LOL they want to lend me money. I get two offers from them a week.

I think Michigan is a lost cause. Every night there are new plant closings announced. There are no jobs anymore.   

Yeah that sucks, the only thing that I can think of that's similar here is when Maytag closed its plant last year and the company that is replacing it will only hire about half of what Maytag employed.

We will recover.

[Blaze-Senpai]

We will recover.

Don't we always? Because this is the great US of A.

But really, it's not just us, everywhere else is going downhill too (Except for Iran because of all the money they have from oil?)

Where did we go wrong? We need time machines already, though They're like, impossible to build.

My dad's lost over $5000 in investments over the last month.
Yay I have to buy my own first car now toot;

But seriously this is pretty gay. He's tempted to invest in microsoft stock, seeing as it's really low, and he could make a killing if it came back to normal.

I'm gonna say that we will need to find a solution sometime very soon. I believe in causes such as global warming, and if we keep doing what we are doing now, I guarentee you, it will be so hard to keep moving on in 15 years. Gas prices will be so high that people won't have enough money to drive to work.
