Worthless dollar!
 

What the fuck are you guys doing over there?!

Put Clinton back on plz :1orglaugh

I still get 100 pennies for every one . . . what is the problem?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbsup

Pity you don't appear to have a clue of reality, else you would never had typed such crap baddog :)

how many of these threads are we going to have today?

The sky is clearly falling and we're all about to be homeless.

Or so I hear.

Looks like we have a number of posters that are as bored as I am. :)

It sucks for us European webmasters.

Few years ago we would get €100 for each $100.

Nowdays is about €75 for every 100 bucks we make :(

word! :thumbsup

Word? If you are in Thailand you get a small village and 3 elephants for $100.

The dollar will come back siin IMHO :)

Sign me up!

It's probably gonna take some financial catastrophy for it to sort itself out.

$1,000 used to = £730 ish for me a couple of years or so ago.

Now

$1,000 gets me about £520...

It's a bit wank. But hey, keep building your businesses. At least if you visit the US it'll be like living as a king.

ive taken a 40% paycut over the last few years :(

Yeah kill them all

"If I had a million dollars...I'd be rich."

You tell me.... 30% drop this year already....

It sucks...

:(

it sucks...

I get 111 pennies each one so i'm not complaining yet :thumbsup

But on a serious note, it has been tanking pretty bad... In the US you'll have higher inflation, the rest of the world will see the results during currency exchange.

Yeah but a couple of years ago I could've almost bought two small villages and 6 elephants for $100 :pimp

Fuck yeah, love that $2 to every pound!

When I was a kid the pound was worth $7 I think (I seem to recall it being $14, but my memory is fading on that topic).

come on dollar!

Sheesh... your memory is foul baddog.

When you were a kid the Pound was worth around $2 ish - not $7 or $14.

GBP was worth $4 in the 40's and the UK Govt devalued the Pound in the late 40's/early 50's which brought it in line with being worth $2 ish.

Yeah good joke indeed but actualy no happy news for you ....
The worlds economy leader going down - pretty far from being worlds numero uno

Reality is that people in the US don't really care... and as long as you work on your business, and make more and more money each month, you really could care less about what the exchange rate is...

If they don't care, why do they talk shit and make statements without any foundation? Forgot.. it's GFY :)

Sure.. can see a few don't care, tho defense of ignorance by saying people in the US don't care is like that ostrich sticking it's head in the sand woj. It's almost like saying I'm deep in debt, but don't want to look at the extent of the damage as long as the sun shines that day and VISA never terminated the credit card.

Agree that it's more important to plough ahread and earn - as long as the earnings are real money and not being faked up by falling currency values which everyone pays for in the end.

too complicated for US people man - don't waste your time here with this

Fuck yeah, Thailand bound!! :pimp

I think a better analogy would be: You live in alaska and you complain and start threads on gfy that there are only 2 hours of daylight everyday. Things are just the way they are and there isn't much you can do about it, so why worry about it? :) I guess I might be wrong, and there might be something I can do to help resolve this global economic problem. Can you offer some tips on what I can do to help solve this worldwide problem?

hey freedom has a price

i mean we have to sacrafice for freedom

we cant gamble online either anymore

because we are the freest place on earth

george bush is the MAN!

horrrrrrayyyyyyy!

All I know is that it fucking sucks traveling abroad compared to 5 years ago because of the exchange rate.

Never started any thread about the US dollar value on GFY and can't say I'm complaining about it either woj.

It's not so much a global economic problem as a dropping US currency valuation and where that will aid an already high level of national debt and pressure the dollar even lower. It's not my job to solve US economic problems - others are paid/elected to do this.

The primarly people who will affected are US folks - and they will be left to pay the bill for the management (or lack of it) on the economic front and currency exchange. (OK.. some webmasters will also be affected, but that's very small beans in comparison with the overall and, only my :2 cents:, but suspect there will be changes in processing to reflect par values from nations which loss eg 30-40% of their currency value).

About 3-4 years ago we did do something about it (it was only a matter of time and the writing was on the wall already) and, for example, have variable pricing for paysites. Whether it's the US or any other country, we are not a charity org or national bankers, - if anyone wants membership, they pay at the going rate and on par with whatever their currency value is. If the Euro has a crap value, the price goes up for signup pages in Euros - if the Dollar sinks, the price goes up to reflect the exchange rate.

Sure.. there can be a degree of hassle operating on that basis, but at least gives a level of stability - and generally it appears to earn around 30% more operating along the lines of the "Big Mac Index" and more than covers the hassle factor.

One thing that is certain - you can have total confidence in other nations, including China, pricing their exports to the US to reflect the real worth of the dollar - and that ain't good news.

What use is the dollar if they have been devastated by a nuclear strike?

Europeam webmasters should be paid in Euro :)

How much is a loaf of bread these days in the U.S. ? or a gallon of milk?

I could get white bread for $1 or less and a gallon of milk for $2 when I left eight years ago.

i hope the US dollar goes back up!...then my checks will be worth more :)
