@CrimeWatchMpls Sometimes it gets a little wonky. I have a friend who is a contractor, he has a sub contractor who is legal, BUT some of the folks on HIS crew may be iffy.
Summing up the Blue Zones:
Researcher: "We found 50 centenarians in this mountain village! They eat mostly plants!"
Local official: "Actually we have a pension fraud problem. Many of those people aren't that old."
Researcher: "We're not going to include that in the documentary."
Local butcher: "Also we eat a lot of lamb and cheese here."
Researcher: "We filmed someone eating vegetables so that's what we're going with."
Centenarian: "I've eaten pork fat every day for 90 years."
Researcher: "Can you hold this bowl of lentils for the camera?"
Centenarian: "But I don't eat..."
Researcher: "Just hold it. Say something about plants."
Netflix viewers: "Wow, lentils are the secret to longevity!"
People are tired of these 3 letter gov't agencies stomping around their cities. My proposal? 4 letter agencies. Goodbye "ICE" hello "NICE" National Immigration And Customs Enforcement.
Charlie Munger:
“The secret to life is easy because it's so simple:
You don’t have a lot of envy or resentment. You don’t overspend your income. You stay cheerful in spite of your troubles. You deal with reliable people and you do what you’re supposed to do.”
Mike Rowe: “For every five tradespeople that retire this year, two replace them.”
“It’s been that way for 12 years.”
“I don’t need to be a mathematician, this is bad arithmetic.”
“7.2 million able-bodied men today, in their prime working years, are not only unemployed … they’re not even looking.”
“What are they doing?”
“2,000 hours a year, on average, on screens.”
“I got a call from a company called BlueForge Alliance … in charge of something called the maritime industrial base.”
“The maritime industrial base consists of 15,000 individual companies, all of whom are tasked with delivering thermonuclear-powered submarines to the US Navy—three a year, two Virginia-class, one Columbia.”
“BlueForge Alliance calls me and they say, we need to hire some tradespeople, and we were wondering if you and your foundation could help.”
“I said, I’ll try, as you probably learned, it’s pretty skinny out there … how many do you need?”
“They said 100,000.”
“100,000 tradespeople for one industry that most people don’t even think about.”
“They said, we’ve looked everywhere … do you know where they are?”
“I said, yeah I do, they’re in the eighth grade.”
“That’s 100,000 building submarines. There’s 80,000 in the automotive industry alone for technicians. Right now … 80,000 openings.”
“You start to go down the list and you begin to realize our workforce is wildly out of balance.”
