1. ZIRP creates new restaurants through "cheap" borrowing.
2. New restaurants hire new workers. Hurray!
3. Restaurant competition increases.

5. Old restaurants eventually close.
6. Old restaurants eventually lay off old workers.
7. Investors suddenly realize that the Fed has not permanently put an end to recessions.
Perhaps someone could explain the flaw in my business cycle reasoning? Please. I'd like to be wrong here. Seriously.

No joke on that. Playing two different free-to-play games right now on my phone (not simultaneously).
How do they make money? Showing me ads for other free-to-play games! Well, mostly.
