I know this illegal alien in San Francisco —he’s legal now, and a great, smart guy. He came here and lived in someone’s garage for years, working as an HVAC guy.
Someone nasty got him fired for some contrived stuff —he had to strike out on his own. He succeeded, and later the company that fired him ended up having to subcontract him, but for over $150 per hour —way more than he was making when he was their employee; he ended up delighted he’d been fired.
He’s an autodidact and knows all kids of arcane stuff —he even married a daughter of Henry Kissinger at one point.
He’s rich now, actually —his house is really cool. He has lots of people working for him. He’s also a huge conservative.
He’s way smarter than about 95% of the people I knew in college, and since, also. He’s one of the few guys I know not on FR who almost ALWAYS knows more than me about anything that comes up.
He quit school in middle-school. His new wife has huge boobs —not bad.

It’s not brain food, but I hate it WAY LESS than network TV (I gave up the idiotTube over 10 years ago).
