>>If those developers Walmart laid off get out in the small to medium business world- there's no limit to what they can accomplish- if they want to.
>>If they don't want to .. well that's another story.
They were more accounting types.... but here's a suggestion: rather than complaining that your grandkids find it tougher then you ever did, tell them the Nathan story and the Trivial Pursuits one too. They too can be millionaires if they are lucky enough to see their jobs exported or handed to H-1B visa-holders! There's no limit to what they can accomplish- if they want to. If they don't want to .. well that's another story. No doubt they'll be excited to receive such helpful advice from good old grandpa. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
