As someone had a horse in the race during the previous recession, it's not some sort of "game" and I find this flippant attitude incredibly off-putting to say the least. These are people's livelihoods we're talking about here. The last recession took a huge emotional toll on me, more than can be explained using words.
Sorry my comment came off a little more tongue-in-cheek than I intended. I didn't mean to downplay the seriousness of the topic, it was a bit of nervous laughter if you will.
My naivety is apparent and I will treat future discussions like these with more care. Apologies if I struck a nerve.
