The lads discuss what options there are for them employment-wise if the industry goes to hell. They ponder recessions - past and possible future ones - and what they could do within a functioning social net and without it. They talk about working for yourself and a no-growth business model. Shane hopes that society will become less tech-orientated. They end with a discussion about rural versus urban society.
