I've read a couple places that these times are being dubbed the 'Greatest Depression' and it seems to be getting propped up next to the Great Depression.
Are things honestly going to become so dire? We're in such different circumstances, there's no World War that we have to finance...whats going on? Everyone's talking about stockpiling food, universities closing down, Panasonic laying off 10% of their employees, travel companies boosting their rates by 20%...
At least gas is cheap, maybe I can escape with my 1970's chevy...
So are we just a bunch of drama queens? Or is this the real shiz?
The media must be getting such a kick out of this!
