a remarkable number of posters here say that the economy is just as bad as ever, no one gets hired anymore, especially no one over 60. Or over 50. Or over 40. It's completely impossible to retire, ever. And so on.

When I was much younger I was taught that revolutions were most likely to occur not when things were at their worst, but only after things had started to get better.
