Oh, I’m not looking for why I was laid off. I’m looking at the experiences of many Americans, and many other people worldwide. This recession is going to hurt, and some companies are going to have to borrow so much more than they can pay back just to exist after the illness passes.
It's the knock-on effect that I'd worry about. We immediately cut all of our luxury spending, canceled our wine club subscriptions and gym memberships and started buying boxed wine and lifting weights in the garage again... we're not sure yet if we'll go back to those things when this is all over.
