Most Americans still appear to be operating under the delusion that the "recession" will soon pass and that things will get back to "normal" very soon. Unfortunately, that is not anywhere close to the truth. What we are now witnessing are the early stages of the complete and total breakdown of the U.S. economic system. The U.S. government, state governments, local governments, businesses and American consumers have collectively piled up debt that is equivalent to approximately 360 percent of GDP. At no point during the Great Depression (or at any other time during our history) did we ever come close to such a figure. We have piled up the biggest mountain of debt that the world has ever seen, and now that gigantic debt bubble is beginning to pop. As this house of cards comes crashing down, the economic pain is going to become almost unimaginable.
Already, things are really, really, really bad out there. Unemployment is at shockingly high levels. Foreclosures and personal bankruptcies continue to set new all-time records. Businesses are being shut down at a staggering rate, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. government continues to pile up debt at blinding speed.
There is no use sugar-coating it.
The U.S. economy is collapsing.
The following are 40 bizarre statistics that reveal the truth about the collapse of the U.S. economy....
1 - According to one shocking new survey, 28% of U.S. households have at least one member that is looking for a full-time job.
2 - A recent Pew Research survey found that 55 percent of the U.S. labor force has experienced either unemployment, a pay decrease, a reduction in hours or an involuntary move to part-time work since the recession began.
3 - There are 9.2 million Americans that are unemployed but that are not receiving an unemployment insurance check.
4 - In America today, the average time needed to find a job has risen to a record 35.2 weeks.
5 - According to one analysis, the United States has lost 10.5 million jobs since 2007.
6 - China's trade surplus (much of it with the United States) climbed 140 percent in June compared to a year earlier.
7 - This is what American workers now must compete against: in China a garment worker makes approximately 86 cents an hour and in Cambodia a garment worker makes approximately 22 cents an hour.
8 - According to a poll taken in 2009, 61 percent of Americans "always or usually" live paycheck to paycheck. That was up significantly from 49 percent in 2008 and 43 percent in 2007.
9 - According to a recent poll conducted by Bloomberg, 71% of Americans say that it still feels like the economy is in a recession.
10 - Banks repossessed 269,962 U.S. homes during the second quarter of 2010, which was a new all-time record.
11 - Banks repossessed an average of 4,000 South Florida properties a month in the first half of 2010, up 83 percent from the first half of 2009.
12 - According to RealtyTrac, a total of 1.65 million U.S. properties received foreclosure filings during the first half of 2010.
13 - The Mortgage Bankers Association recently announced that demand for loans to purchase U.S. homes has sunk to a 13-year low.
14 - Only the top 5 percent of U.S. households have earned enough additional income to match the rise in housing costs since 1975.
15 - 1.41 million Americans filed for personal bankruptcy in 2009 - a 32 percent increase over 2008.
16 - Back in 1950 each retiree's Social Security benefit was paid for by 16 workers. Today, each retiree's Social Security benefit is paid for by approximately 3.3 workers. By 2025 it is projected that there will be approximately two workers for each retiree.
17 - According to a new poll, six of 10 non-retirees believe that Social Security won't be able to pay them benefits when they stop working.
18 - 43 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved for retirement.
19 - According to one survey, 36 percent of Americans say that they don't contribute anything to retirement savings.
20 - According to one recent survey, 24% of American workers say that they have postponed their planned retirement age in the past year.
21 - The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index declined sharply to 52.9 in June. Most economists had expected that the figure for June would be somewhere around 62.
22 - Retail sales in the U.S. fell in June for a second month in a row.
23 - Vacancies and lease rates at U.S. shopping centers continued to get worse during the second quarter of 2010.
24 - Consumer credit in the United States has contracted during 15 of the past 16 months.
25 - During the first quarter of 2010, the total number of loans that are at least three months past due in the United States increased for the 16th consecutive quarter.
26 - Things are now so bad in California that in the region around the state capital, Sacramento, there is now one closed business for every six that are still open.
27 - The state of Illinois now ranks eighth in the world in possible bond-holder default. The state of California is ninth.
28 - More than 25 percent of Americans now have a credit score below 599, which means that they are a very bad credit risk.
29 - On Friday, U.S. regulators closed down three banks in Florida, two in South Carolina and one in Michigan, bringing to 96 the number of U.S. banks to be shut down so far in 2010.
30 - The FDIC's deposit insurance fund now has negative 20.7 billion dollars in it, which represents a slight improvement from the end of 2009.
31 - The U.S. federal budget deficit has topped $1 trillion with three months still to go in the current budget year.
32 - According to a U.S. Treasury Department report to Congress, the U.S. national debt will top $13.6 trillion this year and climb to an estimated $19.6 trillion by 2015.
33 - The M3 money supply plunged at a 9.6 percent annual rate during the first quarter of 2010.
34 - According to a new poll of Americans between the ages of 44 and 75, 61% said that running out money was their biggest fear. The remaining 39% thought death was scarier.
35 - One study found that as of 2007, the bottom 80 percent of American households held about 7% of the liquid financial assets.
36 - The bottom 40 percent of all income earners in the United States now collectively own less than 1 percent of the nation’s wealth.
37 - The number of Americans with incomes below the official poverty line rose by about 15% between 2000 and 2006, and by 2008 over 30 million U.S. workers were earning less than $10 per hour.
38 - According to one recent study, approximately 21 percent of all children in the United States are living below the poverty line in 2010 - the highest rate in 20 years.
39 - For the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in 2011.
40 - A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey has found that just 23% of American voters nationwide believe the federal government today has the consent of the governed.
The states need to kick DC into the storm drain, start their own banks, issue their own money, and tell the feds to pound sand. Oh, and use the banksters to plug the leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
Have to say I agree with you on this, Greg. Problem+reaction= solution
And yet still the politicians get their nice fat paychecks, their future retirement plans, their free medical care…
Hmm.
Hey, THEY’RE ON THE GOVERNMENT DOLE! Our taxes pay their salaries; you can think of that as cash assistance. Our taxes pay their medical care; you can think of that as Medicare/Medicaid. Our taxes pay their retirement plans; you can think of that as Social Security. And they VOTE themselves PAY RAISES! Yeah, without the approval of their boss, the American People. When was the last time you voted yourself a pay raise? And got it?
Damn, that’d be a nice job to have.
But then, when did politics become a career? with benefits?
Our government is executing the same Keynesian economics it did during the 30′s, it is likely we will see, as bad and most likely worse, results due to we are not the only producer of the world and we have massive unfunded liabilities dragging us down, as well.
IMO, everyone needs to prepare for the worse, wether it happens or not, for the next five years. We should also plan not to recieve SS/medicare 10 years into the future and prepare for self-reliance.
While the whole world falls apart at least Chelsea Clinton had a nice wedding
Yours is a valuable collection of negative stats. I trust that someone with a competing view could put forth 40 reasons things are getting better. Choice of which facts you present is a form of editing (lies, damn lies and statistics).
That said, I concur with your conclusion; we are living in a ponzi economy where the financial benefits roll-up to the few at the top, often with the help of the government and the regulators. Our markets are corrupted by things like HFT and naked shorts (especially in precious metals). Eventually, it will collapse, but when? By EOY 2010? 2012? 2020? How long can the country endure the pain? How long can extend and pretend last? How long will main street sit idly by while wall street steals their money and their futures?
BTW, I always enjoy when my liberal friends argue for more taxation by pointing out that the tax rate has been much higher in good times. Uh, look at increased state taxes, inflation eating away at disposable cash in the form of insurance, “fees”, gas, cost of homes, university costs, etc. The salient point is that most people simply do not have any additional disposable cash to pay higher tax rates. At the same time, the government refuses to cut their budgets. We have shifted the debts and the ultimate collapse from the individual to the government and WHEN it occurs it will be UGLY!
Reconcile these forty statistics against the data on this real time chart: http://www.usdebtclock.org/
It should be completely obvious that the United States has profoundly failed economically, politically and culturally.
Probably the only way out now is a hostage rescue by the US Military elite forces against the Banksters and their key agents in the government, media and academia.
Where is George Washington when we need him?
The problem is and has always been financial. Do some research and learn how the middle and lower classes have been given a shovel to dig their own graves through their own greed and fears. Years of easy credit leading to excesses and a sharp pullback thereafter. Learn about the money system we have today and you will understand.
The middle and lower classes in the US have been living beyond their means for a very long time on credit. You cannot expect this to go on forever. Sadly, the US Government is no different.
Buy American… or don’t buy at all
Queen Elizabeth Fronts for Rothschilds (“Crown”)
It is accurate to posit that Australia, New Zealand and Canada are not independent, sovereign countries. However, these nations are not owned and run by the UK; they are owned and run by the House of Windsor Crown Temple syndicate within the City of London Corporation. The head signatory of the Crown Temple syndicate is Elizabeth Windsor (Queen Elizabeth II of England).
It should not be forgotten that the most powerful financial syndicate in the Western World is that of the European Rothschilds. The Rothschilds, because of their power base inside the City of London Corporation, have a controlling membership of the London Crown Temple syndicate, and they also have executive control of the Vatican and the Mafia though the P2 Masonic Lodge in Italy.
The financial affairs of the new UK coalition government in London are also Rothschild-controlled. The line management here is understood to be Jacob Rothschild > Nathaniel Rothschild (N.M.Rothschild & Sons Limited, New Court, St Swithin’s Lane, London EC4P 4DU) > Oliver Letwin > George Osborne (British Chancellor of the Exchequer).
Queen Elizabeth II fronts for the Rothschilds. She is the largest landowner on Earth. She is Head of State of the United Kingdom and of thirty one other states and territories, and is the legal owner of 6,600 million acres of land, one sixth of the Earth’s land surface. A conservative estimate of the value of the Crown Temple syndicate’s land holding, under the Queen’s signature, is £17.6 trillion.
((I feel it’s about time you beam me up Scotty ! Either let this high galactic crew , dragon 241 tone 7, win lotto and keep winning lotto to give to the masses for a “money stress” free comphrension of our human and planetary thirteen cycle of our orbitting moon every quarter, full, three quarter, no moon which authors like Raoul Dahl write “under the light of the new moon” there is NO MOON in the new moon phase, “hello”. Or we vote John Key in as King of Aotearoa New Zealand and adopt a thirteen moon calendar today tommorrow, the galactic federation out in space might be us in ourselves, we have to be the hero in ourselves perhaps with a wimper of doubt. Either way we as virtuous warriors of truth light honesty, are gratefull with assistance but the fact that the Gregorian Rothchild brain controlling still exist is reason enough to intervene for humanities sake. We as human beings that know the atrocities being perpetrated now and for as long as time has been manipulated, beg for mercy and plead please please for the love of our babies please, im just a father who begs, for the love of our babies. ))
I completely agree with Greg, the politicians are controlled by a financial elite, who are planning a crisis to consolidate power and wealth. The middle class must go for the reason he said, as the middle class is consuming all of “their” resources. Its crazy sounding but read about the Bilderberg s, Google Bilderberg and read it. All of this is being done deliberately. The financial crisis that is looming is going to be huge and will greatly enhance their power, if we let them get away with it.
We need more stories like this. The truth (based on facts, which this article is) will set you free…..
Depression 2.0!Get ready for it.Gerald Celente says the greatest depression is coming.
Great article.
It ended with, “But restoring democratic nationalism in the U.S. would inconvenience America’s affluent minority. So instead of making trouble, maybe most Americans should just find a new continent to call home.”
The only way to peacefully restore democratic nationalism in the U.S. is via the internet.
The elite have not only been planning these events currently unfolding in our country, but also shaping an environment which allows such events to be planned and implemented. Control of Media, Government, and nearly all financial resources have allowed a handful of wealthy, powerful, and influential megalomaniacs to implement these crises at will, and with impunity. Moreover, with complete control over our public schools, universities, military and law enforcement, our “way of life” will perpetuate until the eventual collapse of our country forces these “privileged” to either flee to some exotic island; or to side with the serfs and find a scapegoat in which to direct public rage. All of this was not an accident, it was deliberate, and you can take that to the bank (Well, the ones that are still left anyway). Daveco your points are great, and I believe in an uncorrupt system your argument to vote for change is right on the money. However, in a system where truck loads of money are dumped into the pockets of corrupt lawmakers and political charlatans, getting any real change will be very difficult if not impossible at this point. This won’t continue forever, change will come, and it may even get better, but not before much pain and misery has been experienced.
Personally, I am not going to give the people who are disrupting the US economy anymore credit, for anything. If you do not know they exist, go find out.
But then forget it. You can’t wrap your head around it. I say lets look for answers (this time around) and forget trying to get more agreement that ‘things are bad’. OK, so they are bad, …what can WE DO ABOUT IT?
At this moment, I find it liberating to stop worrying about how the US economy is doing. Just forget it. It isn’t worth my energy being brought down by government official’s ineptitude and corruption.
Fire them!
Great article. Timothy Geithner was the NY Federal Reserve Bank chief. He sat there and did and said nothing while Wall Street plundered Main Street. He got rewarded. Alan Greenspan, the genius, right up to the collapse of the Stock Market, and the Bail Outs, said, “…he didn’t see it coming”.
But many in the real financial world saw in coming years before and said so over and over.
Many Democratic operatives like Raines, Jaimie Gorlick, Ram Emmanuel were made millionaires under Fannie and Freddie. This was used as a slush fund to ensure silence and reward skulduggery. All at taxpayer expense.
What we need is special prosecutions for ALL of those who lied, bribed, manipulated, and with malice and forethought destroyed the American economy. That would include the Marxist Billionaires in this country, eg., Soros, Lewis, Sandlers, Buffet, Zukerman, Bing, Geffen, and at least 10 others. Try them for treason and subversion. They are a fifth column, The Enemy Within.
Daveco, if voting worked it would be illegal to vote.
All voting does is change the wolves from time to time, nothing else. Things that are repeated endlessly are usually lies, hmm voting comes instantly to mind.
Republicrats or Demlicans 2 wings of the same bird of prey. As someone commented here, this is all planned and there is no going back to “good times” stock up on food and ammo, your going to need both.
Peace in Yahshua!
I don’t know why everyone keeps crying about the unemployed. They are generally unpleasant people anyway…
The truth is frightening, as it should be.
Reality hurts and is going to hurt a LOT more yet as the inevitable economic depression commences.
Decades of corporate greed, mismanagement, incompetent self-serving politicians, poor credit control and shallow plastic lifestyles are the cause and unfortunately it will take a depression to wake the western world up to the nature of their existence to date. The flow on effects of the west will hit China and emerging countries very hard too as their (western) customer base drops to near zero. Little wonder China is amassing natural resources and other assets in every country to protect themselves when the crash hits.
As for theories about this all being caused by the global elite, NWO etc – I have yet to see any proof of any of this. No names, no organisations, no documentary proof at all – just speculation and inuendo by the likes of Alex Jones, the master of paranoid conspiracy theories.
It’s dog eat dog time, so look out for #1. They’re the rules of the day and for the next decade…
Good info. Have been trying to put together a means for small investors to at least have food but sadly not too many are thinking that now. If a collapse happens it will be too late – the money’s gone as well as precious growing time. I keep hoping there’s even a dozen people out there that are seeing it – but so far it seems the latest reality show or celebrity is doing is more important.
People that came through the Depression with “we were poor but…” had 1 thing in common – food source. Today that is taken for granted, with some blaming farmers for being too far away from Manhattan. Being near an available food source is critical. Many cities have less than 3 days worth…and will riot if things go wrong. That puts needing a bailout on a whole new level – but finding people who see it…? Might as well hunt unicorns.
The destruction of the United States is necessary to force it into a scheme of global governance. When membership in an EU-style regional government, with a regional currency is thrown to us like a life-preserver, the American people will seize on it like a drowning man. They will let us suffer awhile, then unveil our pre-planned salvation. This will be a betrayal of the Constitution, our blueprint for a free society. Those who oppose the globalist coup will be branded “extremists” and “terrorists.” You will see people disappearing in the USA for their political beliefs: the antiConstitutional “Patriot” Act was written for this purpose in mind. Look where the money went: international banks – with anonymous, foreign ownership. We don’t even know the names of the people who are engineering this. Just because you don’t think or plan beyond next month doesn’t mean they don’t: they have a multigenerational mentality and are building a legacy. And they know they have to do it over our dead bodies.
I agree with you Greg… What ppl tend to forget is history repeats it’s self over and over again. The U.S. has been changing from a Republic to an Oligarchy for probably 100 years now (as ALL republic’s eventually do) – the economy failing and gaining control over you (ex: Healthcare, Cap-n-Trade) are the finally steps to make this transaction a reality.
For those of you that think a “Resource Based Society” is possible – I’m afraid that is not a part of the plan.
Spot on – Nice one Greg.
Hopefully they start to wake up to whats really happening VERY soon.
To rest of you – go check out alternative sources for your info (stop watching the official line / the BS line) because you will get exactly that – BS.
Also do yourselves a BIG favour and go watch the very informative presentation “Money as Debt” on youtube.
Happy Days Greg.
Happy Daze to the rest of you.
lol – Americans obsolete – even the Georgia guidestones only allocate place for 500 000 000 people on the planet.
What are the odds that you are not one of that 500kk?
Good luck
Greg,
You are absolutely right in your assessment of the world political stage, what you have said also applies to the religious scene, which surrounds us. I wish there was more people like you who would take the time to research these subjects before they blurt off at the mouth with there so called expertise. Thanks for comments.
When you have 43% of the bottom income earners owning only less than 1% of the country’s wealth, you have a third world country.
Yes, the globalists want to get rid of 80% of us in a slow kill sort of way.
But you know what happens when you wish evil on someone, it comes back at you.
Dear USA
you got rich thru innovation. show us some new technology or become a consumer to the world
Let the end come soon so we can get on with maintaining the tree of liberty.
28 – More than 25 percent of Americans now have a credit score below 599, which means that they are a very bad credit risk.
What’s that going to do to property values?
Greg,
Is that grape or strawberry? Did they use the sugar free or regular? I heard they now have some Trilateral berry tea and some CFR citrus, you should try some of those, too.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
-Declaration of Independence; In Congress, July 4, 1776
It aint King George III anymore people, but its the same idea. We need new guards.
If the elite are looking to control this country, how is destroying it going to help them, they lose also.
there are too many people…everything else is just right.
This is why a few of us have moved to the beach in Costa Rica. SUSTAINABLE BEACH LIVING I am living in a beautiful beach home for under $159,000 NEW with ocean views-85 mins. to airport. My taxes are zilch, and cost of living, and quality is way better. Plus there is abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats ORGANIC here, and plenty of upside money making opportunity. http://www.youtube.com/user/jovancr
The US is collapsing, and feminism has caused it. On that note, continue to give all the women you know more respect then they deserve. Also support breaking the (bogus) glass ceiling and all the other crap that they spew. Have a wonderful day, my fellow American fools….
At this point in the game, since we have chosen to ignore the catastrophe that has incrementally screwed us in ways that are not easy to define to the average idiot on the street.
No, there are only three things that we need to do to save America:
Stop buying everything
Rebuild communities
expose and eliminate enemies of the Democracy.
Democracy, by the way, is not a place, it is a practice.
somehow i feel it serves the U S right
they will finally learn to mind their own business n concentrate more on their own country rather than bother with other countries
nothing personal but its just a my view
the U S has to stop supporting rogue countries like pak otherwise it will have a long lasting effect on their relations with legitimate friendly countries
countries like pak are termites u will never know how near the end is.
The looting of America is taking place ie Wall Street Bailout, right in front of our eyes. Right before a Nation collapses folks raid the banking reserves.
Btw- As per the 1984 Grace Commission Report findings under then POTUS Ronald Reagan- none of our tax dollars go anywhere except to pay off the debt ie all tax collected by the IRS goes straight to the Federal Reserve Cartel of Bankers to pay off the debt.
One more item to add to this list is the stupidity of people willing to pay 6 or 7 times more for a house than it is actually worth.
Here’s an even more gruesome statistic: there are over 40,000 full time lobbyists in DC today, more than double the number from 2007. If you want to know why good jobs, small businesses, domestic manufacturing, and personal freedoms continue to disappear regardless of who you vote for, don’t blame China, or the opposite party– blame the hordes of professional usurpers who stole our government and made it “their” government. Virtually everything that happens in Washington benefits the largest corporations at your expense. We have become so anesthetized to this ongoing larceny that we pretend it’s just the way of the modern world. But don’t kid yourself. It’s the dark alchemy of corporate duplicity mixed with public apathy. We will continue to fund the weapons of our own mass destruction until we decide we prefer peace, prosperity, and freedom. And we will never see any of it until the ‘Armani Army’ is thrown out of Washington for good.
Smitty for president.
Left/right,liberal, communist,libertarian,republican,Blah blah blah!.
All of our problems can be summed up like this:
Lazy,economically ignorant people (and their politicians who depend on their votes) wanted something for nothing and got away with it for some time,now reality is arriving and it won’t be papered over with more debt to hide it.
Fortunately, the constitution ignoring parasites who managed to get this racket going will be the ones hurting the most when the currency is devalued by a factor of 5
Reality will soon force you lice to work like the rest of us!
The country started failing when it became an economy of marketeering and salesboys. These people try to crate demand for unnecessary products by lying and twisting truth. They sit around at the golf course getting drunk and slamming the people who work in the factory or construction sites producing the things these leeches use every day. When marketeering became tolerated let alone respected it was the beginning of the end for America as a country. Today sales and marketeering adds far more to the cost of everything we use than the cost of producing it but we still here unions blamed for high costs. Finance also adds more than the cost of production. None of these activities, sales, finance, or marketeering, adds anything of value. They just increase cost. Cut the number of salesboys and their compensation to something the country can actually afford, do the same to the banksters and get the spinmeisters and marketeers out of the rooms where decisions are made and things will start to turn around. Not likely to happen in the near future. As long as the salesboys and marketeers are around do not expect to hear anything but lies.
We need to all starting buying American made products or not buy at all. Check out http://www.petriot.com on where to find American products.
One significant statistic I never hear reported on is the huge number of unemployed 60-somethings who were forced into early Social Security Retirement before their account matured simply because we could not survive without a job and opted to save our life and be thankful for the lower amount rather than starve and wait for the higher amount. For example, because I could no longer compete in the job market with younger (and cheaper) employees, my only choice was to lock in, at 63, for the rest of my life, to a monthly check of $897, rather than the nearly $1400/month I had long intended to retire on had I been able to remain employed a few years longer. This issue is especially pressing when you consider there are many more females in this predicament than men, and that we (females) almost universally receive 40% to 60% less SS$ than our male counterparts because of the unavoidable reasons we all know. This is creating an almost instantaneous deep poverty class out of the increasingly vulnerable aging population. We are going to need to develop new ways of sharing residences, resources, food, and this will likely occur within a shadow economy because the government has created more ways to discourage entrepreneurship than I can keep up with. My solution has been to devolve my lifestyle (out of my car now and living in a barn), reduce consumption to a notch above camping, and grow as much of your own (and for those around us) food. I started a CSA and grow food for a shrinking group of middle class families, and truck their “Share” of vegetables into the city weekly. Committing to local food security initiatives is only one way to save your own life but it is sure a meaningful one. Oil has peaked….peak water and peak soil and peak food is next….
The Salivators
Sheep like humanity, howling as wolves.
To evil deferring, destroying the good.
As foulmouthed cowards, wasting their breath
Flashing fools fashions, ignoring the threat,
Of a flash that will fashion . . . Humanity’s death.

“The Tax Refusal” a way forward by which individuals regain control over their lives:

As Machiavelli made clear, power and control are the objective of the prince. Not compassion and justice. Welcome to the age of Corporatocracy.
Sometimes it is necessary to go to the root of the problem; the Rotschilds (adress in Kiwiallegiances post) owns more than 50%s of all wealth on the planet,that includes ALL (but 7) central or National Banks -157- ,largely running the total economy of states all over and printing money out of thin air ,like Schickelgruber did. They own the military-industry and the press – and the politicians. All that wealth carries a lot of responsibility for its use. Will you still send your young people to war so they can spend as much ammunition and tanks and drones etc. as possible so they (Rotshits)can make some more money from replacing it with even more expensive and complicated hardware ,meant only to be destroyed. Seen from the other Universal cultures this is cause of much head-shaking and compassion. We have to solve it ourselves- and as said-the adress is up there in Kiwiallegiances post.P.S.: don´t forget: besides wars they also de-populate us with chem-trails- and lately Corexit in the food-chain. STOP THEM!
