Sunday

As I sit on my Korean made loo next to the Korean made washing machine while staring at my Korean phone before wandering past the kitchen’s Korean fridge and stove to my Korean sofa to switch on the Korean television while procrastinating about driving my Korean car to the supermarket to buy a bag full of mostly Korean groceries it dawned on me that the west may be in trouble, and that the only thing it might still excel at is blowing its own trumpet, self-delusion and creating new employment fields such as ‘rapid transformational therapist’ for an entire generation of school leavers sitting in front of a screen wondering WTF they are going to do with their lives now their parent’s generation off-shored every manufacturing job to Asia so they can buy the same goods they used to make at home for a thirty percent discount, and, even more sadly, because absolutely no one wants a blue collar job anymore because the dole pays roughly the same?
