Can't do anything else than agree with you on this one Steve.

It's the same mess over here and it makes no sense. We get told recession is over, people get jobs and everything is fine and dandy. On the same page, you see how an airliner must cut expenses and see the need to lay off dozens of people.

Further down, you see that big companies see the need to cut the christmas parties this year, cause they have no money for it. You see that more and more people will lose their company car, and benefits that include free dental care, free gym memberships and other typical benefits.

Conflicting stories all over the board...with the reader having to sort it all out for him/herself, to make any sense of it at all.

I'm tired of being considered dumb, just because I ain't got a degree. It's disrespectful to the public when they assume we are all dumba*ses that don't get what's going on.
It might be true for some, but definitly not everyone.
