The coming financial crisis

Looked up my fuel efficient car value today because I'd hit a deer and its being assesed by insurance pukes. Only lost $1000 in value since I bought it years ago. Fuel efficient being key me thinks.

I got news for all of you: the other shoe of this down economy hasn't dropped yet.

I read an article in Fortune today that says that less than 1/3rd of the hit has hit yet in consumer credit.  The total bank write off in credit could top $2 trillion.  Yes, that's a shtein load of money.  Those of you that have jobs, do everything you can to hold on to them.  Those of us that don't blow whoever necessary to get one.

I really really want to get out of Boston but the idea of leaving my job right now (and presumably looking for another one) is pretty goddamned daunting. Maybe I can learn to speak mexican talk and become an unlicensed migrant worker. I hear those guys are living the good life.

I've worked from home full time before. It's not that much fun. In fact, you'll probably have bed sores from inactivity by week 3.
