The economy sucks and according to the article I read this morning the financial sector is the worst it has been since the 1930’s. Yesterday I talked to some people online again who are today hoping to get to their banks and pull all of their money out. I kept telling them this is a bad idea, the last thing we need is a run on the banks. That is one of the things that caused the great depression. If that had not happened we may not have had that issue.

Right now the banks that are failing excluding the one a few months ago, are all investment banks that are effected by the housing crisis. Banks that have personal checking and saving accounts are fine and will be fine if we don’t do a run on banks. Personal bank accounts have up to $100,000 insured if you have more then that put anything over that into another account in your kids name or something if your worried about it, or you can give it to me! I wouldn’t mind that.

I really just hope people will take a look back at what caused the problems to start the great depression and learn from it. There are many similarities between the 20’s and the 90’s that make you think. Of course with the way most people are, I’m lucky if those reading this know what the great depression was let alone what caused it. If you don’t check out this site What Caused the Great Depression. It’s a read but you will really see how similar the situations are and hopefully learn what we need to do as normal people to keep things going. Also you’ll learn how the government has things in place to help us.

In a few of my classes we have been talking about how important it is to have good interior design in drug treatment centers. If you think about it the center needs to have a calming effect so that people are less likely to go crazy because of withdraws. It makes sense to me as I have seen a few people do very strange things when trying to kick the drug addiction.

I think this is one reason I try not to take to many pills at once. I don’t’ want to have to go though that. Many people are telling me to check out pills for my depression and I have considered it. I just really would like to be off of a few before I add more. I don’t think I would get addicted to anything as I’m not the type, but you never know. For anyone still worried about me, if I start to get worse I promise I will get on pills. Right now I’m trying something else. Someone told me to get outside more as sunshine helps make you happy, so I took the dog for a 20 minute walk since I’m trying to lose weight also. I think I’m going to do it again tomorrow I’m in a great mood right now!
