Which is a quite different thing from saying that there is no such thing as being underpaid.

I'm all for taking personal responsibility into account, but sometimes things can be son out of someone's control that personal responsibility doesn't enter into it.

And the "they chose to work in a doomed industry" argument is just plain specious. Feckless (I love the chance to use that word) even.
