on economic crisis

I have to be honest and say that I admire this economic crisis.

people have so much respect for it that it is easy to find news titles like:
"Global financial crisis spills over China's labor market"
"Financial crisis hits China's auto exports"
"Economic Crisis Creates Positive Spin-Off for Agriculture"
"Financial crisis makes climate change plan too costly"
"The global crisis has officially arrived in Russia"
"Financial crisis hits U.S. snowboarders"....?wtf?
and the list goes on and on...

it became such a popular hit on the news that we no longer speak about 'it' but instead we started speaking about 'Her'.

Is this crisis the female version of God?
come on, its easy to be confused...She is everywhere, just like Him.
Some say that she only exists because we say she exists

and.... because she destroys every men's pocket!

  1. That our daylife is not affected by the crisis doesnt mean that the crisis is not there, of course, in Switzerland the crisis is like God, it doesnt exist.

    And it is even good because the price of the gas is going down, but this is a good proof of crisis, moreover that flat prices are going down in Spain is also a good signal. That many people is loosing their jobs is a fact. If the governments cannot afford that then it will become a real crisis.

    1 question, does anybody's pocket who is reading these lines has been affected by the crisis?

  2. The fact that our daily life is not affected by the crisis doesnt mean that it doesnt exist in the same way as God doesnt exist.

    Of course, the media needs to get profit of it, and it becomes a source of uninformation, crisis now it is like football or Lady dy in media market terms.

    Probably for many of us, the crisis is a good thing, afterwards the gas now is as cheap as it was 5-7 years ago? And it continous down. But this is a good proof that things doesnt go well in general terms. In Spain, flat prices are also going down, not a good signal, stock markets have devaluated around 70%. Many people is loosing their jobs (I wont forget the poor snowboarders), and if it becomes dramatic, governments will not be able to afford it, and it will become a real crisis.

    Anyway, a world crisis is good in global terms, it affects more to people that has more, and extremely poor people cannot loss much. Perhaps the medium-low income society is the more affected one.

    And just one question in case anybody reads these lines, does anybody's pocket has been affected by the crisis??? Post your crisis experience, did you have to sell your properties? Did you loss your job? Did you win in lottery in crisis times?
