I keep hearing about America's economic crisis. How they've traded with virtual capitals that in the end never existed and thus... the world is now facing a second Wall Street collapse. Which means pretty much the rest of the world is FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond Any Recognition). I hear about it at every. Bloody. Lesson.

I had this dream. I finish PR, start working, put aside some money (I'm actually really good at saving and being rational with it) and then buy myself a course of English and Creative Writing at Cambridge. With a little help and my mom's connections, I could probably manage it. But now, if what they're saying is true... (actually, the alternative was marrying, having 5 kids and writing fanfiction all my life anyway, so I guess I'll live).

The casinos that were the light of my town are doing really bad. I talked with my mate today and he said that they're firing workers and hiring students instead because students aren't protected with law enforcement all that much and minimum wages, so they can be paid as much as the company offers, period. Which is 7€ (= 9$ = 6£) x hour max, it being a night shift and weekend.

But hiring students and paying them less means consequentially less tax to the country, who has to feed and dress the rest of the fired working class. Which then means less social insurance, less regulations and less security for everybody.

Like I said. FUBAR.

I wish I knew who was the bastard that started this. I hope they choke themselves to death on their cocktail that they're now having on a beach in Hawaii. No, scratch that. That would never weight out all the lives this is gonna ruin...
