Dear Donald Trump, Meet the real Tom Scott


He's not the GOP senator from South Carolina.  That's Tim!


This Tom Scott is a musician.  And 'Spindrift' is from his 1974 Tom Cat album with the L.A. Express.

The Wharf adds to DC's restaurant staffing crisis




DC’s Restaurant Staffing Crisis Will Likely Get Worse With the Opening of the Wharf.  (Washingtonian, 9/12/2017)
Ask any DC chef or restaurateur what they’re most worried about right now, and the conversation will inevitably turn to their desperate attempts to find good staff. Sous chefs, managers, servers—across the board, there just aren’t enough experienced people to go around Washington’s booming dining scene. 
The problem isn’t new, and it’s not unique to DC. But much of the local restaurant industry is bracing for an even greater pinch with the opening of the Wharf. The $2 billion development will host three hotels, three music venues, 17 retail spots, and more than 20 restaurants, bars, and cafes when it’s complete.

No surprise to find 'robots' and "Foxconn' in the same sentence

Over the past five years, these algorithms have radically changed the way the internet’s largest companies build their online services, accelerating the development of everything from image and speech recognition to internet search. But they can also accelerate the development of robotics.

What Amazon is looking for:
  1. Metro area population of 1,000,000+ (Milwaukee is one of 52)
  2. Strong job growth in addition to 1 mil pop.  (The list is reduced to 25, Milwaukee not included)
  3. Right labor pool, one that is large and growing.  (14 cities:  Boston, New York, Washington, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami, Austin, Dallas, Indianapolis, Denver, San Jose, San Francisco, Portland OR)
  4. Also have a high quality of life (9 cities:  Boston, Washington, Raleigh, Atlanta, Miami, Austin, Dallas, Denver, Portland
  5. Also places where workers can easily get around and out of town (4 cities:  Boston, Washington, Denver, Portland)
  6. Has space and willing to pay to play.  (And the winner is:  Denver)
Milwaukee will have to settle for the residual effects of Foxconn.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the movie box office weekends


Sources:  Daily Mail, Variety

Yet as Variety points out, "It" was able to set some box-office records this weekend during the approach of a 'record-setting Hurricane Irma'.
“It” broke out on Thursday night with $13.5 million preview number — the third-largest for 2017, trailing only Disney’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and “Beauty and the Beast,” and the largest gross for a [1] horror movie, an [2] R-rated title, a [3] September release and a [4] film based on a Stephen King book.  [numbers added]

Greetings from the Golden Gate Bridge


From Retiring Guy's postcard collection

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

In suicide prevention, sometimes all it takes to save a life is a minute of your time.  (South China Morning Post, 9/9/2017)
The winning video features a police negotiator’s work to save lives. For people contemplating suicide, the most critical period is during their last minute of life: if someone could intervene at that point, there is a chance of stopping that person.  
Kevin Hines, one of very few people who survived after jumping off San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, shared that, in the last minute as he was wandering along the bridge before he jumped, if someone had showed some concern, he would have changed his mind. Since his miraculous survival, Hines has been championing suicide prevention activities worldwide.

WORKERS WANTED.   Wisconsin businesses grapple with a growing worker shortage.  (Wisconsin State Journal, 9/10/2017)
Wisconsin is expected to need 45,000 workers in seven years but it simply lacks the people to fill them., Employers from a broad range of industries are reporting difficulty finding workers — and not only for skilled professionals such as nurses, welders and computer programmers, who require a strong education and training system, but also for workers with a high school diploma and some additional training at restaurants, farms, construction sites, factories, senior care facilities, retailers and other businesses.
