    ...how ****ed are we?


    On a scale ranging from a gentle ball tickling, to full-penetration ass-rape by a herd of elephants without lube.

    I am very open to not working in the US later in life (And am not now).

        What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/
        What can make a nigga wanna loose all faith in/Anything that he can't feel through his chest wit sensation

                Yes, and I still want to do science.

                It might be that I want to do science in Sweden though (it is nicer here).

                I am mostly looking for positions in the US, although I am considering staying in europe (no possibility to stay in Sweden though).

                      That is not a comforting response.

                        Question: Let's ignore the issue of what the original "cause" of the growth slowdown circa 2008 was. What is the reason for the almost unprecedented ongoing weakness in the US economy?

                        Options:

                        1) nominal shocks (aggregate demand)
                        2) rbc (recalculation)
                        3) long-term structural problems (skills mismatch, labor market distortions, regulatory strangling)
                        4) external supply shocks (terms of trade)
