Junk:
I don't think this is about being negative. It has to do with a reality check! Everyone who has the rosey "Pie-in the sky.. oh it's a small little blip.. no worries.. no problems" attitude needs to wake up. I tell people "I'm not pessimistic, I'm REALISTIC!" If it quacks like a duck.. it's a duck!
Have the smart among us worked to find other avenues instead of just scrapping items.. yup.. but we were doing that long before the free-fall. I enjoy recycling as well.. I appreciate the good I do for the environment but let's be honest.. Same work, with half the pay.. kinda blows right?
We've had to change our strategies. I abandoned scrapping cars all together.. Why? Because it was hard enough to get cars offering $250 or $300 when prices were good- you should see the looks you get when you offer someone $50 for a car. It is a cross between a "F You and a "You're insane" look. But if you want to survive in that game- you better get them at that price or you'll never make $.
