Message: [QUOTE="dj11, post: 2983301, member: 13851"] Being an election year, I'm not sure anyone has the balls to step up.:( I can't help but think that the Great Recession had a lot to do with the rise of OLP. I was in home improvements during the years leading up to the Great Recession, and that recession actually started earlier than the 2007-2008 dates we often hear about. I was noticing a slowdown from about late 2005. 2006 was slim. Most of my 2007 calendar was empty. I had been overbooked from 2002-2005. When the recession started co-insides with when OLP took off. There were a lot of peeps out of work, and some of them found poker. It thrived during the recession. Then BF hit, but at the same time, the economy was improving. I can't shake the notion that those 2 things are related. Now the economy is robust, and I wonder if that is somehow affecting things.:confused: [/QUOTE]
