San Francisco to Suck in 2009

recessioneconomysanfrancisco.jpg

Awful news, everyone! Most Bay Area executives believe that the economy will get worse through 2009. But wait, it gets worse! The Bay Area Council surveyed 509 executives, and the results show that "four out of ten companies plan to cut jobs within six months." What's more, 41 percent of the fat cats also suspect that "the economy will get worse for the next 18 months to three years," predicting economic misfortune going well into the next decade. And while home prices have dramatically plunged across the Bay Area, forecasts like this might mean most of you wading in the middle-class pool won't be able to pay a mortgage anytime soon. In related news, you now need to register in order to post an 'erotic services' ad on Craigslist, and the cocaine retail biz is still a seller's market.

In an unrelated note, didn't you guys see that 13 feet of rainforest are destroyed for every gram of cocaine snorted? Stop snorting all our oxygen, you guys.

However moving to Columbia and working as a coca plant cultivator might be the safest career choice these days.

In an unrelated note, didn't you guys see that everytime you masterbate a kitten dies? Stop masterbating all our kitties away, you guys.

I thought I read that scientists now think "the act" is actually killing the honey bees.

If this turns out to be true, there will likely be a glut of rental units by 2010.

Dolores park will be packed during the week by summer!

You may be able to stroll into an available rental unit/"open house" and not feel rushed to sign your next year away so quickly, but that's probably all.

Wait, because they're being rented by kittens!?

@what.

Yes, but they will all look this by the time we've killed them all.

Uh, shouldn't that read San Francisco to CONTINUE TO suck in 2009?
