There is no indication of inflation???
Do you go to the grocery store or a gas station? Have you paid any
"fuel surcharges" lately? The falling dollar is going to make that a
lot worse since we import most of our hard goods these days.
As for malaise, have you read any of Bob's posts. That is one
depressed man.
Maybe he read the Daily Beast article about the worst 10 college
degrees you can seek, based on what you can expect to earn.
"Chemistry" is #9.
It was in Newsweek this week (the one with the royals on the cover)
Aside from gas prices, nothing much is happening, and even those are
likely temporary. Of course, for you, the sky is continually falling.
I hope you haven't made any plans for after May 21st.
Now you're claiming that because one person complains, therefore,
there is a general malaise. Whatever.
