Stop playing the victim... there will be people that profit from these changes and others that perish... I worry that you'll be on the losing side in this venture.
Sorry bud but the Cold War is over... Capitalism won and communism is dead, sponsors aren't charities and as far as I'm concerned, they've earned everything they've achieved for the most part.
Taking that 5 minutes out of your 16-hour days to think about how you can work smarter instead of pissing & moaning about who drives what and who is living where might be a tad more productive.
I'd recommend "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber to get your mind a bit more on track with staying profitable and expanding your business in a downturned market.
And I'd bet money that you're under 25.
