You may want to look up the definition of failure

He does what he wants. You punch a time clock. I know which one I'd rather do.

I haven’t punched a clock in 25+ years. I do whatever I want everyday. I went fishing this morning and am deciding if I want to head in today. Try again big guy

Maybe not the goal, but if you are able to comfortably retire based on your accomplishments it does indicate something.

I’ve been comfortable for years. Why leave the game you love? I haven’t had to answer to anyone sense I was young.
How I judge my success is the fact that I have not set an alarm clock for work for 8-9 years. I still need to set one for fishing sometimes but we all have our axe to grind
I turned 50 the other day and did a deep dive into my life and there is very very little I would change
My hope is that everyone is as happy as I am and that is a true statement

Yes
That just means you hated what you did. Sorry for you

Wonder if those around you feel the same? We know your answer so don’t bother telling us how much better you are than everyone. We’ve already heard it.

I did what I loved for 30 years. But it was time. I went back to work not because I had to but because of the work that was getting done has purpose.

So we are in the same boat. I just haven’t left yet and don’t feel any need to
Hope all is great

Stop by my office and ask them. They are all family. Some blood others through friendship.

If you lived what you did and you retired young you are bored or will become bored and will be looking for the next thing. This is just human nature. I lion never stops hunting till he can’t hunt. You may not admit it but you know it’s true. I have been building high end homes for high value individuals my whole life and I have never seen a man truly retire. Just saying

Despite our difference on views I do hope you are as happy as you can be

I can point you towards contractors with long track records in the area and are very liberal.

Lets make sure we correct what your emotional mind has twisted up
The government forced business's to shut down
Then they offered money to help employers compensate employees during the forced shutdown
No one brought up 'the socialist left liberal radicals' thats your fabrication based on your emotion

Trump shaved years off of the vaccines roll out time by cutting away red tape
People like me didn't care because we were smart enough not to take an unnecessary vaccine, we let our bodies work the way they were intended, your side went absolutely bonkers over this fact and we absolutely loved it and still do

To say a 'good businessman' would hire someone based on a college degree tells me so much about you
There are a lot of educated idiots and smart people that never graduated high school
I've been in business for 28 years and I couldn't care less about a college degree in my field

Companies that create jobs should be given incentives because they employee people

PPP was started under Trump and the botched roll out was under biden. Just look up the money dispersed against local companies you know and you will see how grossly mishandled it was. Like it or not that is on this administration.

At my core I'm an adult man and a businessman. I rarely use emotion in decisions. Men like me leave that to others. That being said I don't put people in more then 2 boxes. I don't care what color you are, where you come from, who you sleep with, who your parents are, what your religion is, ect. I only care about what I judge as good vs not good those are my only 2 categories. Your side loves to seperate people into as many boxes as possible so everyone can fight with each other. Time will fix this once we can get the lefts ideology out of the way.

I noticed you didn't tell me which native Americans we took whatever land from because you know your argument is flawed. I'm not justifying anything that anyone did as far as taking land but being an adult I'm able to research history and I wouldn't judge people based on what they thought they had to do. Every single piece of ground on this rock has changed hands numerously over time, this is the way of things. In typical leftist fashion you complain but do nothing. If you are so upset about the atrocities' of the past then fix them. Buy up all the land you can and find some native Americans and give it to them, it will make you feel great. Take all of your money and give it to the descendant of a slave, it will make you feel great. If you are against guns then don't own one. If you don't like America then leave.

Your problem, and I don't just mean you personally, I mean everyone that thinks like you, is a lack of conviction. If you believe in something then be its champion but you won't because talk is cheap and words are easy. You can give up whatever you want right this second to whomever you feel has been wronged and it will make you feel great.

' If you have a conscience and you can read or listen there is no way you would ask the question you just asked...' What question are you referring to?
I think you may need to find a conscience before trying to communicate. Your words are useless until you figure that out. Then you need to educate yourself about the three branches of government and what administration had executive power during the beginning of the pandemic and the mandates.

Maybe he’s just looking for a great builder and politics won’t factor into the equation.

Your view of how people react to retirement is simply wrong. I will never be bored, and my life will always be fulfilling and rewarding. Clearly you do not understand people.
