I hope you all have been paying attention for the last month and see what is going on in the financial markets. it is pretty historic to see our economy this bad. the only time that has ever rivaled this was the depression. we are smart enough not to hit a depression, and we learned from that time. with that said, it is really interesting to look at the events leading up to the collapses, the reasons for them, the repruccusions it has had on the Economy as a whole (across Industries), and where we end up at.
