Weekly unemployment claims cause Karl Denninger to blow his expresso out through his nose.

Not looking very good here.  I wonder if this is a combo of the effects of Obamacare and perhaps retailers laying temp help off a bit early.  Who knows?

The moral: if you have a job, keep it at all costs.  If you can score a second job, do it. Spend no more than you must.  Pay down debt if you can.
