It's pretty easy to find work though...but to find a career that is a bit harder. Last job I had, I love it. But it started out at 40 hours and dwindled to four hours a week after a month or so. Seeing all the homeless people begging in Portland does make it seem grimmer though.

My dad went through the Great Depression and he never let his kids forget the lessons he learned.

Another good reason for conserving resources... You’re very right, those who have become used to patterns of over-consumption are going to be the ones really suffering.
