Your past experiences are truly irrelevant to the point you made and what I was responding to.  And your ad hominem attacks are misplaced as well.<p>You have admitted you didn&#x27;t go through the 2001 bust, so you, by definition, have no idea what it was like.  Dismissing talk of 2016 being a bad year as doom-saying, exaggerating or self-aggrandizing clearly shows you have no idea how bad it can get for the industry as a whole.  I don&#x27;t care if you were unemployed and living in a car for 18 months in 2009&#x2F;2010, because it&#x27;s irrelevant to the point.  There are plenty of people unemployed and living in cars even during the dotcom boom.  But 2009&#x2F;2010 weren&#x27;t anything compared to the depths of the dotcom bust.
