Cash in your mattress time...

I was kind of surp'ised today, or the weekend, I can't remember which, to read that "America" had agreed to bail out the world, at a cost of $700bn. "Fair play", I hazarded. Now that isn't happening I do wonder where our world is going; I wonder where we will all be in a year's time, without the mighty guiding force that is the US. And I figure I don't really have a clue, and I don't really have a say: I realise I am one of the dictated-to, the told-how.

We all need to start growing our own vegetables/screaming/drinking heavily.

Am I really going to see the difference - to feel the difference?

very likely, in fact you are probably already feeling the difference.

I worked for Wachovia last year - is it fucked?

I think Citigroup swallowed them up today (don't quote me on that) - so they should expect the usual culling of jobs, share prices will be massively down (might even be a minimal/£1 payout per share kind of set up) so people will loose a ton of money etc etc.
