I’ve been there.Instead of looking at what we’ve lost, we must do the hard thing and look at the opportunity that has been presented to us. With some support from the government in the form of unemployment compensation, tuition loans and vouchers for adults and medical, life, vision and dental insurance for those thrown out of work, we can make it.With these necessities provided, we can now set about ensuring that never again will we be at the mercy of some corporation that doesn’t really care about us anyway.

There has to be a better way. And there is.It will be hardest for adults. But I also know that as adults, we do whatever is necessary to get by - to put food on the table for our children and families, to keep a roof over their heads and clothes on their backs. It will be hard. But it is doable. It is also necessary.A new economy is upon us. The means of production are being handed back to the individual by the forces of evolution, science and progress. No person is doing this. No state is doing this. No religion is doing this. No ideology is doing this.

As our basic necessities for life and living are temporarily provided by the state, we must go back to school to learn a trade, to learn that profession we always wondered about. Our dream of being an architect, teacher or doctor is now forced upon us. And we must take up those reins which have been presented to us - and learn.It may not be easy. It may not be cheap. But it must be done. As we learn that trade or profession we’ve always dreamed of, other avenues of generating income wait to be explored.
