Oh My God!!! Have you all seen the news?
Oh My God!!! Before I forget.
I also heard that gasoline stations are becoming more scarce!!! NO WAY!!! On top of flight cancellations, we have to suffer for gas??? Really??? Is this recession that bad??? I hope the ones setting the gas prices are compassionate enough not to take advantage of the situation and increase prices excessively. Honestly, I think they will though because they know that desperate travelers will be forced to pump gas at any excessive price since they won't have many options. I feel sorry for all these people overspending, but I feel worse for those that are forced to stay home or wherever they are because their lives may encounter changes due to a delay.
So far, I am not prioritizing my needs and wants. I am living my normal life as if there was no recession, but that is because I have great parents who don't worry us with any problems they have. They don't let the rest of the family know their problems because they feel as if those are their problems, not ours, therefore they have to solve them their selves. All they want me to worry about is school and my Senior Activities. If my family and I were to struggle through this recession at a much higher level, I think we would be forced to prioritize the goods and services we utilize. We as a family have never sat down to talk about this, but I think that we would cut down our house phone and keep the cellphones for emergencies, cut down on the wasted electricity, and spend our money wisely by purchasing nothing but the necessary.
I can't believe people are stuck in the airports or in a location away from home due to a natural disaster!!! This is CRAZY!!! I would expect airplanes to fly over anything, but I guess not. :( I don't know what I would do in their situation, but I would sure go NUTS!!!
I think these flight cancellations will bring negative effects in everyone's lives because people will have to wait until the airlines function again or take other methods of transportation. I assume the economy will worsen because everyone will lose money in all areas. Airlines may lose money because only a few people will have the time or patience to wait for a flight therefore may take a train, a car, etc. Even when airlines begin functioning again, they will lose money because the amount of tickets sold may not cover all the expenses they have such as plane maintenance, wages, and bills, especially when they will have to recover from the loses they encountered when their airline wasn't running because bills and wages don't stop. Airlines may have to increase ticket prices or decrease the amount of flights per day because a flight for a few people may not be worth their profit. These changes will affect people because it will cost them more to get to their destination and airlines may not have as many customers as they did the previous months. Those who decided to take other methods of transportation may have a hard time getting to their destination. Many people may be taking the train which may cause tickets to be sold out and others may take their personal cars causing more traffic. Traveling in their personal cars can turn out to be very expensive because they will constantly have to stop, pump gas, and eat along the way depending on the distance. Not only will these methods cost more money, they will cause struggles and will take more time.Oh My God!!! Before I forget.

I hope I never find myself in their situation or with a bad economic status because money may not be everything in life, but it is a big part of my life. I am not rich, but I am pleased. I can't imagine my life without the goods and services I enjoy having such as goods for my hair and face. I don't think I would be able to give anything up, especially not those I use on a daily basis. I think I would go CRAZIER if I had to substitute my supplies with alternative goods and services!!! OH NO!!! :( They are substitutions for a reason!!! I would live a miserable life without my supplies
because I am so used to them, I am a very picky person that is hard to please, and I don't conform to just ANYTHING . I wouldn't mind carpooling with someone to go to school because that is an easy task, but I don't know about walking. Not only am I lazy, but I hate waking up extremely early to be on time since it takes me 30 minutes to walk to and from school. I think my education will be affected because I would be late or absent more often and I wouldn't want my grades to be affected, especially not when I am about to graduate!!! :( YAY!!! Class of 2010. I think walking is a huge sacrifice but it doesn't compare to the sacrifice I would make if I would be missing my hair and face supplies. I would die without them because I don't leave my house until I am ready and I would not be ready without them. As of now I am not prepared to make any changes in my life, or at least not those who will negatively affect me. In contrary, I am working on making good changes that will bring me prosperity in the future. I am working to make my future a better life than the one I live now.
As of now I am not worried about losing necessities such as food, water, and power even though times are hard right now because I think my family is not suffering this recessionn as bad as others. Luckily, my family brings stable earnings home. I feel bad though for those who are unfortunate and have lost their jobs. I bet those are extremely worried about losing their necessities with no type of income to cover their bills and other expenses. If lay offs continue to increase I think we will encounter another Great Depression or a recession of that sort where many more will become homeless searching for the government's help. I think this nation will have a lot of debt problems because all events will have negative effects eventually affecting everything, one thing leading to another. I think this nation would even go to war to fight other nations for the goods we lack. I think that many more people will suffer, encounter hunger, deaths, and many more irreversible events. Oh My God!!! I never really stopped to think about this! I hope I never have to go through this, my parents have worked so hard to give us the best life possible for some DUMB recession to ruin it all for us. :(
