If the last handful of years hasn't made you relatively wealthy in some way, then what have you been doing with your time?

401k's through the roof. Investments through the roof. Home values through the roof. You HAVE money to live off of if you need it. The job fires you, live on the 401k money. Sell the home and downsize. Cash out refi, whatever you need to do. Yeah I get 401k was for retirement, but at the end of the day surviving this clot shot is more important.

Most people have MORE money to outlast these corporations, before their financials collapse them into ruin.

Either the corporations start standing with the people, or their out of business.
