For people like you who, A) have a job and B) own property, it will be comparatively safe for you to ride this out. For people like me, fresh college grads who are struggling to make a way for ourselves in the mire and muck, its a horrible time to be alive. This goes for anyone who's unemployed, doesn't own property, and/or has an overabundance of debt.
That's absolutely wonderful! It's about time we stopped pretending that "domestic partnership" is not the same as "colored entrance". Seperate but equal is just an excuse to discriminate.
