Well that being said, What "we" all planned for was then the norm also, but it was taken away by our own "brothers." Changing the law is their fault and their actions will force us all to pay. Retiring with dignity in this industry shouldn't even be a factor, because guess what,? you won't. It will never be the same, all of the dignity has been given away over the past decade.
Suck it up? I think "we" are all getting used to it, but it doesn't mean that we can't voice our disgust. I think the problem with this entire industry is the "just suck it up and take it" mentality. (A lot of dignity represented in that belief.)
