This is a question The Credit Crunch

Did you score a bargain in Woolworths?
Meet someone nice in the queue to withdraw your 10p from Northern Rock?
Get made redundant from the job you hated enough to spend all day on b3ta?

How has the credit crunch affected you?

It may take a while to adjust though
Awesome point but..

1. We have an economy based on "Ancient Sunlight" (or fossils fuels as they are more commonly known). It's all based on using resources laid down over millions of years in a few decades or centuries (http://www.thomhartmann.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=197&Itemid=102). This has given us the quick win of no sustainability.

2. The worlds economy (or at least in the west) is based on consumption/in built obsolescence/buy-replace that will take a while to adjust.

I really hope it will adjust.
