@phooky have you considered sending them to Comptometer school? It's interesting work in refined business surroundings, and there is excellent pay right from the start.

@th I hear that comptocurrency is going to be huge!

@th *does further research* I regret to inform you that comptocurrency is going to require such intense manual cranking that it is projected to absorb all of earth's existing beefcake resources by 2023

@phooky There is no dodging the issue: there is more work to do and fewer to do it. You might have to employ women in the office to crank the comptometers.

@th we will have penniless orphans cranking the comptometers around the clock if it increases comptocurrency value
