Congratulations on being part of Depression 2.0! (nevermind those other
"Recessions" or "Slow Downs," they were mere economic dress rehearsals)
Now is truly your time to shine as you share in this exciting moment of
history.
While others may be assembling their apple-selling enterprises based on
business models honed at Stanford, you know better how to keep your high
ideals and standard of living.
While you're busy watching the Nightly Business Report and educating
yourself on the failure of the system, don't forget that you need to have a
good time, too.

First order of business: remember entertainment is essential during a
Depression in order to keep one's spirits up. Sure you graduated at the
top of your class after scrimping for years to achieve your degree--but no
one's going to hire a sad sack for that low-paying customer service job!
If we learned anything from the Great Depression (um), it's that
movie-going was essential. And you're not going to be going to too many
movie palaces on what you're earning, so time to break out the library
card.
If you're lucky, you live in a community where inter-library loans mean
that you don't have to go too far to get the films you want.
But, keep in mind that your library is probably under-funded, especially in
these dire times, so go pay off your fines already. Better yet, consider
donating your extra dvds, videos, or books if you can't afford a monetary
donation.

I was wondering if there was some philosophical significance to reversed images (living life backwards or some-such), or maybe for the aesthetic balance of the image and you were hoping nobody would notice, or if you'd just done it for a laugh, specifically to get gullible fools like me to comment pointlessly?
I treasure any good exchange, and I'd rather laugh at myself than other people (unless banana peels are involved, then all bets are off).
