QUOTE Owning multiple franchises comes with the potential for making a “darn good living,” UNQUOTE Yup, I think the key is having multiple stores. And of course, maybe even more important is having good managers to run them!!!

I agree with the article. Virtual cannot replace face to face.

@Horace one clam is not much of a dinner

Final exam in order to receive your degree, is to think about the following by Whitehead, and discuss as a deeply thought-out essay. Time limit is 2 hours (if pursuing a BA), or if using ChatGPT, 30 seconds (if pursuing a BS). "Education is, the acquisition of the art of the utilization of knowledge." I've always wanted to be able to give this or similar to entering freshmen (leaving out my sarcasm of course), and then again at the end of the degree program, just to see how much intellectual growth has taken place after 4 years and a boatload of money. It would be fun!

@LuFins-Dad said in Interesting policy proposal from…. Donald Trump?: @Mik said in Interesting policy proposal from…. Donald Trump?: It all sounds very nice, but an awfully big lift for a four year term in a country awash in deficits. And don’t forget a Lame Duck presidency … Yeah, but the Duck will be gone in two years. But he'll still be lame.

Pretty much the same here.

About assisted living...I have some friends (husband and wife) that started one. Since both are nurses, but the husband was an old rockhound, they not only oversaw and did some of the construction, but they cobbled up generic care plans, dietary, etc., before they even opened. The original building was like a one-level, bunch of one-bedroom efficiency apartments...sitting area with kitchenette (no stoves), bedroom with connecting bathroom. They did so well, they built some more, but in a different style. They built a series of individual cabins, all around a small courtyard. All cabins on slab, with like a little covered patio in front of each. The cabins have been a huge hit. Residents are allowed to bring their own furniture and they are a bit larger than the original apartments. All the residents have access to regularly scheduled fun things...bingo, game night, music night, church services, with a shopping trip or two during the week. Once a quarter they can go on a lengthier, long-weekend trip (health permitting)...Florida Panhandle, Houston, Ozarks, etc.

@Horace said in AI hedge funds: I wonder how many hedge funds controlled by AIs are in the offing or already deployed. What a perfect problem domain. I wonder what effect that will have on the markets. Fear not, AI is already seeping its way into the legal profession and making some lawyers obsolete. Which will cause them to get off their ass and start some lawsuits and regulation.

They want $500 for that Bowmore. I think not. I love the way the Whistle Pig says "AGED 6 YEARS" on the bottle.

Side work. But if the tech sector goes totally flat, he could make a living. He could play seven days a week, if he had to.

Just the Biden investment thing. And judges. The media, after all their horse shit about Trump, has said nary a peep about Biden's record setting pace of 100 judges in two years.
