The one question I have never been able to get a straight answer on. What field should the millions of displaced American IT workers get trained in?
It is always sais that people should be responsbile and learn new skills and train in a new field. When the farm economy shifted to manufacturing, people learned factory work. When manufacturing started to be offshored people were advised to get into IT. What field should people start to train in? Bush talks about training displaced workers, but I haven't heard
Anything in the service arena. With the huge savings my company received from offshoring development, I finally got that new lexus I wanted. What I'm noticing, is that the lack of quality amoung local car wash workers is really terrible. I think we could retain some of the VB code monkeys into excellent window washers and wipe-down workers. In fact I think we should return to the days of the full-service gas station. It annoys me to have to keep getting out of my big SUV and fill it with permium gas. There should be people who do that for us.
a blonde is trying to earn some money to go visit her parents so she decides to do some odd jobs. she goes up to this one expensive-looking house and asks if there's anything she can do for some cash. the owner says "y'know, you could paint my porch. here's a hundred to get the stuff you need and i'll give you the rest later."
2 hours later she knocks on his door and says "all done! but i think you should know that it's not a porch. it's a ferrari!"
Are there actually that few [mcall.com] full-serve gas stations in the US?
Here in Canada, (Ontario at least) I'd say there are about a 50/50 split of full-serve/self-serve gas stations. Generally, the full-serve stations are.2 to.7 cents per litre more expensive.
all of hte bluebloods want you to be their servants and America to be their own large private plantation over which they exercise absolute control
kerry and bush are on the same team, but go ahead and whine about the symptoms some more, this is/. after all, capital of self-pity in the digital world
