"Us" or "we" being the ones affected by this recession.
New industry ideas is where the most benefit lies as far as I'm concerned. To make anything faster, cheaper, better, or more efficient requires a "need," the finger that does the prodding. Nobody innovates without a motivation. These kind of times spur some creative thinking, that's for sure. This is where the recession "helps" business and consumers in the long run.
That which doesn't kill you may become a festering infection. Stealing away needed energy.... If too many are forced to cut to the bone, and market conditions do not improve, what next..?
some get more, some get less. hopefully new directions emerge, new industry and ideas, and more people end up in a stronger position.

New topic: The Recession.
Just a short bit here. What's going to kill the recession? I'm wondering if anybody who's in manufacturing or retail has been experiencing what we have recently. Hungry vendors and salesmen. It's like a tank full of piranhas-they're all out there for that fish. The cost of much stock product is going down for us here-I'm wondering how widespread this is. Is this happening in a good way? I think so. The fatty companies that can't handle price wars are driven out being replaced by the lean and mean ones that've figured out how to make a buck without waste. The only thing is, I don't know what's going on with raw materials. I don't know if companies are killing themselves to make a buck with raw materials cost rising or staying static...
This is the way of the free market. Self correcting and efficient. What's it mean for "us," good, bad, ugly....?
