  When I go shopping, I go directly to the item I want, pay for it, and leave.  I don’t care about the people shopping there.  I don’t care to socialize in the store. With that said, I like to shop at both Walmart and Target.  They have ...

• Are We in an Economic Depression?

  Posted on Friday October 17th, 2008 at 14:55 in Protection, Economy, stuff, recession

  Some people point out that we may be in another economic depression.  This is misleading because when I look around, people are still buying clothes, groceries, and new computers.  People are still taking vacations and commuting to work.  No one h...
