Ok, it’s pretty obvious the economy’s bad hair day is not going away for a while. If you’re running a business, it’s best to find a good pair of scissors, comb, brush, or styling products to have a good grooming before it goes bald with the economy. Yes, this is also my own personal fear when I see myself in the mirror…
