Brian,
I sincerely hope that your encouragement will preserve your way of
life, your family and it overcomes the shortage of oil drills and the
energy related problems.
Financial crisis is a short chapter. Capitalism will survive one way
or another. Economic's bill for the world's citizens will be
expensive. US people is not at the best place.
Hope is normal for human being, however real stories are stronger than
fiction.
The life conditions will change very quickly. And the life goes on.
Nobody knows exactly the next chapter, the Yuki's fears are a free
variant of her/his own feelings, they are not ridiculous.
I don't know what will happen, I am supposing hard time rather to be
blindly optimistic.
Wait and see
Best Regards
