I was impressed by our 19-year-old SS-forum newbie who has posted on the thread Trim started about commitment to "the Change" (as he calls it), on the Preparedness section. Hope you read this, Big_White, and hope you and others will respond.
I have a question for you. You've mentioned that most of your age-group peers were not aware, during highschool, of the economic crisis and what it means for people's orientation to life in the U.S. and what the crisis implies for values and attitudes. I't's made me wonder what people in the age bracket of, say, 19-30 know about how the crisis occurred and developed, and how it continues to proceed?
More specifically, I'm thinking about this from the angle of how people have become apparently less book oriented, and more accustomed to getting information from the internet. People seem to be after a quick, fact-filled read. And so, actually the question is: what sites might you direct people in that age bracket to to explain the financial/economic crisis? People do desire to know what is happening in their world.
I've found this one, but I'd be interested in others:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_2000s_recession
I'm not so much interested in sites about the long slide into increasing reliance on external big systems (governments, large corporations, etc) - although I do share those concerns - but more about what has touched off the immediate extreme economic downturn.
I'd like to be able to recommend sites along this line to people. So... suggestions?
