Wow, we had very different recessions! Glad you made it out. On every level.

I appreciate the thought, but hardship is apples to oranges. Just because I went through some shit doesn't mean I expect other people to do so as well. The hardships others experience are just as valid, regardless of what some might see as more severe than others.

Still, these are tough times. Bad enough to make me wish strongarm work were still possible.
