Life gets harder the more we dive into the financial crisis. Blue collar workers sometimes don't even get a job anymore, or work 3 at the same time just to pay rent. White collar workers work themselves to death in one job, although I have to admit it's maybe only 80% as harsh for IT as in medical. Even the rich that we all complain about lose more and more control over their money and their investments. We just don't like to see that, since who wants to admit that someone above oneself in the foodchain may also be struggling? Then we would also need to admit that the dream part of why we slave off ourselves so much will never be true as well.
I don't think that we're heading into a zombie apocalypse level destruction. Highly skilled people will always have one of the best lives. But it gets harder for everybody, and no matter how much we complain there isn't anybody who can give us a better life at the moment. Everybody is losing something.
