Is the economy headed for the toilet?

Sure looks like it.

Women may have to ugrade their spouses if hubby loses his job...just sayin

Tons of homeless all along the west coast. Union jobs in WA state pay 25% above the national standard. but yah...I was in the Seattle Tacoma area recently, prices were sky high with a Pot store on about every block.

I never got help with my new luxury car, lifetime insurance, and maintenance plan/beg so my plan is a no-go. I'll continue without lol.. a while back the govt sent us emergency food. Seriously it was barely edible. ~gag~ Just hope they don't send any your way. Anyway being poor is nothing new around here. Might end up in the good old days when bank robbery and cattle rustling filled the gap.

If I recall correctly, in similar times the US started a war somewhere when the economy went south. Too bad the big corps have farmed out so much manufacturing and production to foreign countries so the execs could get richer. Sadly, aside from the self-enrichment aspect, having degrees doesn't mean much when most jobs are service jobs like Mc D's and convenience stores.

Sorry to hear about your job loss.

PS. There's always work in the mortuary field.

I'm so sorry! That is really frightening. I hope it works out for you.

What industry are you in?

I got let go from my job today and I did not see that coming. Once I said something on one of my SM accounts, tons of other "friends" confessed they had also been let go TODAY. I don't see why they'd lie, their circumstances are different than mine... but I find it very eerie so many people across the board lost their jobs. Also self inflicted "inflation" by companies us absolutely ruining the economy as a whole.
