Well us here on Australian shores haven't really suffered the full effects yet, compared to Europe and the United States anyway, hence I am not too concerned. What is everyone thoughts on the stimulus packages that have been passed by both Australia and the United States? Good way to combat the recession?

In Puerto Rico, we have suffered of this global recession. Mainly our economy depends of USA, for being an island things from USA are more expensive because they use ship or plane to transport.
The Answer is Yes.... I am scared. I hope this improve soon.

Nah  . I think it's hilarious how (especially the British Labour Party) were so blinded by getting voted back in for another term, they let the economy slip into total freefall. Luckily I'm not effected by it at all, so I laugh at them for being so stupid. |

The Answer is Yes.... I am scared. I hope this improve soon. What line of work are you in ovo? Is it effected by the recession? I am Electrical Engineer, I am consultor (providing service to Private and Goverment), so I work with maintenance, testing equipment such as pump, instrument blah blah. So if people dont buy new equipment or therefore... less work. less contract. less everything |

The ones that contain more pages than the bible, more languages than my old German teacher and more gibberish than...again...the bible? How dare you?! Get out of my face!  |

We can't seem to have a balance between manuals. They are either God awful confusing with copious amounts of jargon, or they have no words and weird pictures, i.e. Ikea. We can put a man on the moon but we can't have easy to understand appliance manuals. What is the world coming to? |

It's been like this for as long as anybody can remember. Even when the third wise man handed over some myrrh to Jesus, it came with a huge manual on how to use it.
You should have seen the one we got for our new freezer the other day. Jesus. I thought you unpack the freezer, move it to where you want it to be and plug it in. But apparently not, according to this 150+ page marathon of a manual.
