let's see. I went to a plant nursery today and the guy said that at plant warehouses they have immense numbers of plants that are not getting sold.
When i met my Italian tutor, she said no one is booking private lessons and the language classes are much smaller this year.
And when I tried to sell my car for blue book ($10,000 for a 4 door sedan) Someone made an offer for $5000. You've heard about all the unsold SUV's and Pickuptrucks.
houses are vacant all over the country.

I'd say things are REALLY bad and getting worse!
