“The answer is quit today: mentally separate yourself from your employer and realize that you’re on your own. Abandon any remaining tinges of loyalty to your employer (who long ago abandoned any sense of obligation to you) and instead think of your job and yourself the same way free-agent athletes do.”

Exactly. The job is a commodity; many here will tell you it's the employer's job, not your job.

Fine. Just don't expect me to fall on my sword for the company anymore.

There's no problem so great that a government program can't make it even worse.

Not only that, but if you look critically at the problem, you're likely to find that a government program caused it in the first place.

Good Lord! I remember that from back in the late seventies.
