>>Those were tough times in Mi. as it looked like the auto industry would be lost to the Japanese. Tell me, age 20....$1.40 gas, 18% interest rates...nobody who graduated from high school had a good job, college was a joke, there were no jobs after college....and you got paid $1.20 an hour if you had a job. We got fucked up a lot back then....but after 8 years of that shit....we learned. We were seasoned if you will give me that, we didn't leave, there were signs and bumper stickers all over the place...would the last one out of Michigan please turn out the lights. I'd like to think I've gained from that experience...ala most of what I read about the World's problems...TO ME...were Michigan in the early 70's. Think about it really.... An economy built around the AutoMobile, and Energy Embargo by OPEC, a Presidential Impeachment in Nixon...run away inflation..and 18+% interest rates...RIGHT HERE AT AGE 20!!!!....THIS SHIT GOING ON TODAY DON'T SCARE ME, WON'T BACK ME DOWN...AND WON'T CHANGE MY MIND. I've been there 25 years ago, this is a mild wet dream....If SOME FUCKERS ARE GETTING YOUR FIRST TASTE OF HARD TIMES..EAT UP....THAT'S LIFE. But this so far is Mild compared to then. IN HARD TIMES YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO....TO SURVIVE...in business, in life....e-comm is now, and will be more so in the future the choice of Business.
