Amazing

The pessimism is so ingrained, you don't even recognize it:

"Technology bellwethers with a big chunk of their businesses
overseas have benefited from a weak dollar compared to other
currencies, but the gravy train may be coming to a stop."

Weak dollar: That means falling dollar.
"gravy train coming to a stop": that means if the dollar stops
falling it's going to be bad.

Now, here's how an optimistic journalist (an apparently non-
existent breed today) would portray this story:

Strengthening dollar provides opportunities for U.S. companies
to expand domestically.

See? Same story, optimistic take.

It's not hard, once you recognize the fact you are a pessimist
and see the world as nothing but an eternal series of soup
lines and homeless shelters.
