I agree...I am scared.

Especially with what is going on over in the Eurozone! Things are looking dodgy on the stock market

Anyhow, sorry just realised I got the company wrong, it's Onesteel, not Bluescope. Seems like it's happening to everyone!

That is awful. It is like companies don't care about anything but profit. Stuff like this happens frequently here in the USA too.

It sucks, doesn't it? I really hope they sort something out soon. We're waiting on some sort of announcement about the US economic recovery this week I gather.

It isn't exactly like the depression in the 1930's. But it can get a lot worse than it is now. I watched an interview with the head of the world monetary fund. The Worlds Monetary Fund is running scared that they will not be able to fix things. The Head of the fund was explaining just how bad it can get. I can see nations that have been world leaders become like 3rd world countries.

Well there are a bunch that are waiting to see if Italy goes bankrupt too.

 

[justbugged]

Italy alone could sink the world banks in just one go. Italy is the seventh largest economy in the world.

I haven't heard anything about a US economic recovery

I have been working in the same position for four years, going on five, without even the opportunity for a raise...and gas prices, grocery prices, prices of EVERYTHING have gone up so dramatically in a few short years...I fear the economic recovery is not even on the horizon at this point.

I can relate. I know that DH is making very good wages, but we are struggling to pay for everything. We work with a cash base. So when the money is gone it's gone. I don't know how to save any.

DH is very fortunate to even have a job still. But how long before they close the factory completely here in the US.

So I must be very close to page 250 now.
