From my experience, in this town, the only people who lost their jobs were lazy ***** who didn't deserve the job they had in the first place.
It's absolutely unbelievable how many lazy worthless ***** my company has hired and these piles of ---- show up to work late, don't do a god damn thing excpet smoke cigarettes, talk on the phone and sit around, take long breaks, leave early and STILL expect to get top pay and want everything handed to them. That's if they even show up to work. ---- YOU. You want good pay? You want to be treated good? Show up on time, bust your ***, and go home when the day is over. Anything less and you better not wonder why you're not making any money and why you're the first guy to get laid off. It's funny listening to these guys bitch about how they want more money and how they can't pay their bills, yet they're not willing to show up for work and earn their money. I think I got a little off topic there.

The other problem that goes hand in hand with my previous paragraph is large corporations. No i don't think they're the devil but they don't help. Wal mart (just an example) has homogonized commodities to the point where you can't imagine your life without it. What existed before walmart? Mom and pop stores. Anyone remember going to a stationary store to get supplies before staples and all this other bullshit? There are a lot of small businesses in this country, and they are a huge part of this as well, and when they get bullied around by large corporations, everyone suffers. Now i'm not advocating that the government should get more involved than it already has, because after all once you start ------- with the free market economy then you run into a shitload of problems. As for the answer? I'm not sure there is a simple one. For me, it was pick a career where i can't be easily downsized or outsourced. If any of you nogs are interested in the stuff, i highly recommend Thomas Freedman's book The Lexus and the Olive Tree Its about globalization, and it will knock you on your ***

The reason we're in this is because our population are stupid ***** who allow it by ignorance. These are the same people who will cry on the curb when it's time to switch into survival mode. I'll be stabbing their children, and eating their souls to survive.
Luckily, I'm part of the 5% of Americans who won't cry on the curb.
