That's a mighty discouraging thought. I think we have some 600,000 practicing lawyers the last time that I looked, and over 2,000,000 people employed in the legal area.
Ballooning that already too-large number further is just an impediment as far as I am concerned.
Being a lawyer will be a growth industry until all our tort laws and draconian regulations are completely overhauled. Naturally, this overhaul will be done by lawyers.
In other words, we will need even more lawyers.
Forget about "manufacturing". That's old fogey thinking. As long as we can continue to print money and rules everything will be just fine.
Just fine.
