At the end of October, when the markets crashed I asked here "how are you going to spend the depression ?". A number of replies belied the traders exclaiming how busy they are. So 4 months later, let me ask the same question- I am curious if things have changed- I hope hope everyone is where they want to be, but I am getting increasingly concerned about the future. It's kinda scary with 3 young'uns
It is pretty scary, but when is it not? At least for manufacturing. Our poor azzes have been in a decline for 20 years or more due to outsourcing and technology advances.
The only good news in all of this is if you actually have a job you don't have to work 70 hours just to get by. You can survive now on 40-45 hrs a week or less. There's no pier pressure to buy a new car, and people are starting to buy houses to actually have a home as opposed to getting money for nothing. Sales every day for everything. Plus it's nice to see the 8 dollar lottai market crash. Back to a cup of coffee at McDonalds for 10 cents.lol .
You seem to be forgetting..that the Turdworld Shithole you live in...is not in any shape or form representative of the rest of the US.
You really really need to take a year or two off and go on "walkabout" and visit the United States of America

I'm working at finding work. Not one of my better skill sets, I'll admit.
