We got IOUs in the 80s. Landlords even honored them (then). There were also major upheavals in the 90s when I worked for the State. It seems like this happens a lot here and people get outraged for a few weeks.. Why are people surprised now? Am I just old? I guess so...when I saw this topic I thought it was about a time long ago. Like: look at how wacky things used to be. Well: Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
I think we should not fret. It will be okay.
