    Holy Jebus. Also, you know it's bad when you receive aid from Cuba and Venezuela, instead of the other way around.

    Is that because it's bad or because people like free stuff?

    we have bad time here too... people are starting to save money on their food, and are ending up eating the cheapest food... many reach the markets at their closing time to get cheap vegetables close to rotting to save money.

    it's time for people to stop spending more than they earn. banks should start choosing who to grant their loans seriously.

    we already knew, but bad times are ahead.

    People like free stuff, especially when it is pricey 'organic' food.

    ASSEMbler, people just like free stuff. When my dads company has a thing where they give away free promotional crap, he says that like 100 old guys show up not intended to buy shit, they just want the free sodas and free hats.

    People just like free stuff. Free food? Why not. My family isn't struggling but on election day my school had free soda and hot dogs. I got some. Why the fuck not?

    I'll have to see how much it is here now...I didn't even know it was less. I guess people don't say anything unless it's bad.

    Yeah, America is still America...life goes on...

    Man...people love something free though.

    My mom's office had a fairly decent desk that they wanted to get rid of...as it was her company's she couldn't sell it for profit...so...they had me put it on craigslist...for free.

    Hundreds and hundreds of emails in such a short time. If you're ever feeling lonely, post a half decent for free item on craigslist...and then get ready to read all of the crazy, poorly written emails...(Including emails that try and convince you to give it to person X because Y) Fun!

    Speaking of Gas, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but why did the price take a HUUUUGE plummet?

    You'd think with the Holidays it would skyrocket already.

    people like free stuff, guaranteed.

    i had something for sale on a german forum worth around 15 euro, put it up for 10. it did not sell for two weeks.

    but when i wrote "postage and its yours" i got a bunch of PMs.

    Well the world is in the biggest crisis in the last 70 years, something like this was ought to happen somewhere.

    But I agree with the others, people love free stuff.

    Oil going from $150 a barrel to $50 rings a bell?
