This.
There are so many doom and gloom predictions for the economy. All I know is that I went cold turkey from the Alex Jones radio feed because all it's doing is depressing people and making them terribly anxious.
I'm not saying it's intentional, but all this obsessive feeding frenzy of panic which the media has infected the public with has got to be doing something to us collectively, and it's not going to be something good.
Smile and be happy, spend time with your family, most of us I would hope have got enough food on the table. So just try and just turn the radio off if they're spreading more doom mongering. Dont feed your fear from it, although the impulse to listen and become more scared is pretty strong.
All this will blow over at some point, and if it doesn't well there isn't much we can do about it anyway.

Well done sir. I too wonder at the media's apparent desire to make a bed situation worse. Without hope there is nothing and to be frank we have allbeen in worse situations than this.
Ed Wuncler, who is Woodcrests own "Mr. Potter", has been trying to buy the town park for years, but the state wants too much money.
so he gets Grandad to open a Soulfood restaurant across the street which creates a chain reaction which ultimately leads to the property values
plummeting. Ed Wuncler closes the restaurant down at the end of the episode and grandad looks defeated, while Ed Wuncler looks across the street to
the park to see it fenced off with a large "Wuncler Construction" billboard inside the gates, then he smiles.
