Factories not what they used to be - they're all extremely high-tech.

Green jobs - those are jobs that feel like new economy jobs; they do require some training.
dog cat ends
I could do a franchise for the end of everything. 'The End of Dogs,' 'The End of Cats.'

The global economy is becoming a place where women are more successful than men, and these economic changes are starting to rapidly affect our culture - what our romantic comedies look like, what our marriages look like, what our dating lives look like, and our new set of superheroes.
teacher couple school
The average American worker gets something like 14 days of paid vacation. In my school, you'd use up ten of those taking care of your kids on teacher professional days, then tack on a couple more for kids getting sick.

The first time someone tried to share the Gospel with me, I naively explained that I was Jewish and born in Israel, thank you... This was a big mistake. In certain parts of Christian America, admitting I was an Israeli-born Jew turned me into walking catnip.

Women are choosing to stay single rather than marry men who can't step up and provide.
love
With the Jews, the questions are always open; we're always questioning. I love that questioning tradition.
