    Unemployment is at record lows. Some sectors are hiring a lot more people than the tech sector is shedding. It’s not really complicated.

    Job sectors come and go, grow and shrink. Imagine how silly I would sound if I said: “there is almost no work for horse cart builders but the gov says that unemployment is at record lows, how can this be?”

            Well, first, I would start with not reading a billboard created by some marketers as some affront to you and the opinion of a group of people who have nothing to do with making the sign.

        “I want to be able to eat this month, so losing my job would be really bad”

        You: Fuck you tech workers! The world doesn’t revolve around you!
