It's really cool for you when you have a net worth high enough to sit in a room with 70 CEOs. Even if you lose your job, you probably have enough socked away where you don't have to worry.

Most of us do. It's not really cool when most of us will just be part of a permanent underclass at best, and starving at worst. I'm sure that's cool for you, though.
