All those layed off people should "pull up their bootstraps" as Rush calls it and get some more "skoolin" and get into bio molecular chemistry and nanotechnologoly.

We need to come up with something big they can't outsource. Right now, we're treading water with all those small home-grown businesses/garage inventions. Oh well, China doubtless will steal or buy the technology/whatever.

Nah, those are wimpy industries and they will be outsourced to India anyhoo. Myself, I'm going for the big time, black hole engineering (*). /sarcasm>

I think really, this is where Rush is wrong.

(*) - With apologies to one science fiction role playing game, I rolled up a character with a degree in black hole engineering.
