Folks prepare for a new wave of Downturn possibly soon

Sgcabby SG

The entire European airline industy bleeding hundreds of millions of euros each day. analysts expect the total loss to exceed 1+ billion even before the whole crisis blows over, some anticipating certain airlines to close shop or start shedding fat very soon becos they are still not yet fully recovering from the previous financial crisis

The crisis also affecting fast moving consumer goods industry, like foodstuff and pharmaceuticals. the problem will be even more widespread as the clock ticks away

Just think what if we have a rent hike, a fuel hike, a downturn followed almost immediately by certain unemployment all squeezed in at the same time!

Dun worry, less air flights = less demand for fuel = less demand for crude oil = lower prices

But it's still possible for the evil cartel to cut supply too

Sgcabby, why are your postings mostly on negative events huh?

Life is short. Look on the bright side.

There are solutions to every situations. Just think positive.

I got the golden handshake 16 months ago. The job market was very bad then, couldn't even get an interview, not to talk about any job.

What do I do? I quickly apply for a TVL. So what if SMRT con me into it?

I don't care. I passed everything in 1 go & quickly get a cab all within 3 months & start learning the rope.

I've been driving for 13 months, and I am still VERY happy with it.

Kudos to Mercabs,

Collecting my MPV 7seater tomorrow, able to achieve what you mentioned on getting the TVL part and hoping will be able to "learn the rope" just like you did...
