Live . . .

https://www.digitalhyve.com/learn-how-to-use-facebook-live-successfully-with-these-5-resources/

I'll be your Blood Brother
By your side through thick and thin
I'll be your Blood Brother
Just as long as I don't have to bloody
My hands

Bar rooms sure have a funny way
Of bringing loyalty out in a man
Buy a drink and tell a joke
And buddy you've got you a friend
But keep a good eye upon that friend
Because he really doesn't give two hoots
And don't say anything about his Mom
His girlfriend or his army boots

Walked into an auto-mo-showroom
I need some wheels but got no money to spend
When a guy with an ugly tie
Walks out and acts like he's my long-lost friend
I said hey Buddy I've a purpose here
And if you please I will accomplish my goal
So don't you slap me on the back again
Cause if you do I might just lose my control

So please be careful when you meet someone
Who'll make a promise at the drop of a hat
And don't provide them with encouragement
You will regret the day you offered him that
Cause everybody needs some empathy
But just how willing
And how far will they go
To really help you when the chips are down
Can they be trusted half as far as you throw them

Blood Brother

Money . . .

. . . guns, the planet . . .

Golden were we
All that we touched
Turned in a favorable tide
Life, but we know,
Brings what it may
Think of yourself
But don’t do it too much
Pressing your luck
Go too far

Prosperity
Honestly won
No one can say they begrudge
What is the cost
Turns out to be too much for us
More than we want to spare
All that we care about will fade

Money, guns, the planet we should think about

Money is just
Root of all bad
That hasn’t changed over time
Guns that we need
Certainly has
Now we must act
To preserve our own lives
Which sacrifice will you make

What kind of tradeoff
Would make deem this alright

Would you concede
Or compromise
Will you assess other views
Consider this moving apart
Only reduces the power we could have
Not merely grab life away

Caring, peace, survival should be common ground

Money, Guns, the Planet

Fool? . . .

(from Trump's letter to President Erdogan of Turkey)
". . . Don't be a tough guy. Don't be a fool!. . . "

(from Jaques by William Shakespeare)
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."

Good . . .

. . . news

. . . some kindness, compassion, appreciation and NO GREED!

(from https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/25/business/gravity-increases-employee-minimum-salary-to-70k-trnd/index.html)

". . . A maverick CEO who slashed his own salary four years ago to raise his employees' pay is doing it again. . . Dan Price, the head of Seattle-based Gravity Payments, said . . . that all of the employees in the company's new Boise, Idaho, office will earn a minimum annual salary of $70,000 by 2024.

"This morning we cut the ribbon on the new @GravityPymts Boise office AND announced that all of our employees here will start earning our $70k min salary," Price announced on Twitter. "I'm so grateful to work with this amazing team and to be able to compensate them for the value they bring to our community." . . . In 2015, Price decided to hike his employees' pay after he read a study about happiness. It said additional income can make a significant difference in a person's emotional well-being up to the point when they earn $75,000 a year. . . He then made the decision to increase the salaries for all of his 120 employees in Seattle, raising the minimum salary to $70,000 -- and slashing his $1 million salary by 90% in order to make it happen. . . The move doubled the pay of about 30 of his workers and gave an additional 40 significant raises. . . Price says the higher wages have transformed the lives of his employees. They have been able to grow their families, more than 10% of employees have purchased a house for the first time and individual 401(k) contributions have more than doubled. . . Since then, Price has shared his story all over the country and has inspired other business leaders to do the same. . . "
