So I've been hearing about how bad it is. That the economy is as bad as it has ever been since the Great Depression. Now I know there are people out there hurting since they are out of work. I have been there and I feel their pain.
However I think many people feel the pinch just because they have been told there is a pinch. Some people feel strapped when it comes to many things, but not so strapped that they can't buy a piece of garbage digital camcorder from QVC.
Carrie likes to watch QVC, it gives her the joy of shopping without going places and hurting her back or spending money. I was reading a book while she was watching and QVC was selling digital camcorders that you couldn't even use to take still pictures. They honestly looked like junk and they sold for $120.00 each.
Over the course of 15 minutes QVC sold 10,000 of these, they completely sold out. Simple math here:
10,000 junk camcorders times $120.00 each (disregarding shipping and taxes) = 1.2 million dollars spent on garbage in 15 minutes.
Feel the "pinch."

Yeah, I've been feeling bothered by how often the current recession keeps getting lumped in with the Great Depression. It can't be that bad given that it's not like the average American is eating cat food, stealing scrap wood to burn for heat, and setting up Hoovervilles across the nation...yet.
