Good one. Looking at alternate and feasible solutions must be the priority.
One thing that I have observed is that the fear of recession has created a bigger hole than the actual recession itself. This is stopping companies from thinking creatively, and who knows - that might be the birth of an idea that can be a great hit when the economy revives! But people are not willing to change from the usual routine. That is why when some people avoid ideas, they are saving their jobs. Truly selfish - but they never think of others who can also benefit from the creation of a new idea that can save "many" jobs.
