I dont know anyone who was actually affected by the recession Me neither to be honest. People who spend their money in a responsible way and aren't taking out insane loans to pay for something as redundant as a second couch will most likely be perfectly fine. It is kind of sickening to see people complaining about the recession while at the same time just ignoring the fact that our recession is still a thousand times better than a good year in 3rd world countries.
Depends on who you talk to... there are so many people in debt who can't get jobs. Not to say they have it worse off than people in 3rd world countries... but it's a drastic change for them from the quality of life in the 90s.

It's fallout. Reaganomics worked well in the 1980s USA, so 1990s worked pretty well. Clinton fucked things up in the end, and Bush made it worse (but DID NOT START IT) so what we have is a crisis.
Only difference is that while in USA we fucked up, it was actually a bad snafu and everyone happened to fuck up too at the time.
Basically, guys, don't spend money you don't have, and don't fuck up anything that doesn't need to be. And for Christ's sakes, be happy.

I don't know who has been affected the most but I believe the strong economies will come out alright(USA, Germany, France, etc) We climbed out of the debt from WWII and we can do it again. Countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland are in for a rough ride, imo.

Where's Jay-Z on this list? I hear that he has 99 problems.
On a serious note, I think a quantitative list of problems is arbitrary compared to the depth and breadth of a problem. For instance, Australia has cane toads, but Africa has several endemic hemorrhagic fevers. The United States has religious zealots that hold signs on street corners that say' God hates f**s*, but parts of the Middle East have religious zealots that blow up buildings.

Haiti has been hit pretty hard... by everything, and the recession hasn't exactly been kind there either.

The fundamentals in the ME have started before the recession, circa 1950s I believe. And same goes for Africa. Either way, even when USA and Europe and everyone else come out of debt, unless they find a cure for AIDS, that continent's pretty much fucked.

The recessions in Europe and the United States are caused by different problems, so I wouldn't really combine them together into "the recession."
|
Recession wise i think USA has been hit the hardest.
EU covers so much i dont think its fair to group them all into one lump of "problems"
|
I imagine USA would be if we don't count north korea. I'm ignorant to Europe's problems though.
|
I want to know why the highest vote is Russia?

Fuck keynes and people who consider continous government expending is any good for anyone. Same happened before WWI, after WWII and nobody seems to care to keep doing the same because it is popular to artificially boost ur GPD while in office.

pretty bad choice of title considering it's about money. Being that is the case , 3rd world countries have always had it worse, failed businesses in the west mean fuck all, at least they can afford food or have the government give them free food.
This is a regular occurrence and it is heavily due to the people behind the curtain, most people just believe it was a few factors but there is a bigger story people seem un-aware of but then I guess that labels me a conspiracy guy , which is fine and is why I usually stay away from posting in threads which are lacking in common sense.
Let's have another global warming care bare thread to top it all off.

you're kidding right?
anyway, all I can speak on is from my perspective is Michigan is really bad. Some people have gotten their jobs back but its very hard to find new jobs and I dont believe things are on the upswing. It seems like people are just buying cars atm but pretty soon that will stop.

Oh man. Detroit. When I think about the American recession, I immediately think of Detroit, and how much of a ghost town it has become in the past 10 years.

It's been 20. The thing is, the recession that most of the country faced a couple years ago hit Michigan about 15 years before, and it still hasn't improved dramatically. I don't know what the numbers were this past year, but a couple of years ago we were neck and neck with Louisiana in terms being at the bottom of economic growth (this was a year or two after Katrina) and the following year they were ahead of us. ><

The U.S is fine. As long as everybody else keeps believing in our imaginary money we'll continue being fine.
But seriously. People in the U.S & China & Europe all pretty much have clean water and food. In Africa, a lot pretty much don't. Therefore, Africa>all

I think that the moon have been hit the hardest by the recessions, tourism have dwindled to nothingness and it haven't seen any kind of economic growth in years!

Nothings changed here in canada. Spending might be cut a bit, but for the most part I dont have a problem finding a job. Works still here. Moneys still good.
