...situation is hardly unique as the effects of the nation's economic downturn gather pace amid the ongoing financial turmoil. Twenty-one states have unemployment rates above the national average, with Michigan and Minnesota showing rates near Rhode Island's to make up the top three. Unemployment figures are certain to rise when the bureau releases its next set of figures on Nov. 7. Some economists are predicting that unemployment will go higher than 8% nationwide before the end of the year and continue to climb toward the modern record of 10.8%, seen...

Opponents of the initiative dismiss it a “reckless idea,” but it is much more: Question 1 is a misguided measure that would undermine Massachusetts’ very existence.

...happened, I described the mistakes, and I see all these people explaining it backwards. Let me make another metaphor: you have a hundred people playing Russian roulette, and one of them killed themselves, and economists are theorizing that he killed himself because he held the gun in a certain way. You require something vastly more structural. Let's go back to roots. Let's do real things. Let's have more transparency, fewer complicated products we don't understand. Let's generate economic growth by old traditional ways, let's favor technology companies, let's not favor all this financial...

...video you just don’t get those happy accidents—those instances in which something accidentally does happen, but then you think, wow it looks really cool,” Bergeron said. Sturtevant also pointed out this difference: “There’s a certain look you associate with old film.
