[quote=Borat]Borat: if you think that 190 unemployed attorneys AND 250 unemployed support staff (do you loathe paralegals and secretaries, too?) hitting the streets isn’t going to exacerbate this spiral into disaster, then you’re missing the big picture.
Again puh-leeze. They will have to go work in an ACTUAL INDUSTRY that produces something of value rather than just pushing paper. Let them go do accounting in a machine shop or for a plumbing business. Let them go to mortuary school. Let them learn how to drive a truck or dig holes in the ground. I think we can survive with a few less law firms.
What do you call 300 unemployed lawyers? A good start.[/quote]
Wow. You’re so right, Borat. What am I thinking? Hey, exactly which ACTUAL INDUSTRIES are still hiring those who produce things of value? Why don’t you post a sampling of machine shops or plumbing businesses in your local classifieds that are hiring right now.
Yeah, I’ll give you a few months or years to come up with that list.
When anyone loses a job in this depression — be it a lawyer, an equity trader, a teacher or a maid — it’s bad for everyone. Including you. But you probably won’t understand that until you lose your job.
And by the way, that’s a brilliant idea: send all the unemployed lawyers to mortuary school. They’re losing their homes – which means MORE foreclosures – and student loan funding is drying up. Just keep coming up with these gems, Borat. Maybe there’s a job for you on Obama’s economic team of clowns.
