When people talk about "the times" what do they mean?

[galacticmonkey]

For example:
"Oh in these times its hard to find a job."

"In these times noone has any extra money."

"When the times are like they are now, everyone has it rough."

I always thought they were referring to "these times" as the Crunk Times. Someone told me today they were referring to the economy. WTF is an economy and why is it more important than crunkness?

Its voodoo black magic devil spells, I tell ya.
