re: "Visa Adjudicators Needed? We Have the Best Suggestion Ever - Unmarried FSOs Pay Attention, Please"

Thanks to Domani Spero at Diplopundit ("Just one obsessive observer, diplomatic watcher, opinionator and noodle newsmaker monitoring the goings on at Foggy Bottom and the worldwide available universe.") for the link, quote, and the mention.

What she said:

"(A)fter I posted this, I got the best suggestion ever from Consul-at-Arms that I felt darn compelled to pass along"

What I said:

"Obviously, the thing to do is require unmarried FSOs to chose
English-fluent spouses from one of the BRIC countries until further
notice."

Her response:

"Oh, yeah! I am so looking forward to a BRIC-dating service sponsored by the Consular Affairs Bureau ...

Well, aren't you?

Didn't you know that these four countries, combined, currently account for more than a quarter of the world's land area and more than 40% of the world's population? Apparently, Goldman Sachs has argued that, since the four BRIC countries are developing rapidly, by 2050 their combined economies could eclipse the combined economies of the current richest countries of the world.

So, if Goldman Sachs is right on this, a BRIC-matching/dating service now, would be an excellent investment for the future of consular affairs!"
