Facial expressions – In any recession you will need either of two distinctly different facial expressions – 1) the considerate – to use when a friend or family member is telling their tale of recession woe and 2) the sadly brave face – for use when outlining your tale of recession woe to friends or family.  If things get really bad then 3) will be needed, that being brutal apathy – for use when being begged for money. However the risk of using 3) is that you may then later have to master at some speed 4), contrition & deserving of mercy as you get cornered by the hungry street people you just practiced 3) on. Post videos on Youtube, if it still exists.

Recession Fan Fiction – Don’t you hate it when bad things happen that you know you could do better, but sadly you never get the chance to do anything about it because you are either not smart enough, connected enough, not the King of Siam, part of the Illuminati or any of the other key global string pullers?  Of course you do, and pre Internet all you would be able to do is sit back and stew in your rage. However now that we have the joys of Internet self published fan fiction you can rewrite events in such a way that pleases you! Got a theory about how to solve everything easily? Write a story that allows you to do just that! Then hope like hell that in two thousand years historians read your account and believe you really were the Hero of the Age rather than an actual true account.

Oh and don’t forget to vote this November, whether that be in NZ or the US. Vote early and often!
