    I was visiting friends at General Mills in Hannibal MO (Mark Twain’s Boyhood Home) on my return to California two weeks ago. The employees told me that they may start cutting workers hours and even terminating employment if their corporate office gives the go ahead because company profits have declined. This video confirms what they told me already. So many good workers are at real risk of losing their jobs and possibly their cars and homes because of this anemic economy! Sad.

    I'm a consumer and I haven't given up. In fact, nothing has really changed for me. But I may have an advantage because my parents raised me right. I was taught to save a portion of my income, invest wisely...which I have been doing since 1987...and most importantly, live beneath my means.
    Folks today spend an insane amount of money on garbage they can't afford and either put it all on a credit card or a car loan or some other form of credit/debt. And then they bitch about not being to pay it off. They blame everyone but themselves for their idiocy. It's not that tough. Spend less, save more, invest wisely and live just a bit beneath your means.

    I work for General Mills here in Murfreesboro Tn, their biggest loser is Yoplait totally flat for growth no matter what they do along with the blue buffalo crap. The biscuits, cookies especially and cereal are their bread and butter, if things weren't good they would not be expanding lines in my facility and giving us the largest raise as of yesterday anyone has ever seen there. They've only missed on cost since things continually go up for us, waste is a big one also and quality putting things on hold. We missed only in that spot by 2 million over projection at my location. We still also got a good bonus in line with previous years things are just going back to normal, plus they're coming out with a few new products that should be hitting shelves soon. People sometimes don't realize how much they own either and the products that are in their homes, avoiding one thing just to buy another.

    Matt today I was doing Lyft and got two good trips. The last one took me all the way to South Beach, I drove past Washington Ave, which is a very busy street in Miami Beach from Lincoln Rd. towards 5th Ave. an stretch of about one and a half mile. It was DEAD, I mean less than 300 people altogether.
    Just as deserted as it becomes when a hurricane is about to hit. It was depressing. I had to drive a distance of about 20 miles back home without calls of any type and it was raining. People are simply NOT CONSUMING!😮
