Just take your class to visit any of the local shopping malls. It's a very eerie atmosphere. I recently visited a local Home Depot one evening around 7pm. Not a customer in the store except me. They didn't have any cashiers either, just the automated ones. It felt very strange.

Here are some good economic blogs to read:

Don't take it personally, it's just one of my peeves that there is an entire generation that cannot express a thought, feeling, or opinion without copious use of the word "like."

Like, like, you know, like...

Nothing just is anymore as half my peers drop similies in the fashion of dim-witted Shakespeares.
