its not recession we are suffering from...........right now its inflation

the dollars is worth less than it used to be and everything thing in the US costs more in US dollars.......... in euros things are pretty cheap here.


the inflation is bought about by the government increasing 'liquidity'....... that is they print more dollars and use them to pay the debt down..........this in turn makes the dollar worth less .....oh well..........
.

thats like what the germans did after WWII they made so much money to pay off their debt that their money was worthless and you would have to bring in a wheel barrel full of money for a loaf of bread....

yes the extreme example
 
I haven't been able to order some fish i wanted from cali because of ridiculous shipping cost, I had to take down 2 tanks because of high electricity cost, i lost 2 pounds cause I'm walking more
 
if it wasnt for my father in law i would still be unemployed.... he does hardwood flooring and is steady but not as busy as he should be... i hate this damn recession all my certs and experience i should be making good money this time of year....
 
ya i feel ya man, i had to sell my dream truck bc of gas and college costen so much, lol funny when i joined the military i was like at least ill get money for school when i get out, lol im lucky if it covers all the school cost. ya and i 23 and so is my wife and we rarely go out bc of gas and the cost of milk, dipers and all that stuff, awww lol but i still find some extra moneys for fish, lol should have saved for school but had to use the tax return for fish....just had to lol
 
What really irks me is when the oil company people come up in front of congress and say that it's not a big deal that they made 130-odd billion dollars in profits in the last year, but only invested a combined 3.5 billion in renewable energy over the course of the last 5.
I understand that they have a right to make money, but if they truly care about helping like they say they do then they should act like it.

WINDPOWER I can't say it enough, wind mill power is the future, and if you don't believe me, google it. Totally renewable, quiet, super efficient, yet people are afraid of it. If you have a windmill on your property, your electric company will pay you rather than you paying them.

my future fish room will be combo solar and wind power as with my house having a wind turbine and solar cells as well.... so worth the investment...

im broke because of school!

books, tuitions, and the gas to drive back and forth, to work and back and driving around on weekends.

UGH! :ROFL:


:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

Most Students your age are BROKE BRO!! :D
 
I handle insurance claims. I cover Southern Cali, basically. My own fuel costs are like $540.00 a month, plus the wifes gas hog truck is probably another $300.00 going to Palm Springs every weekend. That's $840.00 in gas costs alone. Now figure in the fact that less people are driving so less accident occur, then take into account I still need to travel the same distances for less assignments so I am deep DEEP in the S-house when it comes to fuel.
I'm glad we have retarded drivers here.
