“We expect 2009 will be the weakest year for economic growth in the postwar period,” the company said in a statement.

That’s actually a quoted quote on the blog I linked to, but whatever. The point is they’re calling this the ‘postwar period’ – do they really mean post-WW2? In case they haven’t been paying attention, we’ve been waging two wars since 2001-3. Still in them. And several since the Dubya-Dubya-Deuce. I think they maybe meant to say “since the great Depression” but I think companies are nervous about mentioning Depression 1.0 for fear of causing D 2.0.
