Is there anything worse than media-types getting all weepy over the misfortunes of an ex-hedge fund manager now forced to deliver pizza because of the economy? (delivering pizza??? That’s the only job you could get?? Are you serious??)
News reports seeking out the most extreme examples of financial misfortune do nothing to instill confidence in the American public. In an economy thats 80% consumer driven, overblown, melodramatic news segments like these are exactly why people are afraid to spend money.

I’m sure everyone in your life is so proud that a few years after getting a BA you’ve reached the lofty heights of “unpaid intern the doesn’t know how to work a byline”. Way to go, Matthew.
p.s. As a writer, proper punctuation is your friend. Embrace it.
I have a BFA, not a BA. Other than that you’re pretty much spot on.
I watched that part of the show, and let me tell you, I sure as shit was not all weepy for the hedge-fund-manager-turned-pizza-delivery guy. Um, hello? He used to make $750k a year! And with that salary, their house isn’t paid off and they have $100k in credit card debt? Talk about living beyond your means. I’m getting pissed off again just thinking about it.
