The business next door to where we work has been closed for about six months. A few weeks ago I heard a rumor that the business on our other side is shutting down. And this morning I heard (from our boss, who heard it from one of the principals involved) that the business across the street from us is considering closing. They're a computer reseller that focuses on equipping school systems and so far this year they've signed one contract. All of their employees have already taken pay cuts. If sales haven't picked up come July, they too will go out of business.

This whole economy mess is so scary, and I worry about it a lot. I don't think I'm in too much danger of losing my job, because I work in a hospital and there are always sick people, unfortunately. Also, I have a lot of seniority. Of course, no one can consider their job perfectly safe. I hope you and your family will be okay.

But mostly, I worry about what this is doing to the whole world in general. It takes a long time to come back from a serious depression, and also, economic problems create a breeding ground for pogroms and dangerous tyrants and things like that.
