To start with, bankers have been laid off at a higher rate during this crisis than anyone other than construction workers or employees of the auto companies. To design a game where "bankers cannot get laid off" diminishes the experiences of literally tens of thousands of people who have lost their jobs over the last two years. You should also think for awhile about demonizing large groups of people on the basis of their profession. This game is entertaining, but obviously unfair.
