The Underground Economy
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
As they say: A recession is when your neighbor gets laid off, and a depression is when YOU get laid off. No, ‘Pup’s job is safe (as far as we know), but our neighbor? Well, it’s our recession and his depression.
The good thing is that he does have some arrows in his quiver. First, he’s in good shape, smart (he learned to build a fence by taking apart the ones Ike blew down), he’s not afraid to work hard, and he’s got a family behind him 100%.
He’s made his living rebuilding transmissions, working under automotive lifts, and getting dirty. He knows how to figure things out and I think…he’ll be okay. The shop he had worked for went under, but fixing cars is going to be a lot more popular than buying new ones for a while, and I know he’ll find another shop who needs someone with his skills.
