The New Yorker: [C]onstruction workers who are going to have to start plying a new trade

2011, Daniel Stewart


(Click to view page) James Surowiecki, The Financial Page, “The Jobs Crisis,” The New Yorker, January 3, 2011, p. 23	}	Monday, January 3, 2011 Staff writer, James Surowiecki explores structural unemployment on The Financial Page of The New Yorker. Addressing the future plight of unemployed skilled labor with a slick pun: “Structural issues aren’t irrelevant, of course; there are certainly plenty of construction workers who are going to have start plying a new trade.” I believe this sentence is missing a preposition. “Structural issues aren’t irrelevant, of course; there are certainly plenty of construction workers who are going to have to start plying a new trade.”

Nobody pulls over for emergency vehicles
while driving

Because they are everywhere

Describing the place: “It feels more like a hotel than a like a house” I believe the 2nd indefinite article in this sentence is unnecessary. “It feels more like a hotel than like a house”

Coachella

For one weekend
and a day,
halfway through
the month before May,
all the kids get together
they drive away from LA.

Some book hotels
they pamphlet the day,
they’re all in agreement,
“We came here to play!”

And I swear this damn town,
I mean that of LA
almost shuts down,
“Rather quiet,” I say.
When that sound
cometh ‘round,
138 miles
away.

For that day
for that weekend halfway,
for that month before May.

So, the Dow Jones drops, like,
a couple a’ thou.
A flaw in the model,

Definitional Implication

Drawing from a 3cr philosophy background,
I will explain the relationship between
AXE body spray & MAXIM magazine.
If a man wears AXE body spray,
Then that man also reads MAXIM magazine.
Not all men who read MAXIM magazine,
wear AXE body spray.
But all men who wear AXE body spray,
read MAXIM magazine.

If ever I have the financial means to do so
I will buy a tow truck,
and when I go out,
I will park it wherever the fuck I feel like.

Hazards ablaze.

East on the 10
Toward downtown Los Angeles:
At some point
it seems,
every single driver
collectively agrees,
“Fuck it, we’re going 80.”
They can’t ticket everyone,

A friend of mine,
this one girl,
she’s trying to lose weight.

Two weeks in,
she doth begin
to look quite thin.
Always out-of-it,
while rarely ever out.

This one thing,

she swears by it.
(But I can’t remember it’s name.)
What’s the name of that one thing?
