Sit down and have a drink with them, and it turns out they’re just like Americans, just with a slightly different focus. Maybe that’s what annoys us.

In the end, thought, they’re about max pay for min work... just like we are.

I tend to think that a lot of jobs that can be done remotely are on the chopping block for elimination/consolidation. This has always been the case but it appears to be speeding up.

Computers and Robots are getting more and more capable and the type of jobs they will be able to perform will dramatically increase in the incoming decades.

Not investment advice.

Florida is a big destination, especially winter time. Gov DeSantis announced on Friday, 25 Sept, EO 20-244. This EO essentially opens the state back up again. Removes penalties for no mask wear and allows all restaurants, bars, theme parks etc to operate at 100% capacity - if they so chose. Businesses can still mandate mask wear if they so decide, just like they can with shirts and shoes for service. Nothing changes there. Local governments can not shut them down without justification (a laborious process now) and approval. The congressman I consult for as well as several more have been pushing this for about 2 months now. The congressmen/women hear from their constituents and the people want their state opened up. So DeSantis did with this EO.

At least it is a move in the right direction. The question is: are the people ready yet? "If we build it, will they come" is kind of where we are at right now IMHO.

This is not meant to be political, just information.
