    He also didn't finish college ;) (this article's premise).

    The article's conclusion which is pretty obvious to anyone, is why I have a huge beef against restricting education to immigrant kids/DACA types. The waste in human potential when you subjugate a class is the reason countries fall behind.

    One sure way to getting rich is to marry a person with shed loads.
    Have to gofor them though. The unpaid help to carry the luggage, arrange stuff etc.

    Money trumps principles now in Dumpland and elsewhere.
    Big bribes from the Saudies should settle their current Kashoggi problem.
