I’ve been hearing this from my friends, but is it true that America’s suffering from a financial crisis?

It’s not awful but it’s on the decline. If it continues at that rate for a few more years we may end up worse of than the great depression of the 30s and 40s.

It’s pretty bad the way it is now. A teenager can’t even get out and live on their own anymore. You can’t pay for food and gas with a minimum wage job anymore. That is... If you can even get a job.

I was just now looking at a gas 'snapshot' for Alabama. The current average in Alabama is $4.05 a gallon. Whereas a year ago it was $2.66. Pretty shitty.

Canada is looking better and better each day. Hell, their economy is better!

Did you guys know that some guy in Europe invented an electric car that charges itself as you drive it (through static electricity and convection) and can maintain highway speeds for up to 2 hours at a time... A car that would probably only cost the consumer about $15,000 to purchase. One that’s about the size of your average mid-size family car?

But the governments wouldn’t allow him to sell it?

Well, in my opinion, it’s our infrastructure as a whole. Too much driving + crappy public transportation. I live in Baltimore and so many people living in B-more commute to the D.C area and visa versa. Live where you work, reduces the cost.

I just moved to a place 4 blocks from where I work so I can walk. My girlfriend, by moving in, reduced her commute from 30 minutes to 10. It ads up, saving time and money.

But everyone can’t afford to move, to reduce cost.

A man in Australia made an engine that ran on water in his garage. Yes, water, strait from the garden hose or kitchen sink. But the government didn’t like that.

The whole world is corrupt.

This is true. However for me I was paying a lot for this one place to live in by myself. So moving in with my gf and our friend pretty much cut my rent in half.
