What would be the best indicator to you (at street level) that we are or are not now in a recession?
For me the recession is indicated by the fact that there are two empty houses sitting on either side of me. Both were abandoned and released by the mortgagee for short sale. Both owners were able to get into cheaper homes that were in the unsold inventory of builders with deep pockets and were willing to carry the paper. There was simple qualifying and no gouging at the moment.

9 AnswersImmigration1 decade agoShould Answerers with particularly partisan content with their questions be IM or email anonymous?
The is now an upsurge of Answerers who have taken on screen names and have posted avatars that are very partisan.
One particular poster is very new, has achieved level 2 and is abrasive in tone and content.
By being anonymous, that poster is able to operate in a way that is hardly intelligent , reasonable or responsible.
Should their future Qs or As remain anonymous?
4 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agoCan a democracy or republic survive if there is an avoidance of critical reading and thinking skills?
This is a result of rigor that is missing in the process of education. I have private students with literacy dysfunctions from dyslexia and faulty learning experiences. Some kids have physical glitches. Others are too busy with pop culture and their "careers" to avoid functional illiteracy and poor communication skills.

The Pentagon's Information Operations Roadmap is blunt about the fact that an internet, with the potential for free speech, is in direct opposition to their goals. The internet needs to be dealt with as if it were an enemy "weapons system".
