The Unemployed

Ned is, as we speak, acting in an undercover capacity at the Delta Sky Club at Portland OR airport. He was just served by a very friendly woman of Eritrean origin, whose English was a bit challenged. In fact, she just poured Ned a mixture of pinot noir and cabernet based on a linguistic misunderstanding. Ned will be interested in sampling such an unusual blend. His question, however, is with all the Americans out of work, how did this amiable person get this cushy job, pouring wine and beer for relatively affluent travelers? Aren't there Americans who need work? Ned only asks, he offers no critique. And now he will return to sampling his very unusual wine blend, and wish his friends well.
