[Hector Resendez - Trade School Secrets @TS_Secrets]

One of my buddy’s sons skipped college and became an electrician at 18.

He was told either college or military were his only two options.

His parents weren’t exactly excited when he went to trade school. Actually they were a little embarrassed.

Most of their friends’ kids were going off to universities. Their son was showing up to job sites at 6am.

By 21 he was making $90k

By 24 he had his master electrician license making over $120k

At 27 he started taking his own jobs on the side for a total of $200k

Last year at 29 his little “electrician business” did $1.8M with 4 vans.

Funny how that works.

His parents used to explain why he didn’t go to college.

Now they tell everyone he owns an electrical company.

We need more 18-year-olds to know this path exists.

Day 229 tagging @mikeroweworks until more parents start bragging about trade school too.

Consider to RT if you agree.

Ground beef shouldn’t even be on their radar.

For the first time in decades, I finally started making a decent profit with my cattle.
Because of this I put the wheels in motion to grow my herd, acquired more land, etc.
The market crashed $35ctw overnight because of Trumps announcement.
I now have to put my plans on hold
No $

You think texting and driving is dangerous?

You should have been around when I was flipping through that 120 book of CD’s in my lap while driving.

Those that dont know, it takes around 18 months to get an animal to processing weight depending on what they eat, how much you feed them and how good is their water.
Lets say "live weight" of the cow is 1200 pounds.
Hanging weight(carcus) is approximately 65% of that.
1200lbs @ 65% = 780lbs
Out of the hanging weight you get around 60% usable beef of different cuts.
780lbs @ 60% is 468lbs.
So if you pay $8.00 per pound across the board, thats $3800 for a whole cow at today's good hamburger price. Its the same as buying bulk for any consumable.
Cows grow under trees not on them.

@NickJFreitas @BernieSanders Maybe he could make a statement on where he stands on Soros money??!

[Gary Shaw @unhipuplander]

A week ago he said $5 diesel was not that expensive and now the ranchers get a huge fuck you because ground beef is too expensive. A bag of chips cost more than a lb of hamburger.

Analogy: Study in Stupid!
@POTUS @realDonaldTrump @SecRollins
I will save the American auto industry by importing tariff free cheap cars & trucks to take the pressure off our auto manufactures🤦‍♂️
Same as bringing in cheap tariff free beef to save the consumer & cattle industry

[Mike Armstrong @Marmstrong415]

I feel sure everything they import in is as pure as new fallen snow! Cartel members would never do anything to make obscene profit’s 🤔🤔🤔

[Cattleman🪓 @cattleguy92]

I’m sure the recent round up of thousands of wild horses wouldn’t have anything to do with the now announced import of more “ground beef”
Right?
How would you know what is in that boxed import?
Know your rancher my friends!
Be on a first name basis!🥩

[Mike Armstrong @Marmstrong415]

You got this one wrong, my thoughts in the comments. This does not give breathing room at all.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

TRUMP JUST CUT A DEAL ON GROUND BEEF.

For the next 90 days, the U.S. will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef in with no out-of-quota tariff.

That beef will be sold at 25% below current market prices.

This does two things at once:

- Lowers the price at the grocery store for working families
- Gives American ranchers breathing room to rebuild the cattle herd that got crushed under Biden

Biden left us with record-high beef prices and the smallest herd in modern history. Trump is fixing both.

This is how you put Americans first.

[Mike Armstrong @Marmstrong415]

@GuntherEagleman Lets start with MCOOL. US beef may go up but if and when the consumer decides to buy american the imported meat will drop drastically and all the folks who want cheap meat can then afford to buy it. But follow the money! When your food supply is stockholder and cartel controled…

[Mike Armstrong @Marmstrong415]

@GuntherEagleman You got this one wrong. We broke up ma bell and if you want to fix this look at the big three. My inputs have skyrocketed and nobody factors that in. Doritiis up 300%! We do not see anyone “fixing” that.

[Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV]

We need mandatory country of origin labels on every food product in America.

I want to know where my food comes from.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

We were vegetarians for more than 30 years.
We thought we ate well.
By 2022, we were both technically obese and in poor metabolic health.
So we did something unfashionable: we changed our minds.
We ate meat. Prioritized protein. Cut processed carbohydrates, seed oils, added sugars and ultra-processed food. We began eating eggs from our chickens, meat raised on grass, raw milk, vegetables from our garden and grains we milled ourselves.
We each lost 50 pounds. Years later, the weight is still gone. So are several chronic problems we had begun to accept as “aging.”
Maybe the first intervention in your health isn't another prescription.
Maybe it is dinner.

"The First Intervention: Eat Differently"

All I'm saying is, I've seen worse ideas work.

[Mike Holmes @Make_It_Right]

Trade schools should get just as much respect as universities. You walk out with real-world skills, no debt, and a career that’s in demand.
