I believe 20+ banks went under in the last week.

Really? Which ones? That's quite a lot.

I think its safe to say we are in a full blown world depression. It's effected almost every nation on the globe.

I haven't noticed anything here, to be honest. Where I live it's the second worst area for unemployment in the country at about 6% (officially), but I still think it's reasonably low compared to, say, 25% (officially) seen in the US during the 30s.


I think you are mad.
