@wurlybird9 Stop eating meat? Are you crazy meat both tastes good and is good for you. There is no need or reason for stop eating meat or dairy. Farm animals are not generally treated as badly as in the U.S.

[wurlybird9]

the answer is simple, go back to local economy, stop buying crap you don't need, the stuff was never "cheap" anyway it was all product of exploitation. Stop eating meat. Stop eating dairy. And any other products that were result of mass exploitation, or raping of land with pesticides and chemicals. Do your best to get educated. Don't be afraid you have been lied to so much and it's not fair. But just try to do something. Anything. Don't expect perfection but you must make an effort

no it was overspending that killed the economy world-wide
