    It's not so simple to retool ourselves. I like the idea that some people are finding something inwardly satisfying, and yet the stark reality is that people are out of work and many are unable to find alternative work situations.

    Maybe it's good that many people are whacked with the reality that having a roof and enough food are the necessities. But let's not discount the seriousness of the situation.

    After the Vietnam War, all the tech people were out of work and then it was a long time before people could be convinced to study tech in college so it could get going again once the economy stabilized.

    I like the Buddhist way of viewing things--neither positively nor negatively--just what's so.
