Printer-friendly versionSend to friend
November 7, 2009 (LPAC)—A resident of the Tampa, Florida area gave a report today of what he described as the "catastrophic" economic situation surrounding the area, noting that its economy basically descended into total breakdown starting October. He reports that the shaky banks in the area since October have put a $500 limit on cash withdrawals. He noted that all of the car dealerships are now gone, and the only "new job opportunities that people can seek are as help in grocery stores and restaurants."
Recently in Tampa, a medical helicopter flew to a paperwork factory, to pick up a worker who had collapsed on the job. The citizen's view is that people are under such incredible stress, that such incidents are becoming a norm. "When I try to talk to people about what is happening, they say, 'the only thing that matters is where I get my meal today.'"
Recently, he went to his branch of Bank of America, which is in Tampa. He went inside to cash a check of $2,500 from his business account. The teller told him, "You can only have $500."
He said, "This seems to be a change."
