I was thinking about this the other day, yes, thinking, and I came to the conclusion that should the economy continue its descent into obliteration, we may have to resort to drastic measures.
Drastic.
No, not that drastic, well, in so much as the food supply holds up (but in that case I am a strong supporter of Soylent Green{Soylent Green being little green wafers[these wafers being recycled dead people...that we'd eat]}). No, I was thinking more along the lines of specialized creative employment opportunity. In layman's terms, we would probably have to resort to making up jobs, essentially serving no purpose, to create employment in a last-ditch effort to boost the economy. For example, now with your Masters Degree in Pathology, you too can become a sandwich weigher! With new imposed taxes and regulations, all sandwiches must weigh exactly 13 ounces or less, or face heavy fines. Enter the sandwich weigher, dutifully making sure all sandwiches are regulation-size.
I'm excited.
Or how about with your PhD in whatever (because it doesn't matter), going to work as an honored and revered bowling ball polisher! Yeah, like I said, creative jobs.
And in the worst case of our economy going down the tubes, we may even have to get rid of IMPORTANT jobs! Imagine the tears on the distraught children's faces now...their most beloved person ever put out of work, unable to provide for them the things their youthful hearts need and crave. Imagine the pain they will feel as this person, forced to retire in shame, turns from them to go into a lifetime of grief and uselessness. All this because his workforce was deemed unnecessary.
If Santa Claus isn't your kid's most favorite person, I'd say you have misaligned their priorities.
But on a lighter note, we should really look into that Soylent Green thing...
The other is people.
