Quote from Clubber Lang:
BLSH,
I have been saying on here since April that things in the NYC area were pretty much back to normal.
I continue to believe that this "worst recession in 70 years" nonsense is-
1) Mostly just in the rust belt, California, and parts of the South West and Florida where condo flipping became all the rage.
2) Hyped beyond belief by the mainstream media.
I just don't see any signs of recession where I live, and it's been like this since the spring.
Sure it could get a little "scary" again (like it was from September through February last year). Alot of people I know were fearful of losing their jobs or taking paycuts, but none of that ever materialized.
Sorry if it doesn't jive with your point of view, but it's the way it is in the NYC area.
