We got a $20k bid to paint our house, and a $65k bid.
Why do so many business owners think ripping people off is how you win?
I guess they "win" because 1 out of 5 people are naive enough to just sign the estimate and move on - and they take full advantage.
We went with the $20k, he did a great job, and we will refer him future business.
A vendor recently told us we needed a full replacement of our AC units - and sent a $50k quote.
Another sent a quote for $80k for the same job.
And this week, another vendor did a thorough inspection and told us these 2018 units simply need to be repaired, and have years left in them.
How do you actually win in business?
You quote a fair price. You show up. You do what you say you will. And you do a good job.
It's not that hard!
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

1/🚨Everyone asks: "Did Bill Gates know about Epstein?"
Wrong question.
The right question: How did a convicted sex offender gain editorial control over confidential intelligence from the Gates Foundation's polio program in Pakistan — and keep it for five years?
I have 16 documents. Thread 🧵👇
My feeling is that now it is "safe" to release the info that Epstein was really a sex trafficker as a side gig and was mainly an intelligence asset of Israel and the US, a big-time financial criminal on behalf of transnational capital (i would argue transnational organized crime disguised as transnational capital), and an arms trader because the people he was helping have stolen so much of America's wealth and have taken control over so much of the government.
That is why even admitting the true breadth of the scandal and operation doesn't even seem to move the needle. Criminals are in charge and they run both parties, they have created the infrastructure for neo-feudalism enforced by technology and are herding us into the corral.
Opt out of AI, digital ID and the surveillance state that Epstein associates built now because we still can.
THIS MUST BE IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED BY THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

If true (and it damn sure looks like that is the case), how will our WH & justice department respond?
How should they respond?
The great @danielsheehan45 already told us who killed JFK, why they did it and how it bizarrely relates to the Watergate scandal a decade later:
JFK was shot and killed at the behest of departed CIA director Allen Dulles (with LBJ and others’ knowledge and cooperation). This was after The Bay of Pigs and after JFK had fired Dulles and threatened to scatter the CIA to the winds. The departed Dulles, from his perch at the Brown Brothers Harriman (the investment firm that started the CIA), reoperationalized the “S Force”. The S Force was a group of exiled Cuban assassins, originally commissioned by Nixon, with the help of Howard Hughes, to take out Castro and Guevara under Eisenhower in the late 50’s (Nixon was Eisenhower’s VP). Dulles reoperationalized them in 63’ from his post at the Brown Brothers Harriman to take out JFK. Roger Morales (S Force, and one of the “men on grassy knoll”) shot JFK, not Oswald who was a trained patsy. Dulles and Co felt it was their patriotic duty to do all of this because JFK had established backchannels with Khrushchev and was threatening to defang the American nuclear arsenal. Charles Cabell was Allen Dulles’ deputy director at the CIA. His brother Earle was the mayor of Dallas when JFK was shot in 62’ (and his motorcade was rerouted). Go figure!
This connects to Watergate because Nixon got paranoid that he’d originally commissioned this S Force and would be blamed for JFK (his longtime political foe’s) death, even though the initial purpose was to take out Castro and Nixon had nothing to do with Dulles’ use of them against JFK. Nixon was doubly paranoid because Larry O’Brien, a longtime associate of Howard Hughes (again, Hughes worked with Nixon to create the S Force) was chairman of the DNC. So O’brien had kompromat on Nixon and could use it against Nixon in that election. As a result, Nixon wanted O’Brien’s phone bugged. His paranoia did him in. No other explanation for breaking into the DNC makes sense: Nixon was so far ahead of McGovern in the polls. But Watergate was REALLY pushed and executed by FBI agent G Gordon Liddy, and none other than Allen Dulles acolyte, James McCord (who was one of the burglars in the scandal). Like JFK, Nixon was at loggerheads with the CIA and wanted a major force reduction.
RFK was killed by the same forces as his brother. Sirhan Sirhan was also a patsy and an MK Ultra patient. Thane Eugene Ceasar took the shot. Also coordinated by Hughes cronies (Bob Maheu etc). @RobertKennedyJr knows this.
Let’s see if these details given to us by @danielsheehan45 get vindicated. And if we learn more about UFOs, Epstein affiliates and other dark truths too.
If you think the "deep state" was defeated and all you had to do was pull a lever for the right team and you can just watch as everything is made magically better and do nothing but "trust the plan" and "enjoy the show", you probably confused what "deep state" actually means with the wing of the uniparty that lost last year's election.
Mass complacency at a time of drastic, disruptive change is not a recipe for success. Vigilance and scrutiny matter, as does taking responsibility for your own life and community instead of placing all of your hope for a better life and world in the government. Many of the people who used to distrust the system the most (and who also have most of the citizen-held weapons) have been led to believe that they can fully trust everything happening and can let their guard down against tyranny.
They may not physically come for your guns, but they can still attempt to cognitively disarm the American people.
@LegendaryEnergy His name is Myron Golden - he’s someone worth checking out and listening to. His videos have helped me a lot in my business and mindset.
Bobby Kennedy Jr was asked to defend his skepticism toward some Vaccines at the NewsNation town hall and his answers immediately won over the crowd. https://t.co/ApBR627be8
Today with His Majesty King Charles III we launched the Climate Clock—a visual reminder of the urgency of the climate crisis. The climate emergency poses a threat not only to the future of our city but to the future of our world and that is why it must remain a key priority.
US gov't: You must take this to keep your job, it's an injection made by a corrupt company that couldn't bring any product to market for over 10 years until the EUA relaxed regulations.
Also US gov't: East Palestine Ohio's water and air is def safe. Ignore all the dead animals.
