Re: the "R' word
^ i dont know anyone close enough to have lost their jobs, but at work i hear about someone's hubby or wife... or people in the mining industry (im in Aus so thats been a big thing here)
as for prices.. ive seen tech prices slashed.. things are a lot cheaper and i dont see as many people out in the shops as I used to... even at the cheaper outlet stores, dont see many people. People are just buying necessities.. even if people still have their jobs, i can see people are cutting back on stuff just for the harder times..
