Reply #46: I think we at DU just wanna be ahead of the curve.

We get the news a day or two before it appears in the paper. It hits the tv sooner of course, but doesn't get discussed in depth (unless it's something as unimportant as, say, a governor caught in a sex scandal). So we're really sending out constant feelers trying to find out whether this impending recession/depression is real, what it might entail, how it might affect us personally - hoping to get some kind of inside info that just might give us a leg up on the rest of the people around us. It's only natural.
