| Either is the United States!Believe me when I tell you that I don't live in a wealthy area by any stretch of the imagination. The area is actually still considered an old coal mining area but just try and get a table any day of the week at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Chili's, Red Robin, Top Round, you name any restaurant and after 5:00 pm there will be a 45 minute wait for a seat. I go in Lowes at 9:30 in the morning and there are ten person lines at a dozen registers. The local Hummer dealer can't get enough units to meet their demand and keep in mind that this is a machine that gets an average of 9 miles to the gallon at a cost of premium fuel at $3.65 a gallon. Yea, we're in a recession alright our local Harley dealer has a 9 month waiting list for every model they offer and I believe the cheapest one is over $9000. Is the housing market strong? Heck no but I don't totally agree that classifies this country as being in a recession but then again I'm no economist. The Germans can charge $480 for their controllers simply because we as hobbyists simply have to own the latest and greatest of everything offered and with a name like "Jive", how could it be anything other than the best electronic speed controller available on the planet.
