I'm really not sure what to think about all this economic bail out stuff that has been happening. To me it reminds me of watching my friends mom Kat having a break down when we went to Japan. In Japan, it is socially unacceptable to give money as a gift of thanks. As a result, it is very hard to get people to accept tips. Kat is pretty well off and seems to be used to giving tips, or just straight cash, when she appreciates something somebody has done for her. She had a break down because nobody would accept the money she was giving them. Her solution of presenting money to make things good, was not working in Japan.
So whats going to happen when throwing money at our problem isn't going to work? Are we just gonna break down? Or are we going to do the Japanese thing and give gifts like food or nick-nacks (or in the economic stand point, public works projects)
I guess this is something i should look into more.
