You guys bitch about the pound falling, but it is still worth more than the dollar! Over here, people are making less on average, and it is worth less money, on top of expenses increasing faster than inflation and greater than exchange rate changes. Right now, I'm making $2 less an hour than I was a few years ago, having to drive further to get that (45 miles each way), and gas is more than twice what it was (for a while it was quadruple). I got knocked back to minimum wage, which currently is below poverty level, and one of the ones that is happy to just have a job. Ok, enough ranting from me, shit sucks everywhere. But hey, remember it could always be worse, so lets be thankful for what we do have.
Right now, I'm thankful to have good stuff to read.
