No, we're just asthmatic from breathing all the insulation dust that falls out of the ceiling when our mothers stomp on the floor to let us know dinner is ready.

It's really any kind of truck that hauls heavy and/or oversized loads that do damage to our roads, daily.

The small concrete plant up the street from me, which is built right off a highway has destroyed the local 2-lane roads leading to it, not to mention all those around it, just because they wanted to catch a piece of the housing boom and be in a locale to do so.

The business a few miles on down the highway that offers roll-away dumpsters and flatbed equipment hauling, the same thing, for the same reason.

The fuel distribution center nearby, etc.. the list goes on and on.

In the past 12 months over 50 businesses in my county alone have closed. The county I live in is a fringe county on the edge of a large metro area and 50 businesses equal, more or less, 1/10th of all the businesses in my local area. This is a dire situation here and it's only going to get worse.

If you guys thought the banking failure was bad, you haven't seen anything yet because we're about to go into phase two. Phase two is going to be watching the retail house of cards we've built here in the US come tumbling down around us in the next 12-18 months.

This is from the Wal-Mart economy we have now, which is best described as, you work at the Wal-Mart and you shop at the Wal-Mart. Has no one stopped to think what happens when the Wal-Marts all start shutting down?

And I'm not talking about the wal-mart company specifically but the whole culture of building so many stores that when the credit gets squeezed and those who were keeping the stores in the black start to hole up in their financial bunkers, that the rest of America, who has no choice but to work retail, cannot sustain itself.

This isn't exciting, this isn't humbling, this isn't no fucking state of mind. What this is is going to be downright horrifying when the next wave of people to be laid off along with all the other companies who are tightening their belts, can no longer find jobs or pay for their homes.

Damn I stepped on my dick, they made 12Km before calling it quits, 6.7Km is the depth they were finding fossils where they didn't expect it.
