good read, I read a very similar articles about a week ago and it really dug deep into the ripple effects.
Example thats close to home..... good ol John thats got a job as a tool maker in mom and pops oil tooling company for the last few yrs came down to big lake or venice 2 or 3 times a year and hired a guide to fish. Well mom and pop have had to cut back due to the demand for their tooling has been cut by 20% or more, so mom and pop cut back 30% this means good ol John just lost his 30$ an hr job and has to decide to either make his truck payment or hire a fishing guide . So now the guide is having to cut back on his expenses due to lack of customers, so no new boat for the guide next yr. Boat production goes down this means good ol mike now at the boat plant has too look for a new job . Now that there isn't as many workers at the boat plant the food truck that came by at break time isnt coming by, food truck guy is loving the cheap gas but dosent understand why he is losing customers.... its gets crazy stupid .
