This economic stuff is bad. Many people are either losing their jobs, or afraid that they could. Money is tight. People are finally afraid of credit cards/
These are not bad things.
Many of the couples I see who usually fought about money-- using it as one of their flash points, even if it wasn't the real issue they were fighting about, which is usually control, recognition, and who should carry the emotional load -- now they talk about survival.
In some ways people are very tense about making the bills. In some ways people are more relaxed because the pressure to make tons of money, to keep up, to buy more and bigger, is gone. Even the people who have money, have less.
Making tons of money is not trendy any more. It looks bad. If this were France in 1787 all those auto execs, and big bankers would be on their way to the guillotine. There is a lot of popular support for that.
There are signs that things are changing. Having a job seems more important than just making money. How you get your money is beginning to matter again.
May there will even be a return of things like ethics and integrity.
Well, let's not get carried away.

Who knows. Give it another decade or so and we might just get there.
Seriously! I didn't take you for such an optimist:)
What a wonderful and positive take on things. Ah, but the realist in you is present, too! :)
The French revolution was 1789....;)
