U.S. Officially In Recession

[Mike M]

I hope we don't get another Great Depression. Sounds grim according to the article.

No, with the new acts and laws that have been placed during and after the depression we'll get nowhere near that anymore.

The democrats will fix it.

If you had any idea how close we are to a depression you'd realize how stupid that statement is.

I don't think it'll be bad as years past, but it's definitely not good news..at all. (obviously)

I agree with Gary on the gas prices.  Since the downfall of the economy in recent months, all prices have done is gone down.  We saw no increase in prices for the Thanksgiving holiday.  In fact, I don't think there was an increase in prices for Labor Day, either (if it was, it was little).  As long as our economy is down, so are the prices at the pump, which is probably the only light in the situation.

Many people are turning to mass transit.

You don't file lawsuits. The only filing your parents might do is for bankruptcy protection.

You can't file a lawsuit against a company for firing you, unless of course it was a valid reason like racial or sexual discrimination.  It's the economy, there is nothing you can do about it.

Luckily, my job is safe in tact...for now.  More people are getting fast food rather than something fancy (I assume..).  My parents, however, got hours cut at their job.  But, my dad has a backup part time job that can turn into full time easliy

I hope my parents don't lose their jobs. If they do, I would lose my house!

Is there someone I can sue over this? I'm not living with this for the rest of my life.

Can you please try to think rationally?

i can't really say the same, yes i work in the fast food industry...but when you're working with idiots (management team)...nothing gets done or make sense...

for the first time EVER that i've been working at freddy's...i have TEN (10!) cashiers...and 8 cooks...we're becoming overstaffed, theres a lack of communication, all my managers are MALES, so their going to continue hiring hot looking cashiers (i should add that i'm now the last male cashier who gets paid higher than the other cashiers) making me target number 1 on the list to be fired.

it's ridiculous.

anyway back on subject :p haha. sorry.
