I’m still in shock and so grateful for this surprise from the Golden Band from Tigerland! Thank you for the recognition. Nobody tell them, but I’m their biggest fan!!! 💜💛
Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.”
“Well, AI is coming for the coders.”
“It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.”
“In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.”
“The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?”
“I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.”
“These are our submarines. Things go hypersonic, a little sideways with China, Taiwan, our aircraft carriers are no longer the point of the spear. They’re vulnerable.”
“Our submarines matter, and these guys have a pinch point because they can’t find welders and electricians to get them built.”
“The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.”
“Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.”
“There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”

Yet another special night in the 337. A huge thank you to every McNeese fan for sending our seniors out the right way and for your unwavering support all season. The Bayou Bandits are headed to Beaumont on Saturday — plenty more work to do. The mission hasn’t changed. GEAUX POKES
@EntergyLA how long does one have to wait to get a security street light fixed after multiple calls and work orders being turned in with guarantees that call backs would happen and someone would be onsite?
