economy
by nightrwolf at 8/14/2009 8:08:49 AM


todays economy is quite scary. I'm a union millwright by trade and in my lifetime i've never seen it so bad. our busey season has been cut short by industies holding on to their money and canceling repairs that they have done annually during this time of year is when i make my living. thousands of us have lost almost everything this year.Our retirement has depleted and our medical coverage.If the goverement put the money its blown into the economy we would have never had a slump and healthcare wouldn't be an issue.But fall is approaching and so is hope for my trade anyways you see i mainly work power plants and they have to shutdown after running hard all summeri would call this a depression not a resession i haven't been resessed about a damn thing its been plum depressing lol and outright scary.I've worked hard to get where I'm at in my trade and had seriously considered having to do something else and it would be a shame. i love the work i do.not every1 can do it. so what is your thoughts?

I have watched many of my family members lose their jobs recently due to the economy. Other who dont lose their jobs but their hours are cut down so much it really isnt worth the gas it will take to go to work. It is very sad and extremely scarey! So many people I know have had heart attacks over the last couple of years due to stress of the economy. If I stop and really think about it all I throw myself into a panic attack! I just have to keep on keeping on and hope for the best. You have to do the same.
