Some part of me wonders if I should dust off my LinkedIn and prepare for an unplanned career course change.

The cynical part of me thinks it's going to be fierce in the job market, if goes through an intense purge to cut to available funding. It's going to be everyone all at once.

People also seem to be postponing since there is doubt cast on social security benefits longevity.

This whole time thinking, shit, I've got another twenty years before I get close to that concern.

I'm beginning to wonder how a population rises up against a deadlocked, deluded, complacent oligarchy type government. How would that even work?

The space scifi novel I'm reading makes use of the idea of conscripted government officials, where you are called to office as a duty based on competency not desire.
