Just wondering where all the “Bring it on people” are at

[quote=peterb]I heard on the radio a few days ago that the biggest Italian car dealer in the USA closed-up shop. They were in OC and I think it was a Lamborgini shop. The super wealthy can weather just about any storm and not change their life style one iota. But there are about 10,000 of them in the US. So unless they are a client for whatever you happen to provide, you’re probably not outta the woods. Too bad they dont all live in the same town.[/quote]

It’s not that simple. Dealerships survive on open credit to take on inventory. Some dealerships are getting squeezed by the credit crunch. And yes, it was the Lambo dealer in OC. Hence, why we’re going to see a lot more dealers go under or close shop.

[quote=SD Realtor]Now that we are starting to roll downhill, I am curious about the previous posters who boldly posted about thier personal anticipation of a recession, large layoffs, and the pain train coming.

Now that we have people posted about friends and loved ones being laid off, it doesn’t seem to be so much fun anymore.

Perhaps the realization that NO JOB is safe at this point is starting to become evident.

Recessions and depressions are really not that much fun no matter how much we all want housing to go down. [/quote]

As a realtor, I guarantee you’ve played a much bigger part in bringing about this disaster than some random cheerleader on a message board. How do you sleep at night?

[quote=EconProf]The safe jobs are, generally speaking, in government. All levels, state, local, federal, military, are virtually immune to the tribulations the private sector employees are about to go through. During the Great Depression, government employees were the lucky ones.
Let’s not hear any more whining by public employee unions about their relative misfortune.[/quote]

Did you not hear about the U.S. Postal Service plan to lay off 40,000 people?

I have a feeling that this is going to get really bad. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll experience something like the Great Depression of 1929 as opposed to the Panic of 1873.
