    Neither never took Welfare and only time was in 2016 when I was lay-off after 10 years of service.

    Federal employees had to interrupt shopping from their sofas while they were “remote working”, now that they aren’t getting paid to do so.

    If you’ve never been fired from a job, you’ve never really worked for a living.

    Yes, have read most of that. Housing sales are tanking, but the media (probably paid off by the industry) are not covering it fully. Why is the market (especially the Nasdaq) still going up? Crazy.

I once quit a job because the boss and I didn’t agree. In fifteen minutes, I had another job paying the same pay ant another company where I became the highest paid person. Does it count as getting fired if you fire yourself?

    While I understand your sentiment, just know that there are those of us who just posted 80 hours of work in the office and various other places with no pay. We’re not all leaches.

It could go up or down. But most likely it will go up. Even if it didn’t go up I wouldn’t be terribly concerned. A large chunk of those let go were government employees.
