How's That Recovery Comin?

[randallscott35]

Anecdotes are important.

My dad's barber has been cutting hair for 42 years. He cuts everyone from janitors to executives in all lines of work. He said he "has never seen it this bad." There wasn't one person doing well. Not one person saying business or work is better than a year ago or even remotely similar to 5 years ago. How can that be in a recovery? Surely someone has to be doing well...Unless no one is. Unless you were lied to or refused to see the writing on the wall paper that they tried to use to make it look better. But the rot is pervasive, and the people have woken up, slower than I could have imagined, to the fact that no one is coming to save them.
