The trades are a tremendous career for anyone who has a work ethic. We pay $150/hour when we call commercial HVAC vendors to work on specialized equipment. Check this out @JacobSimps54910.
Mike Rowe says he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.” All three have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high. ROWE: “I was in Plano, Texas… got a tour of a data center.” “I ran into three electricians, all under 30, all making north of 240 grand a year, all debt-free.” “Now here’s the craziest part. All three had been poached three times in the prior 18 months.” “The shortages are so acute that the companies don’t have time to train. They have to poach.” “Great news for an electrician. But it’s a little weird for the economy overall.”

An American fighter emerges victorious… His opponent does not get knocked unconscious or carried out. He retires on his stool. He effectively concedes. The contest ends through surrender rather than destruction. The old order is not violently overthrown. It simply reaches a point where it can no longer continue. The opponent, (foreign-born champion who entered undefeated at 17-0, yes 17) remains present, but relinquishes the contest; the fight did not end with a referee stoppage. Topuria’s own corner and brother decided to stop the fight to protect him. In symbolic terms, that is closer to a voluntary surrender than a forced defeat. The sequence resembles a ceremonial transition more than a conquest: First, the challenge. Then, the surrender. Then, the recognition of authority. Historically, many transfers of power were deliberately staged to communicate legitimacy. The losing side would publicly acknowledge the outcome, allowing the new order to be seen as accepted rather than merely imposed. H/T Laura Aboli

We all want the very best for our kids. We give them opportunities. We cheer them on. We hire coaches and tutors. But, I’ve learned over the years that none of that REALLY matters until your child decides to engage and to want the best for themselves!!

During Covid, they gave up valuable wall space in retail stores. Other shoe brands stepped in. Consumers bought what they saw, and the $NKE brand lost tremendous market share. I held them for quite some time, but sold when I saw the opportunity.
Guys, honestly - where is the bottom for Nike $NKE? I know a LOT has been talked about here with the iconic, global Brand. Did COVID ruin them when they pivoted to direct to consumer? Is it branding? Did they lose the "IT" Factor? If Nike $NKE dropped to $40, buying?
