If you think you'll weather out THIS storm that's brewing, just because you don't have any debt, you're missing the scale of the problem.
Millions of Americans who lived in Hoovervilles in the 1920s didn't have dime in debts, either.
They also, through absolutely no fault of their own, also didn't have jobs.
I do not give a damn how clever you think you are, if this thing unravels like it could unravel, damned few of us will be chatting on these boards a year from now.
Even if YOU can afford your internet connection, hundreds of millions of us won't be able to, and guess what?
The few people left standing won't be enough to make it profitable to keep that internet connection alive.
It's time for an editecian adage about the effect on individual concerning macroeconomics:
If your neighbors are getting poorer, you are too.
Your well-being and their well-being are inextricably linked.
Thank you Democrats, Thank you thank you
