    We have divisions of military contractors concentrated in large industrial clusters along our space coast. There is a definite uptick in manufacturing and assemblage in this area. They have hosted job fairs and are stealing workers away from the retail and hospitality industries right and left.

      Or pretty much a McDonald's burger and fries for every man, woman and child in the US of A. Not that I'd want a McEvil's anything, but just to wrap a sense of scale around it because Very Large Numbers tend to be confusing for people.

      This stuff is still rather depressing...

      Bright Blessings!
