A bad economy may actually be good for your health.
âIt turns out there's actually now quite a long line of research showing that when economic times are bad people are actually physically healthier,â said Christopher Ruhm, a professor at the University of Virginia who wrote the 50-page report, âHealth Effects of Economic Crises.â

Bull sh*t!!!!
Who knew increased levels of smoking, alcohol and depression were healthy?
“Despite what one might think, it is actually a good thing to worry constantly about bankruptcy or whether your car might be repossessed. Hail the Imperium!” The MSM
They can spin better anything. they are good at it. But, still unbelievable.
The idiots at Yahoo never stop pimping their favorite communists.
(hint) If the economy is bad, why would anybody vote for a third term of Obama through Hillary?
reminds me of fun-employment stories.

OIL ALONE WILL DESTROY âTHE POWERS THAT BEâ
...”deflation is unquestionably ravaging the corporate landscape - as 15 years of Washington money printing; combined with disastrous banking deregulation and the proliferation of world-destroying “financial engineering”; has created an oversupply of industrial commodities, corporate infrastructure, and financial assets unlike anything the world has ever seen. Cumulatively, the impact has already been catastrophic for the vast majority of the worldâs population; and sadly, on both fronts, the ugliness is just getting started - politically, economically, and socially.
Which is why, more than ever, governments â East and West â have resorted to 24/7 financial market manipulation to âmaskâ policy failures, and create an impression of control. Which is why, on a day when we just learned that physical gold withdrawals from the Shanghai gold exchange alone were nearly as much as the entirety of 2015 worldwide production, the Cartel did this at exactly the 8:20 AM EST open of the COMEX paper exchange â which barely houses enough physical gold to service current contractual demands. And this, amidst a litany of violently gold-bullish news, with not a single other market materially budging. Go on, take a gander; let alone, at yesterdayâs chart pattern â identical to both todayâs, and hundreds of others.”

Yeah, being poor, you may eat less.
You may drive less, thus reducing your carbon footprint.
You may buy less, which means less consumables and waste to throw out.
Lbs are such idiots. And hypocrites. They sure didn’t spin economic negatives into positives when Bush was in office.
Obesity rates in North Korea are the lowest in the world, and the great leader himself takes on the burden of being fat for the entire nation!
Obama needs to start gaining weight.
Here is another from Yahoo. They are basically New Age Pravda:

One would have to wonder if these same idiots would be writing this crap if there was a republican occupying the White House? I think not!
Funemployment!
What a crock, personally, I’m STRESSED OUT about how to get by month-to-month! And last I checked that’s not exactly healthy.
Ever notice that the uber rich uber elites are living close to 100 routinely?
Meanwhile, Pediatric cancer is exploding, diabetes is ravaging the AA and Hispanic population. Antibiotic resistant microbes are proliferating. I doubt that life expentacy will increase for the peasants in this generation.
+1
bad economy and reasoned concern over same produces personal and social stress
stress may not be all that Healthy!
Party like it’s Orwell’s 1984
