If you have ever read or seen a Russian LATA, this may mean more to you. But basically, this sums up the state of the U.S. Economy, circa 2008. The picture is courtesy of 3 toddlers who took the LATA apart in minutes and a mobile phone. Note the wheels and hubcaps missing, as well as the engine. That about says it all.
