Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 444032, member: 6036"]That's hard to say. The credit crunch has hit Europe worse than the US.  I think "just wait" is very good advice. Yes, it's true... major problems don't get sorted out fast. But neither does major productivity vanish overnight. And America has the highest "value add per worker" of any nation in the world... over $70,000 / year. We've seen major moves up and down for a very long time. Some of us still remember the 1987 CRASH which was screamed about so loudly. And yet most of somehow survived that. In fact, most are thriving. Right now. Today. Thriving. I am, and everyone I know is. Interesting that Americans have a very high standard of living - so high we can afford luxuries like expensive coins - and still have such negative attitudes. So yes... "just wait" is very good advice. :thumb: Just like it was good advice during the hysteria of 1970s Global Cooling, the 1987 CRASH , the 1990s dotcom  CRASH , and now the latest hysterical CRASH . Just wait. This, too, shall pass.[/QUOTE]
