IBM: Lessons from the Great Depression

Whidbey, I have to second that.

In our local paper, the October 10 front page news, ‘Nothing stops stock plunge,’ about the 679 point plunge in the stock market on Oct. 9, was accompanied by ‘They all filled up for $20, and now they’re all wanted,’ and article about ‘possibly hundreds’ of criminals stealing from a local company by participating in a gas card scheme.

Both articles are actually about the same thing: how far we have fallen, and how much farther down we have to go.
