SOTU and Flipping 101?
OK, so in the SOTU B* is to tout 'retraining of Americans for 21st century Jobs" and this means that

all the un employed software programmers/developers/network admins et al whose jobs have been outsourced,
AND all the call center folks whose jobs are in Inja,
AND all the engineers suplanted by H1B visa holders and illegals,
AND all the state govt contractors whose jobs were taken by Taiwanese/Chinese/Indians,
AND all the attorneys whose jobs are just now being outsoureced,

are ALL supposed to go to Hamburger U for Flipping 101?

I don't think so. And what with 5 herds now quarantineed in WA State with soon to be quarantineed herds in 5 other states, well, I think maybe we won't need 23.9 million burger flippers in the USofA.


Any other ideas about what Americans can expect as 21st Century jobs?

Guide for Chinese Tourists?

2. KFC will be the place to be.
How about "how to work the cash register at Wal-Mart". That has to require some sort of job training.

5. OMG! That make's perfect sense! Deny people jobs
and they don't have to bring back the draft! The military will be a last resort for those families desperately struggling. If they are offering enlisted soldiers 10K to do another rotation, they are so desperate. I can't believe the thought didn't cross my mind earlier. And the police? They are making our country a police state already! Geez, it does make sense.
