Mo Goya Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 My dad works at lucent, and he has not been laid off yet, he has been working really hard to ensure he does not. I hope he does'nt though. How do you feel about people being laid off and not being able to find a job again? I hope this is not a bad thread like the nonsense ones I made before. Really sorry!!!

Yufster Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Well the economy, uh. Well, the thing about that is, you see.... we forgot to carry the one.... Seriously, the price of a can of coke has gone from 50c to 95c in like two weeks, sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Well in my country, I lost my good paying job not too long after George Bush came in and starting giving money away. 3 years later, I make about 60% less than what I did, I had to move back home, which was a horrible experience, and I drive a Saturn POS, my friend Al, is so broke, he can't afford to pay attention, and talks about it so much, I get sick of talking to him. The economy blows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guybrush122 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Yay! Economics! Sometimes I really wish I could live in Canada, or Australia, or Holland, or Sweden...or somewhere but here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Our economic situation is crap. Especially our exchange rate. $1AUD= $2.50 American or something stupid like that. Although that being the case now is probably a good time to come visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branik Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 1€ is currently about $1.18. That's the thing that causes problems in Europe: Nobody in the USA wants to buy our products 'cause they've become so expensive. Everything from the US is on the other hand cheap here.
