Detroit, once a huge center of industry, has taken a turn for the worse in recent years thanks to robotics.

robotics is NOT what made Detroit crash and burn

Osamacare “navigator”? Come to think of it, OsamaCare will probably spawn the new profession of helping people figure out how to get OUT of buying it. See, The Won [Again] has created two new professions right there!

And here is your real live Nudge Director:

When does a nudge become a shove?

Americans may find out in coming years, as the federal government is setting up a 'behavioral insights team' to tinker with the way we accomplish everything from saving money and staying in school to losing weight and becoming more energy-efficient.

A document from Maya Shankar, a late-20s Yale graduate and former violin prodigy, sketches out the Obama administration's grand plans for behavioral science.

Shankar joined the Obama administration in April as a senior policy advisor at the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy.

'[I]nsights from the social and behavioral sciences can be used to help design public policies that work better, cost less, and help people to achieve their goals,' says her proposal, first spotted by Fox News when Shankar sought help from a university professor.

I neither said nor implied anything about the OP.

I simply listed five jobs that didn’t exist ten years ago.

He thought I was trying to bust you for something.

Probably because of the folks I pinged to enjoy my little joke about “new jobs.”

It really had nothing whatever to do with you, but he felt he needed to defend you. He’s in the kitchen now pouring another one.

You’re both good FRiends, as far as I’m concerned, so let’s not fight unless there’s a good reason. Ref. the article, can you believe those salaries for what, in reality, are jumped-up bloggers and webmasters? And I wish he’d pour me a bourbon or single malt Scotch. LOL

We’re not fighting.

That’s how we talk to each other.

And that’s the point of the joke I was making - that all these trumped up “jobs” are nothing more than internet geeks.

(Although as Official Keeper of the BLatting OG I feel my remuneration is wholly inadequate.)

Whoa! That’s scary....

Had to look around and be sure there were no cameras...

Stopped drinking last month.

Dropping LBS and drinking is wasted calories that pack on weight and keep it on.
