Bad economy! Who cares and who does not

Everyone talks about the bad economy. Even if they are affected by it or not. Why? Well, I don't have any problem if people who lost their jobs because of it, people who are unable to get employed or those who aren't getting a rise or getting promoted are talking about it but what about the higher percentage of people who are happy in their jobs getting every pay check without any problem. When you see them talking its as if they are really concerned about whats happening. I say, people just want something to talk about. They are excited to see people losing jobs, the stocks losing their values with time and the government getting cursed every time because they are getting stuff to talk about. Why do they are?
