Sign of the times Hitting Home.

[Sock Full of Boiled Dimes]

So I'm wondering.

Has this hard ecinomic times hit home for everyone here? From what I can tell its getting worse and worse in the States and things are not looking up.

I know my family is feeling it hard. Personally I don't know how I'm going to afford rent and food at the same time.

How bout the rest of you?

Well not that it's of anyone's business but our family and extended family were heavily invested in the companies that went under, but were lucky enough to sell all their holdings long before the incident hit the news, making a huge profit with enough money to hold out for many years to come no matter how hard the economic times hit.

Economy stinks.

Madoff hurt my temple to the tune of at least 700,000.

I wouldn't know :blank:.

But I was loving those gas prices before I got deployed. I could fill up my tank for 20 bucks :eyepop:

The company I worked for went bankrupt. Don't know how that happened, the owner owned quite a few businesses including a sweat shop in china, and sold the materials for roughly a 1000% markup. Nobody else is hiring, even in the service industry. Looks like I'm gonna have to start selling drugs, and I'm only half joking, and the joke is that it would take an investment to start that I have no morally acceptable way to come up with it. I'm not really worried though, fuck it.

After laughter comes tears as the song says. Worst comes to worst things won't be that terrible anyway.
