The impasse between the Employed and the Unemployed is so strong, the last time I interviewed for a job (last week no less), the interviewer told to get lost and go get a job.

Good call today, let's play hang up on the loser ...
"Hello I'm calling because the resume you submitted is incomplete. It's missing your most recent job."
"No, the resume is complete, since I'm not currently working."
"... I'm sorry ... I have ... an urgent call on the other line."
"I sincerely doubt that you do."
"Goodbye!"

There's also impasse with people like myself who have switched from full-time to contract and are considering going back to full-time again. I was told that they weren't interested in hiring me because I had too many interests outside of coding, and too entrepreneurial. In other words, they were afraid I was going to bolt if I was treated badly.
Of course, I will bolt if I'm treated badly. I can afford to do that. The solution to that problem is, of course, not to treat your employees badly.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a compiler is a good guy with a compiler.

Just imagine how common this would be if USA had universal healthcare that wasn't tied to a job/workplace.
