02/04/2013 - UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN 1

Sup, niggas.
(This question is rhetorical.)

I'm hearing an awful lot of BS about The Economic Downturn atm.
From what I understand, the economy is 'fucked'. 

#confused about the general situation, and my place in it all.

This is the 1st part of a __ part series investigating the The Economic Meltdown. I just want everyone to be at ease, not to panic, and to fully understand the ramifications of the Financial Crisis.

"We can all get through this,
without having to riot in the streets.
Changing your profile picture should be enough." - A Haiku / Appeal For Calm ©

There's a lot of really heavy concepts and thoroughly confusing words being 'tossed' around. Recession / Dow Jones / Double Dip / Triple Dip / Bank Run / 10p Tax Outrage / Mansion Tax / NASTAC / Bankers Bonuses / Poland / Board of Directors / ? 

Eff.
Feeling dizzy just trying to get my head around all of those situations.



Anyways, now does this situation relate to us (as savvy internet content consumers making our way in today's modern world)?

On my travels across the internets, I 'came' upon this:



"Prices are on the rise.
Got to cut back,
on the little luxuries.
Tighten our belts. Get back to basics. Get metaphorically lean." - A Haiku ©

As you can clearly see, prices keep on rising to such great heights. 
It seems like the only thing that I actually 'care' about on this list of 'stuff' is the broadband internet connection. 
Oddly enough though, this is the only thing that's gone down in price.

Sort of feel that the rest of the 'stuff' is 'boring shit'.

Maybe the price-lowering of the internet connection and the price-rising of the other basic utilities is a sign that the government / The Man is trying to make us all 'upload our collective situations' and live online?

As you know, I'm not a scientist, and I'm really just thinking (typing) outloud.

If you could live online post Galactic Economic Downturn what would your ideal situation be:

  • A World of Warcraft?
  • Second Life?
  • Miscellaneous F2P MMO?
  • A life in Sepia (powered by The Instagram)?
  • A life of crime (Peer 2 Peer torrent situation)?
  • A chance to 'cum' (miscellaneous pornographic website)?
  • Being The Lawnmower Man like Pierce Brosnan in the major motion picture - The Lawnmower Man?
  • The quiet life / digital graveyard of a dated Web 1.0 social networking platform like MySpace or Niggas Reunited or Pintrest or Linkedin

Anyways, I think that's probably enough economic doom and gloom for one post.
Let's look to the future.
I'll continue my investigations and get back to you.

In the mean time - just pop a 'chill pill'.
