That's awfully close to home for so many people these days.
I'm a future ex-factory worker. Will I work til retirement, get laid-off, or die in harness? Only time will tell.
This one I couldn't even smile at, Ted.
what libhom said.
one-panel zeitgeist, especially for genx++
The days of the career company man are gone, seemingly forever. I can't use my own self-employed father as an example, but most of my pals had fathers who worked their entire adult lives for a single employer:
DuPont, Duke Power, USPS, County, etc. Those days seem to be long over, save for places like the Postal Service, and it's busy trying to privatize itself into extinction.
God forbid the bartender in the picture becomes a "former" as well. Then we're really screwed.
Damn, what happened to all the talk of Hope and Change? I thought The One was going to wave his magic whatever and, presto, all would be well. Gitmo closed, the war in Iraq over, the war in Afghan over, everyone would keep their homes. Hell the only thing magazines has to talk about was Michelle's muscular arms.
