Isopatch,

<<Friend of ours (in California), a plastics engineer - in his 50s - with excellent employment record and seniority recently laid off with many coworkers and is now working in Walmart!>>

I feel very fortunate. It could have been me.

Regards,

vt

Good post, Iso, and very true. Almost everywhere I look, I have the sense that things are out of equilibrium -- that we are living in a big economic/political super-saturated solution -- which one of these days, sooner or later, is going to precipitate out. At that moment there is going to be hell to pay.
Thanks to people like you, on this and other threads, who have been generous with ideas and analysis, I feel reasonably confident. We who have gotten into the habit of trying to think things through for ourselves, and make our own decisions, will be in a better position to handle the difficulties that lie ahead.
