A controlled collapse is impossible, there's too many people that will keep propping it up until the whole thing becomes too big for the supports and snaps 'em in half catastrophically.
The only hope for a positive result is finding some way that the whole structure becomes unimportant so that when it does collapse it won't matter. Not sure what that would entail, though. If I knew what that better system would be, I'd get rich getting it started.

Economy
My company is super busy.
Right on the leading edge techonlogy or something.
We started a few warehouse people yesterday, to help with all the new orders.
I've mostly been doing web site, graphic design, and marketing material type stuff so far.
It's interesting work, I'm liable to spend 60% of my day in Illustrator, which is pretty cool.

(a) my boss quits
(b) job market sucks less
Might even land full time by this summer if all goes well.

Well, that coding position still hasn't had an interview, they're saying within the next week or two.
Meanwhile, the parent of my former company hired me to do consulting on a short term basis. I flew up Thursday morning and just got back for the first two days, and they want two more weeks, possibly more depending on how things go.
The office up there is friggin sweet. They have the entire 55th floor of the John Hancock Center. All marble and wood, and fancy stuff. But, best of all - free cokes, OJ, and Vitamin Water. Well, best of all is a paycheck, but 2nd best... all that stuff.

Prez chimes in w\ more useless platitudes.
He draws a comparison w\ Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, which I guess means he's comparing the economy to a religion ... which implies all sorts of other things.

I just got my first consulting paycheck. It's only part-time work, but this check was for April, when I worked nearly the entire month.
And I'm going to Vegas tomorrow.

It does seem like a pretty good deal.

Most of them were better looking than that. But the same uniform.
