how is the economy effecting you?

Ah, the Germans have 10% of their total workforce being doctors, and so that economy is pretty stable, and thus they buy our cheese, tomatos and cucumbers, so no worries here in the Netherlands too. Except... some wacky things can happen with the new government being created right now. They have some strange plans that might affect stability.

CheffoJeffo:
Maybe his wife isn't the primary breadwinner ...  ::)

WhereEaglesDare:
maybe its easier to collect the unemployment check...

NOT POINTING FINGERS, I dont know you or your wife, but I have known a few people that had jobs lined up that "paid less than their unemployment" so they didn't want to take the job.  Someone mentioned earlier that they didnt have unemployment in the depression, but perhaps it is just making today's problem worse.

Sorry if it seemed like I was being accusatory...

saint:
Wow, what a bunch of judgment going in here... Picking up and moving isn't always that easy, particularly if you own a home.  Remind me to watch out when you guys are near a pile of rocks...

Guess it's easier to sit and wait.

Well, we own a home on acreage that we can never sell for what it's actually worth, family in the area, kids in school, and while things are now tighter, she doesn't need to work.

Nice.  She left her position voluntarily so that the employees under her would be able to keep their jobs and insurance.  Sounds like you need to hang out with a better class of loser, Skippy.
