I guess I’m just slow. I finally figured out that you can buy sliced roast beef at the supermarket deli and make a passable Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with very little hassle.
Heat a non-stick pan to high heat with a tbsp of oil. Add diced onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Then add a few oz of diced deli roast beef slices with a dusting of seasoning and brown to taste. Collect the meat and veggies to a sandwich sized pile and cover with a slice of cheese. Place a sliced roll or slice of bread over the cheese for a minute while the cheese melts. Scoop the bread covered meat and invert. Like Anthony Bourdain would say- tastes like it died screaming!
Lamentations on Chemistry 
So the economy truly is doomed. People are figuring out you don’t have to pay $9.99 for a mediocre sandwich (you can make it yourself at half the cost!).

Sad. There’s terror in the eyes of many of the shop owners.
Boarded up store fronts are spreading like a field of uhhhhh…green shoots?
This bubble collapse isn’t like turning down the volume. It’s tuning to a different frequency. A phase transition.
Chairman of the Federal Reserve Benjamin “Bullshit” Bernanke says the recovery is full steam ahead and prosperity is just around the corner! Alan Greenspan says the third quarter grew at an annualized 12%/year! The US Treasury is printing bricks of unvalued $100 bills faster than North Korea.
We went shopping this Sunday morning. Mall parking lots are slippery with shopkeeper’s guts. There were more unoccupancies than in smiles at a Willy Nelson concert. Real people with real mortgages are being foreclosed in bulk, commercial real estate is dead, 2009 tax revenues will be a “shock.” Two 20 story luxury condo towers in Hutton Centre have 0% occupancy. Christmas will set national records – but not in a good way – if South Coast Plaza as ghost town is any leading indicator.

There is still wreckage falling from the sky, which is what you’re seeing. What I see in the polyolefins arena, for instance, are distinct signs of vitality worldwide. Smart companies have been using this recession to clean house. This has an exaggerating effect on jobs and investment in the short term. If anything, productivity will see an uptick during this period because fewer people are doing more work. The economy will pick back up as a new bubble is identified and investors rush in for new short term gain.
The economy is like a stomach. It has no brain. It only knows that it wants more.
Kiss your future goodbye. The dollar is going to be crashed and your savings trashed. The end is near.

When uncertain, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.
