Pretty scary position to be in when you're 59 years old. This has also made the front page of CNN.com today, so I'm hoping the guy finds something.

I wonder if he ever worked for Mego.

That just sucks ... I really feel for him.

right now I'm also out of work but have very little to worry about due to not having many bills and living with my parents. I might not have the ideal life but at least I have a roof over my head.

That sucks,but you wanna know what.Having that job before he probably made mad money and he should've saved some incase something like this were to ever happen.

Now he's gonna have to suck it up and go find a regular job like everyone else

I was out of work a few years ago. I didn't walk around with a placard around my neck.

I networked with everyone I knew and would have taken a job any job to make ends meat if necessary.

Luckily, it only took me a month but I also know that even my current job isn't safe nor is anyone so it is worth stashing some money away.
