show is slated to begin Monday.
Soap Operas are beginning to fail, as the average viewer no longer has the intellect to follow their Ibsenian complexity.

*** Starving ministers are telling their flocks, "Give ME this day your daily bread!!"

*** Larry the Cable Guy's outfit is coming to be regarded as smart, sophisticared attire.

*** Having to let writers go, Jeopardy now has only three categories each round, plus, no more Double Jeopardy.

*** Many libraries across the country are beginning to charge $5/day for overdue books.

*** Fast food places are trying to entice customers with items such as The Four-Pounder Facsimile Beef Extra Cheese & Bacon Combo---with free fibrillators.

*** The more exotic, haut cuisine sounding flavors of dog and cat food have been flying off the shelves.

*** Only about 6% of all college students are taking a Humanities curriculum-the rest are enrolled in courses like Business Management, Managerial Business, Principles of Business Swindling, Ass-Kissing for Lower Management, Upper Management House and Mistress Acquisitions, Business Poetry. Commercial Meditation and Successful Conscience Eradication

*** There's a new chain of Pot Luck Restaurants who hire only inexperienced chefs and waitresses.

*** Get Rich-Quick Scheme initiators are getting rich quick!
Relatedly, people are still making convicted scam artist Kevin Trudeau rich!
