Rick Moranis's satirical take on the worldwide economy allows for a unique point of view on the current state of the economy. Addressing the differences between the domestic and abroad economy, Moranis questions whether or not him using foreign items in his every day life is affecting everyone around him. The idea that we are living in an economic time period where almost everyone knows someone who is struggling is a topic that is relatable to me, and I can understand the way that he struggles what he should be purchasing and where he should be purchasing these things from. What is the opportunity cost of purchasing a coffee maker from target that was produced in china opposed to the local appliance shop down that street that makes their own? Our purchases affect those around us, and the economy is an important topic to consider in the upcoming election in November.
