lets see, my home town area has lost these this last 1-2 yrs:

- 1 paper mill over 500 jobs
- 1 different company paper mill office center 200 jobs
- 1 cheese factory over 300 jobs
- 1 used car dealer that had 3 large lots 30-40 jobs
- 1 pontiac/buick/jeep dealer 20-30 jobs
- 1 dodge dealer 15 jobs
- 1 wendy's resturant
- 1 hardees resturant
- 1 transmission repair shop

many other small shops, seems every month a couple more go under

Luckily...though Buffalo has been losing jobs at a higher rate than normal...it hasn't negatively affected the area too much. Being at the bottom of the food chain has its benefits...

Leatherneck, I first want to thank you for serving our country and for making all the sacrifices that you have made so that so many of us can live in a country that is the most prosperous in the world. I also served this great nation (Air Force) and now I am fortunate enough to work for the federal government. I am 40 years old and have never owned a brand new car. I always believed that a car (unless a classic) is not an investment and always bought a vehicle that was 3-5 years old. I have put myself in a good financial position and can now own my dream car. I do not feel guilty for this but rather proud. I have paid my dues and now my time has come. I would love to see everyone who wants this car be able to get it, but I hope this car does not lead to their financial demise. I guess there are some people who are frustrated by their financial position that they feel they must insult the others who have paid their dues.

Fustrated to the point of not-so-nice outbursts. I don't think anyone here would intentionally insult another member. If they do, they're usually gone in a quick fashion.

On that note, let's try to keep our tempers in check, folks.
