It was more of an observation about what is happening to people in my environment than a projection.

People are being laid off in droves (talented as wel as not so talented as well as those who were lucky to have a job) and it hurts them and their families for real.

Not everybody can move to chase the jobs and not everybody has a list of instantly monetizable pet projects on the shelf.

Nor do they have nest eggs. The fat cat bankers that caused this crisis are in a better position than they are and that is sad.

The articles suggestion is very misleading, see above (no point repeating my point in yet another comment) for a more realistic approach to getting out of this mess in one piece.
