So the recommended solution to losing your full time job and H-1B, is to get a part-time H-1B and a second job?!

Also a Green Card is not something you can lose/have to protect. I think the title should be updated to reflect "Green Card Application", which you absolutely can lose/have cancelled.

You can loose your green card if there is a suspicion you do not plan to continue to reside in the US (in theory, every time you cross the border, the customs agent can decide to revoke your green card on the spot. Luckily, this usually doesn't happen).
Yes, that is the solution I recommended in the article, because a lot of people are worried that the 60 day grace period won't be enough if they are laid off from their current H-1B employer.
