it's amazing how quickly the
economy tanking has seeped into
our cultural fabric
first of course it was all over the news
and i do think that made a very bad situation into a terrible situation
by stirring up the fear factor
but now what i have been noticing more and more
are the commercials..
the other day i listened to a radio ad for business suits
and the voice said
"i just lost my job, but i know if i go here I'll get a great suit to interview in for very little money!"
target's adds show how you can save the money on manicures
by buying nail polish at target and having your hubby do the manicure
fast food restaurant chains galore
are hawking economy buster meals
its seems like overnight
i never hear food talked about in food commercials
or clothes in clothing commercials
its all about money
i miss hearing food commercials talk about food!
bars in my hood now showcase recession cocktail signs 2 for 1
its just every where
completely entrenched in our every day life
so that even if you have managed to somehow
get thru this recession/depression so far
without losing money
you are losing quality in your every day life
and if you have lost money..you are reminded of it
every time you turn on the radio, tv or pick up a paper
i look forward to the time in the future
hopefully not too long from now
when we all sit around congratulating ourselves that we are well past the
depression culture of the 2008-09
i must say obama's speech to congress the other night
did inspire me
i do feel that if anyone has the energy
and open-mindedness to do something about this mess he can
i just hope that from all this strife
comes good will
a better way of living
a real change for all of us
so that not only will the money come back
but so will our faith
in each other
