Nothing changed for me. My estimate for the first wave of unemployment waves is not enough for me to worry. Besides, if democracy fails to find a solution, we have bigger things to worry about.

There isn’t a job on earth that won’t be impacted by a huge unemployment wave, though.

Even if you have the most secure job imaginable, if 50% of people are unemployed, your line of work will be flooded with today’s smart, capable, white collar workers as they retrain.

People (especially capable and adaptable people) will see you’re doing okay and try to emulate you. Which will push your wages down.

Today’s middle class aren’t just going to lie down and say ‘guess it’s game over for me’.
