[ExI] new job

[Kelly Anderson]

That is what the Optimus robot is for Stuart.

There are some jobs Americans won't do, and many others are apparently
being shown the exit. Though I've seen some interesting thoughts on just
exactly how hard that is going to be. If, however, the
Republican supermajority makes REAL checking of ID necessary to get
virtually any above the table job, that might just make them self-evict.
