Great question. Honestly, I don’t know what kind of productive work these grifters can get. Retail? No. Manufacturing? No. Roofing, drywalling, or concrete work? No. Babysitting? No. Customer service? No. Farming? No? Nursing or caregiving? No. Seasonal crop picking? No. I also cannot think of anyone who would hire them. 🤷‍♀️

I understand there’s coming a real shortage of blueberry and lettuce pickers.

Massage with happy ending or Starbucks barrista.

The other option is the universal income some people were just designed to sit on the couch all day and watch TEEVEE.

Sell them in Hillary's Libyan slave markets...

A bit harsh, but they WILL be of some use to someone.

All profits to the Border Patrol.

Indeed it will be hard to find these grifters productive work. What does one do with hundreds and thousands of unemployed lawyers?

Nothing because lawyers are useless. Out of all the useless professions that exist, lawyers take the crown. They produce absolutely nothing. They take, take and then take some more. Once I received a settlement from a class action lawsuit involving a telecommunications company in my region. The settlement was for a billion or so dollars. Guess what I got? $2.54. In a check. They acted like I should roll out the red carpet and thank them for their efforts in getting me enough money to barely pay for a Snickers. The "loyas" probably took 3/4 of the billions and bought themselves beach houses in Costa Rica and divided up the rest among us poor schmucks, millions of us. Lawyers thrive on other's misfortune and misery and profit from failure and accident. The most utterly useless profession and one of the most destructive forces on our modern society. They can't do anything but argue and most can't even do that very well. So, they end up in politics. They end up as lawmakers corrupting the law to the point that we must have "loyas" to interpret the fucking law they just wrote.

There is so much wrong in this goddamned country and there is nobody there to fix it. Trump? Musk? I'm enjoying the show now but will it last? Who knows.

Supply and demand. Too damn many of the “locusts” around and they are in a position of control. Like their politician sect, when they do not have enough to do, they make stuff up. The TV ads are disgusting. Why does Congress et al make up new laws, or create investigations? Make work!!

The answer? A good start!

Cannon fodder in a good war?

I agree, these grifters are the worst!!! However, if you look at America in particular, and the West in general, many (most) people are not engaged in productive work. Many people make good money "pushing paper" -- that is creating or obtaining data, creating reports, to micromanage or help others micromanage the people who ARE engaged in constructive work, like essential workers or doctors or nurses. Many play with FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate).

We are in dire straits. Denying the White House to Biden/Harris, and electing Trump was an absolute prerequisite to slowing the rampant decline, but we are still headed toward an inevitable reckoning.

Pity the poor sucker that does hire them!
