I had no idea things were this bad.  I don't watch TV very much and 
depend mostly on the New York Times for my news, but I haven't seen 
much mention of the situation.
I wish there was something we could do to help out, but it doesn't sound 
like there's much anyone can do.  We hope things turn around soon.
