Nah. I work alone. I make 3 k in two days retrofitting HVAC systems because I don't have to pay anyone else. Did two in the last two weeks. Most companies use at least two guys to do what I do alone. Then I go play golf or go sailing or on a motorcycle ride or walk my dog on "my " beach and woods. I get the satisfaction of making something, it pays well, and reduces CO2 emissions. And I arrange my work around the weather. Golf takes precedence.
I could retire but I don't mind my work, almost enjoy it, and it keeps me in shape.
Actually I will give you credit for balancing work and life. It is good that you enjoy golf, sailing, and your other activities.
I will also admit I respect people who work in trades and run their own company such as HVAC. I understand the pain of having employees when running a small firm, and the trade-offs of doing it yourself versus having helpers.
My brother-in-law ran his own electrician firm. In his early years once in a while I was his helper (when he was desperate... I have electrical engineering degrees but no electrician license). He ran his own firm for twenty years with two helpers before selling it to a competitor. He "retired" (which lasted for four weeks before he went stir crazy) and then went to work as a electrician for the local school system about nine months ago. He is also the electrician for Habitat.
You are in favour of making things progressively worse?
Oh, and how is that?
And you are not a progressive anyway. You're a "libertarian". Not the same thing. In fact libertarians would take us backwards. Mutually exclusive terms.
What's your handicap?
I guess around 13
If I didn't drink beers and smoke pot while playing I might do better.
You can smoke pot and play better...just stop drinking the beer.
Obama is a 'progressive' and I'm not sure that Anyone believes the country has progressed: economically, socially, fiscally, whatever....for the better, in the last 7 years.
