What makes you think there is a way out of this recession?

You haven't heard the normalcy theory, have you? That's the idea
that the economy of the last couple decades has been artificially
inflated by cheap and easy credit, and what we're going through now
is a return to normal. Even once the recession ends, we'll have
higher unemployment rates and lower growth.

But you admit (above) that the recession will end.

Yes, condescendingly agree with him, that's the ticket!

We haven't returned, since 1968, to the kind of low unemployment rates
that existed prior to 1968.
Of course, the recession might end, since a recession is identified as
so many consecutive quarters of decreased output, so if the economy
performs badly, but gets slightly better, that would be enough to say
that it ended.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s, and the boom of the 1920s, followed
world wars. Today, we have nuclear weapons, so a major world war
wouldn't leave much of an economy left. Of course, new scientific
discoveries can increase production as well, but things like food and
housing depend on relatively mature technologies.
We aren't moving, at this time, quickly towards space colonization to
harness vast new resources that way.

So you're booing some other group now?

It should be easy to killfile on "OT". For google groups, I think you
can get some kind of add-in that acts like a killfile.

Now THAT is a valuable bit of info, and valuable info is what I come
here for. Will 'killfile' get rid of these recession topics, and if so
then how can I do this?

I'm not a google groups user, so all I can help with is "there is an
answer". It might require using firefox and some add-ins. Either
way, knowing that "there is an answer" is useful.
I use a non-web-based usenet reader program, where killfiles are
designed in from the beginning.
With a killfile, you specify a formula based on elements of the author
or title or article length or sother features of the article and the
program arranges things so that you never see the articles with the
features you don't want to see. Like a title containing the word
"recession".

He's on Google Groups. Someone who actually knows how, will have to
show him how to do that. It's not as simple as with a specialized
program.
