One of my pet theories on how to improve society is to start up a big stonework project. Something that would involve digging many big blocks of rock out the ground, cutting them into useful shapes, hauling them to a building site then stacking them up make something enduring, like the pyramids. Or an aqueduct, like the Romans did:

Egyptian civilization under the pharaohs lasted for thousands or years. Let me just emphasize that: Thousands of Years. Our country is looking at a measly 250 years. Think maybe we could learn something from the Egyptians or the Romans? Nah, that ain't gonna happen, we are better and smarter and know more than those guys ever thought of knowing.
Anyway, I'm thinking if the apparent problem in America today is the lack of jobs, maybe the real problem is we don't have enough people starting businesses that need people. If they need people for their business, they are going to hire people and that would be great.
Meanwhile, rumor has it that George Soros is hiring protesters to show up the No Kings protests.
I just realized that maybe George is following my advice and putting people to work. Okay, they are temporary jobs, but it is something. I'm not quite sure what the point of these protests is. Is this just an old man making himself feel better by doling out nickels to the starving? Or is he just amusing himself by staging these protests to see how irate people get? Or is he building a religion? If it's the later, I'm wondering what he is going to ask of his army of believers.
