I just read a rather lengthy article about this. It seems that large equity investment firms are responsible for stealing the american dream of owning a home. By buying up houses and simply sitting on them, they can drive up both rents and housing prices with the net effect of a housing shortage bubble. They don't even care if the house sits empty. They can package these as investment securities and sell them like stock. The net effect is to create a new under class that can never make enough to own a house and has to use most of their disposable income to rent preventing them from being able to save. I.E. a subsistence class.

In the process of making powdered baby formula the product is also carried along with hexane so the whole plant is no different from the chemical plants I also would work at. All the safety regulations and procedures strictly enforced in plants that can go BOOM were the same.

It's cool knowing, I have been to and was part of just about everything you eat, drink, pharmaceuticals, greases, paints chemicals, flavorings, test centers you name it. I either installed our machines in new or existing plants or service calls as our machine were essential in all the processes, and none would run without them.
I am in all your homes and its neat.
Being right there in the room and vetted and allowed to make the secret formula for Coke was awesome. Surprisingly it was in Puerto Rico.
When you are at a Pepsi plant don't buy a coke off the lunch truck lol.
As an employee you better not have any snack, candy bar or product that in any way comes from any division related to the coke companies or its affiliates. The rivalry is still that bad.
Many of you might remember the pink slime meat debacle, I was well entrenched in that process, and it was BS and nothing wrong with it, yet thousands lost their jobs and three massive plants out of five closed over nothing but media hype over something that seemed weird that was no issue made by one of the few companies that money was no object, and the plants were amazing with the best of everything.
They even had a massive machine shop with 6 full bore CNC machines and if as a manufacture you could not build a piece of equipment that lasted and performed, they would make one that did.
Cool fact Kikkoman Soy Sauce is aged three years and was a really cool plant and process so do not think it's some inferior product, it's not.
pretty much all Food places really are clean, and they do all they can to make a good safe product. (Sometimes **** happens)

Pharmaceutical companies are so anal that a machine has a certification package and every part on it is tagged with a number where it can be traced back to the day it was made, where, which batch the block of stainless steel (just an example) a part was machined from and the day and place it was poured. These certification papers obviously cost a fortune on top of the machine purchase.
So ya they do have good resources to track back an issue if a bad batch of some drug does get made.

We supply CMTR's for all the 316L we supply to the high purity industries and we don't charge a penny for them. Tubing and fittings, from 1/16" - 6" Not sure where your information comes from.
I sat behind him in a German 101 class during my freshman year at UGA, until he dropped the course a few days later. Once when we were passing around a syllabus, I tapped him on the shoulder - it was like tapping a cinder block! His neck seemed like it was the size of my waist. I admired him during those days. He was a very down to earth superstar, and liked to make fun of himself. I remember him saying "I ain't even learnt English yet, how am I supposed to learn German?" on the first day of class.
My, how the times have changed.
Average and median are two different calculations.

They are, with two different results for the same phenomenon, ie, monthly rent costs in Manhattan, NYC, NY.
It’s like putting up a sigh no urinating in this end of the pool !
He's not lying.
There's quite a few atmospheric studies being done by NASA all over the world (the biggest, most complex one is in Guam, IIRC), and part of what they are doing is to precisely track the plumes of pollution as they propagate around the world. Basically, what seems to be the results, is that unless the world deals with ALL countries' pollution at the same time, it isn't going to be very effective. We can't afford to give any country a pass, if we're going to do it right... they're all going to need to meet the same standards, at the same time.
