As this is a hot topic daily, not only in the stock markets but everyone's personal and professional life, how do you feel right now in the current economic climate?
How is it affecting you personally, do you have family or friends affected by it(job cuts), what about your neighborhood? Things like that.
I would also like to know if people personally notice if units they purchase now days are the same size in packaging but have less product in them?
For instance, a bag of chips, it will still be it's normal weight in grams, say 60grams, but when you pop the bag open, there is maybe 10-15 chips in the bottom... things like that.
Have you noticed any food or beverage products use the same packaging but there seems to be a bit less product there.
We know that the employment #'s are bad, so let's not debate that, as it is not pretty and a very unfortunate situation for a huge number of people now.
What makes it even scarier in my eyes is that even the people that still have jobs are getting less then what they used to for the same amount of money.
But in reality, it's because the buying power of said money(sum), has decreased so therefore so does the amount of product for said price, to account for this.
It may not be the most interesting topic on everyone's minds on a friday night, but I use time like this to catch up on reading and I must say that it is very scary at how things are looking for the future.
What are you thoughts? please share.
