have to do with the subject?

Personally my family is already feeling the financial strain. In winter we can't afford to keep our thermostat on 70 because our gas bill gets too high if we do we usually keep at between 60-65. I try to save a little money by walking places or taking a moped instead of a car in town. My little brother and sister are starting school soon and as much as paying for public school is getting ridiculous we're sending them to private school because the public school in this area is shall we say not up to par. On top of that we end up supporting other members/friends of the family who need it at the time. So given all this I don't know if we can make it in a recession....I own my own business and i really don't want to have to sell but if I'm not making enough money i might have to. I frequently worry about my family's money issues but it's clear that many others do not. Where will gaia be in a recession? Who will have the time or money to worry about it? if i have to get a second job (which i might) i probably wont be on gaia so much...if at all...

Edit:
I'm a little disappointed in many of my fellow gaians for not taking this seriously.

"WTF Robo"
Statement-
Negative. The human monetary system is soon to be a thing of the past!
We robots need no income, or financial system. However if we were in fact to somehow decide that the barter system is not adequate enough, I think human skulls would become the newest form of currency.

Query-
After all, who would want to trade for anything else?

Secondary Statement-
I myself have quite a collection of human bones, particularly skulls. All of these were owned by my previous enemies. However I managed to liberate the brain cases from them while they slept.
I have also recently heard a rumor of a late night robot TV show, wherein robots take skulls and "battle" them against each other. Each skull has an element, an attack rating, and a defense rating. Its really quite interesting, as their goal is to "collect 'em all". Each of these skulls have a personality and name (my favorite is Skull-tasoar).There is even rumor of a card game. Either way the marketing of the show itself could pull your country out of whatever financial slump it is in. Robot marketing is HUGE.


In the end I think skull collecting and trading is a wonderful hobby and a far more wonderful financial system. At least human skulls will have ONE use.

you shall have to kill me first.......
     
a common mistake that people make when trying to make something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
eh.....
