The energy I expend on the current recession doesn’t often rise to the level of thought; mostly it’s spent in gut-twisting fear that it’ll come close enough to scorch my family. But when I do try to think about it in an organized, reasonable way, the conclusion I reach (I’m not clever enough to theorize about causes and societal consequences) are that I’d better try to protect myself and my family. So I work hard, stay extra hours for which I don’t ask to be paid, save my change in a clay jug, sell plasma and spend spare scraps of time working odd jobs online.
