Crazy.
Yep the finacial situation is kinda crazy over here to. I have a friend who owns a carrier/courier business and for the last few months he has lost a lot of work and has laid some of his workers off. He has been in the biz for 14 years and does contract work for some of the big furniture stores over here, he has always had steady work from them as people buy 3 piece suites which he delivers, but he has had no work from them in over a month now and he said he has never seen it so bad, They were also reporting a huge downturn in people buying new cars over here in the UK. I remember the reccession in the 80s over here but this is far worse than anything I have ever seen, kinda scary if you ask me..
