    Interesting note:

    A Nationwide Limosine company is contracted each year to service the NFL and it's VIP's.

    Last year this company brought in almost 500 Limosines to service the Super Bowl in Arizona.

    This year with an expected downturn the company only brought in 300 limosines to service the Super Bowl here in Tampa.

    Halfway through the training process for temp. drivers who were brought in from the local community and from around the country the company informed the drivers there would be no need for the services of about 40% of them.
    The turnout locally was much worse than their predicted numbers.

    There's no link for this story because I doubt it will be publicized.
    You may ask how I know of this.
    It's because I was one of the drivers scheduled to service the week and one that was let go. The luck continues! :lol:

    Regardless of my situation, I figured this was a pretty telling story to share showing the depth of our economic problems right now.
