Its almost pathetic enough to make me go open source

Actually, that's not true. Japan's dying, as a country. The younger generation is moving out and leaving due to the older generation, and due to a preference of boys over girls, there's now very few young women... and so the system is quietly and slowly collapsing.

 

A cataclysmic economic recession seems fair trade in exchange for a smaller next generation. It's not like the economy ever heals itself and rebuilds, or anything.

 

I'm waiting for the economy to recover so I can buy myself another car. I'm rather pissed with way things are due to this.

 

I'm waiting for the holiday season to die, and for the recession to fully hit, so I can buy a laptop for pissing cheap from starving jobless fucktards.

 

They're buying out of fear right now. The entire world is in an economic recession.

 

I know here for Chrismtas seafood prices are at their lowest they have been for years due to the US mainly and others just not wanting to basically buy it i'm presuming because of the economy. Hell it looks like lobster thermadore all day Christmas Day, thanks guys.

 

My father's got a theory about the way the various governments around the world are trying to 'stimulate' the economy by injecting dollars into our pockets. He believes that once the world is on the downslide, it has to slide fast; otherwise, it will just drag on, and when it does finally hit, we'll hit so hard it will take just as long to get out of it. He explained with the Asian recession of the nineties and the global Depression of the thirties; the amount of time between the first glimmers of recession and rock bottom was less than a year. Therefore, it took less than a year to recover. The British recession of circa 70s took five years to fall - and five years to climb back up again.
