Economy in my area seems to be holding fast jobs wise. We're heavily dependent on tourism and the military spending. Tourism has actually increased recently probably partially due to worldwide tourism. Military spending is holding fast.
Businesses are still holding on, many still losing money. No drastic increases of empty storefronts, although there is a lot of movement with businesses shutting down and others taking their places. Helps that the official unemployment rate is maybe 66% of the national unemployment rate. Lots of people I know are paycheck to paycheck though, as families are still coping with furloughs, layoffs, and wage freezes. Nothing new there though.
Use colloidal silver solution instead of deodorant - it's safer and more effective.Quote:

I walked about 2 miles today to a store and back. I passed by three sporting goods stores (none of them big names), and two of them were out of business. The closings looked recent - the signs were not faded, everything was clean, etc.
I got really excited when I saw that there was sushi restaurant within walking distance, until I saw the "Closed" sign. It looks like that restaurant was open yesterday.
sushi store probably doesn't open until 5 PM. It's a cultural thing, the good sush no open till 5 or 6, otherwise screw you. We have plenty customers.
NPR was running a story this morning about cotton prices raising 50%. The gist of the story was: buy your cotton goods NOW. For next week the prices will be higher. Stores are opting to either a:) raise prices or b:) not stock as many cotton products.
Got socks, jeans, linens, et al?

The local Lucky grocery store weekly ad cam out - it offered
"Buy one pack of Oscar Mayer Bacon (various weights) get One Free!"
"Woo-hoo" time to load up on salted pork products!
I get to the store and sure enough, there's the packages of lovely salted fat - oh, but the price -
$7.99 a pound! (oddly, about twice the current gouging rate here).
The bastards are offering "buy one, get one free" only after doubling the price!
Here is the $6 deodorant I use... http://www.greenbeaverus.com/body/de...eoodorant.html

One of the signs of a zinc deficiency is general b.o. coupled with stinky 'pits and paradoxically a reduced ability to smell.
