Friendship has always called for some maintenance costs. Stop keeping up with the Joneses.  Modern Minimalist Mindsets and being frugal wins the long-term race in life. Dump the spendthrift friends for those who are like-minded. It’s not rocket science. 

• As you get older, people change and your friends may be making more than you.  
• MORE PENDING

Think About It

• Do all boards of directors for all public companies have written policies and procedures regarding the mental health and well-being of the CEO? 
• Did the calls to impeach Trump due to mental illness, immediately after his election, change the discussion as to what is acceptable and unacceptable?
• Is there a Deep-State that is running some or much of the government? 
• Is there a deep-state that resists a new CEO of an established corporation?
• Define the term "robocall" and could the definition be stretched to in a way where a regulatory authority can be used to interfere in trade by one powerful company over a less powerful company?
• Why is YouTube getting involved in China's political activities?
• Where will YouTube draw the line in the United States?
• Who exactly draws the lines?
• Will Facebook's cryptocurrency extend its control over a growing segment of the world's population?
• What is radical?
• What is a freedom fighter?
• What is normal?
• Are there true journalistic standards, and if so, can they be stated in one sentence with less than 20 words?

Don't hold your breath for that one to ever be true.  And, we did it in 9 words.

Family, Friends, Neighbors, Relatives, Co-Workers

When connecting the dots, there is the quantitative component, which is known as crunching the numbers. There is also the qualitative component, which is getting a handle all of those things that are not “numbers” based. In the case of President Trump, his daughter appears to have a big influence on his life. This was written about by businessman / author Trump when to talked about how it was his daughter who caused him to miss a flight that crashed that would have resulted in his death many years ago.

The quants love the numbers, and the numbers are the numbers; however, not everything is number based. Emotional-based decisions continue to rule the roost and results in a lot of the Misbehaving in the world.
