There is a lot of news about the recession and how it is effecting everyone. This seems to be the most popular topic in news. Many companies are suffering and it is hurting the employees because several are being layed off. There is a story about the cement plant in California which is struggling to maintain because the company does not have $200 million dollars to update to carbon dioxide emissions for all 11 plants.
The recession is also hitting universities pretty hard because they are loosing their donors who they count on for money toward the instituiton. There was an article explaining a plan to earn a college degree in 3 years instead of 4 to save money. Sounds good but who wants to take on that big of a load and stress themselves out. Earning a college degree is not easy.
In the mist of all this, it is nice to see Obama trying to rebuild this country and get it back on its feet. I was excited to read he was going to try and bring troops home from Iraq in August 0f 2010.
But to read about the death penalty be put to an end makes me happy but angry at the same time. States want to abolish capital punishment to save money because it cost three times more than homicide cases not because they realize it is wrong to take another person's life. Will they bring it back when the recession is over??
In the obituaries Nonnie Moore, a famous fashion editor died at 87. I found this piece interesting because she was in the profession that I am interested in. :)
