I agree with you. You asked if I thought lots of jobs will be lost. I'm about your age, and I think this will be unlike anything in our lifetimes, if it becomes even close to projections. This will make the Carter years, (farmer's borrowing at 21% , many losing farms, huge gas lines, and high unemployment) look like candyland.
I don't know about California, but Arizona is over one billion dollars in the red, already. ...bobford
