No, don't be silly. Individuals and families will linger for a century or two (well,not the same individuals).

We might, however, soon reach the point of no return. If not already.

The pie chart of the former may not be very determinate, but the pie chart of the latter is damn huge.

Almost always got a tip delivering landscaping and masonry supplies to Lawn Guyland middle and working class folks, even if it was just a can of soda or two bucks for coffee. Things got dicey in the "classier" neighborhoods.

If only they'd tell you that they were unethical douchebags up front.

In the old universe, there'd be almost no lawyer who could say no to a legitimate Billionaire In Trouble.

But we've crossed the Derp Horizon into the Trumpleverse, and no reality can escape anymore.

Also, he's a Thousandaire, at best.

IKR. It's like wearing a "get me a beer bitch" t shirt to your divorce hearing presided over by a female judge.

As another lawyer, I disagree. There are a lot of no-contest procedures (name changes, just to take one obvious example) where a literate person can use a resource like Nolo and save a thousand bucks. Sure, s/he will have to be willing to take on a new hobby for a while, and it will likely take longer than it would with an attorney (at least, a conscientious one), but MUCH cheaper. That said, getting into litigation as a pro se is almost always a bad idea. But for a non-contested matter, even something like a probate, a person with attention to detail can do it without a lawyer. Most people are not that person, in this day and age. But, even if I WEREN'T a lawyer, I would feel comfy doing some things via Nolo. (I'm maybe not representative either.) All of this does not apply to other, different, cookie-cutter paralegal-type firms. They can fuck you by inadvertence and/or ignorance, because they just don't care.

It's too bad that Jacques "Terror Advocate" Vergès is dead because he would have been thrilled to be able to defend Trump.
