New jobs all around

The New York Post this morning is reporting an economic surge in local environs…

"Liberal New Yorkers are making bank selling anti-Trump merchandise at protests. And they’re suddenly not as upset over Hillary’s Clinton’s loss."
Meanwhile, the Associated Press notes…
"A remote Eskimo village on a tundra-covered island in western Alaska is hoping to counter its steep unemployment rate and achieve greater self-sufficiency through one of its few resources: reindeer meat."
That's right, these Alaskans are going to turn Rudolph, not to mention Dancer and Prancer, into steaks and sell them to folks who are tired of eating caribou. And the've already got nearly $2 million in federal grants for their slaughterhouse.

Back at the Post, we read about an emerging "relationship replacement" industry in Japan…
"At the weirder end of the spectrum, you can pay $70 to spend an hour with a woman who will dress up as your favorite anime character and hold your hand."
(I don't know what's so weird about that. Do they have an Olive Oyl?)


Me, I'm thinking of going into the "sleep replacement" industry. If you're feeling sleep-deprived and overworked you can hire me to take a nap for you.

I think I know some people who could take advantage of that sleep replacement. Count me in!
