Economically? No, heck no.

In pretty much every external factor, things are worse.

[Kaemon]

Much better.

[Naughtyboy]

OFC!!..now MWO is comming something very intresting too look forward too!!!

[GrimJim]

No, the nation has gone to hell in hand basket. Converse to its founding its now trying to control every aspect of its citizens lives, exacerbating and prolonging our economic woes.

Yes, because there is a new MechWarrior game this summer.

[Wyzak]

no, 4 years ago I was at an office job that paid $10,000 a year more. But I'm glad to have any job in this economy, and my current career is very nice.

[Tannhauser Gate]

Yeah we are better off than we were 4 years ago. Wife and I both are doing better in our jobs so we moved to a new house a couple of years ago which made things alot better for our family.

And of course, MWO is coming out which puts a new shine of excitement on the summer.

So I guess Im in that %20 that would say Yes.

One of the lucky ones. Props to you, man.

[Carebear]

Kinda yes, it feels good to get older.

In 4 years I have achieved a higher pay grade. The trade off is that I get more responsibility and work. In general though, goods and services are more expensive now than they were 4 years ago, so there isn't that big of a salary boost when you compare the increased cost of my expenses. Overall though, I am better off since I have built my resume up, have earned good references, and have gained more capital to work with. So things are better due to my self advancement which I do not think was directly related to the economy. However, if expenses were lower I would of course have more money to work with.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Guess which group I'm in...

HELL NO I AIN'T BETTER! I built that frickin' hangar's Production Control shop and ran it for them, and then they tossed me aside like an old dirty rag. Now, with Obama in office, my family will be lucky if my great-great-great grandchildren can buy their way out of the debt he's racked up. We're out of one decade long war, and we're getting ready to be out of a second, but floppy-ears is already talking about Iran. No, not better, not in the least.

Then we must oust floppy-ears

4 years ago, there was no MW game in production.

Also, I did not know how to say something in English besides OK.


So, yeah, something surely improved.

I think nothing is more divisive than politics and nothing will help tear this MW community apart than threads like this.

I have a question: Do the forum moderaters REALLY want this forum to devolve into the mass name-calling and bitterness that American politics so often does?

There are literally thousands of websites devoted specifically for these issues. I have one forum I can go to to talk about MW:O.

War is the continuation of politics by other means. This game is about war, so they go together.
