That’s right. Minimum wage is for kids. A man ought to find a way to contribute to our economy at a higher level if he’s going to take a higher level of return out of it—such as to support a family.

A nation of unskilled lumps, sitting around, wanting to be bag boys at the supermarket is going to earn a standard of living about the level of that in Egypt or Peru.

Any “man” who daily doesn’t ask himself “is this a job that will still be here in a year?” and then acts on the answer is a self-delusional fool.

I always hear footsteps and take advantage of EVERY chance to add more tools to my toolkit.

Value is the name of the game. Operating a 40-year old oven should never have been a career choice for anyone who started less than 30 years ago.
