Agree 100%. As contractors it's our own fault for taking the cuts and still showing up every day!!!
I'm lucky enough to have been through the hey days when we actually made more money than we knew what to do with.
This is America, nobody put a gun to our heads, but the guys that allowed them to do this to us are 100% to blame.
There's still money to made out there, but nothing like it used to be, that's for damn sure :(
