Just kick them out into the snow? Fortunately, because of global warming, it’s unusually warm snow

This is heartless. Those who have escaped the dreaded “job lock” have to have a warm places to write their poetry and play their lutes. Is there no compassion in NYC?

Fire them across the border into Mexico. I hear it’s nice and warm there.

It’s only fair.
