[WOBBLY BOB]

No. She’s freezing to death (in ND)

[fight_truth_decay]

You need to ask?

[Secret Agent Man]

Depends what they got their degree in. If it’s in basekt weaving or feminist lesbian poetry, those people are just future burger king workers with a mountain of personal debt.

What does a Liberal Arts major say while knocking on your door?

[dragnet2]

Unfortunately, for all those poor slobs left working, they have to take up the slack for the millions that were laid off, and are made to work like slaves...Most are working twice as hard for less money, and in many cases, in lieu of deserved raises, as the greedy biz owners give them meaningless incentives, unachievable commissions, stupid cheap prizes.

"Earn yourself that college education and you will much more likely to be employed."

Or save yourself $100,000.

Trumandogz has a college degree but can't compose a lucid sentence. Use that cash to buy ammo. When TSHTF the college zombies will be stumbling up through the woods looking for food. Let the hot chicks in and send the rest to their fate.

Is that what Bismarck, ND looks like in summer? Was there in January, 1991 and nearly froze my tail off.

And to think that North of that place more people live.

Well, of course she's thin; she doesn't have time to eat.

OK, I’ll bite; what DOES a Liberal Arts major say while knocking on my door?

[Soothesayer9]

They would overpower you long before you could reload.

Brother, can you spare a paradigm?

[panthermom]

You do what you got to do. A friend on of mine’s husband is already there and after Christmas the rest of the family is moving. He is in the construction business and the work outlook is that they are backed up 7 yrs. I guess for some people, they don’t wait for the work to come to them, they go to the work.
