You know when the shit comes down

[Ichingcarpenter]

and the ice caps melt and society is trying to survive.


Nurses, teachers, doctors, artist, musicians.electricians, carpenters, farmers ,scientist etc. will be the ones that society wants



Not politicians bankers, wall street or realtors.

although they may want on that ship........

[Autumn]

1. When the shit comes down I don't think what society wants will matter.

I think how much it costs to get on that ship will determine who gets on.

2. That's not what the aliens told me

but what do they know about what makes a society work.

They don't have banks.

LOL

13. Probably the word...but not Giving Up...even though

the "Shit Comes Down"...made me want to do

What a tangled web we weave.........for our Oligarchs.

3. Wooden ships on the water very free and easy . . .

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us

Aaaah ...
Go take your sister then by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us

When all's said and done, I suspect those who will be in demand "when the shit comes down" are those who possess the juice, those with vehicles and gasoline and food and guns. Think Mad Max, or better yet, The Road Warrior. I believe that's a better picture of where we'll be, "when the shit comes down."

4. Sadly, I think the mindless Shittoheads will still look to the RW Hatemongers

... to tell them how to think and to guide them each step
along the way, just like the lost lemmings they are.

5. wonder where attorneys would fit?

Almost everyone on the list has non out-sourcable jobs....they are the future.

My oldest is shooting for nurse-practitioner. She said Obamacare made her look more closely at that occupation. Love my kid who is finally old enough this year to vote!!!

8. laws should be written by poets

not lawyers

so I have to go with Shakespeare on that

[KamaAina]

9. Well, with sea levels rising,

it should be easy to get a thousand of them chained together at the bottom of the ocean -- a good start!

[airplaneman]

15. This reminds me of the quote by libertarians

"A rising tide raises all ships".
To which I reply.
"A rising tide drowns all those chained to the bottom".
I like your start.

6. no place left for software developers?

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. critical thinking

they are a go.

[pffshht]

14. Sure there is- it's called India.

But probably not for long, I'm sure a few hundred thousand of them are working full time at minimum wage to develop a completely automated software development system that will put 99.9% of them out of a job.

7. I hope an English teacher is on whatever ship you're on, and you two meet. nt

11. Chomsky is invited

but they don't think he will live long enough.

[KoKo]

12. I don't think this poster has a problem with that...and I would

be HAPPY to any ship he/she is on.

[XRubicon]
