Global Economic Meltdown
Posted by in World Economics
In a nutshell, what’s your general take on all the talk about a global economic meltdown?
Some questions to spark responses—add to/omit as you see fit:
Do you see any “spiritual significance” in any of it?
Do you think it is inevitable?
Are you confident it won’t happen?
Do you even think about it much?
Does it trouble you? Yes? No? Don’t care?
Would you be affected either way?
Is it all bullocks (sp?)/ hogwash?
Another Y2K frenzy of fear?
Is it part of a grand conspiracy of creating false panic?
Thanks for your input
I think it won’t happen. It wouldn’t affect me too much if it did, though.
It’s bollocks, btw.
