Comments on: UPDATE II: No Country For Throwaway Americans (Meet Maurice, Homeless Physicist & Electrical Eng.) https://barelyablog.com/no-country-for-throwaway-americans-meet-maurice-homeless-physicist-electrical-eng/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dennis https://barelyablog.com/no-country-for-throwaway-americans-meet-maurice-homeless-physicist-electrical-eng/comment-page-1/#comment-21898 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:41:31 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=47407#comment-21898 Hey Guys…think creatively.

PRIVATE colleges / universities may not require “education courses / teaching courses”. Some of the best teachers I had years ago were active business people who taught at the University of Dallas / MBA Program. Also, private high schools may be viable for subject matter experts rather than “teachers”.

The young guy with a CPA designation should approach small CPA firms and see if he can catch some of the tax season overload all the while searching for clients he may be able to bring to the table. Also, many 501(c)(3) non-profits are so delusional about cash-flow necessities, he may be able to work part-time engagements with them.

WORK THE STREETS PEOPLE.

PS Myron, if you wish to give me some info re investors, advise and I’ll ask Ilana to connect us off-line.

1. Myron, what are you trying to accomplish with your tin cup search, i.e. what level of funding and what’s the goal,in general? Are you actively seeking investors?

2. Is Maurice Johnson willing to move? Why was he riffed? Is he a Vet?
What about his family and friends? I’ll try to contact him to help, will you guys as well???

I’d like to find someone who understands exoskeletons or steer-by-wire and/or brake-by-wire.

He could get $ 50,000 from the Fairfax County Public Schools (my property taxes) but he would need “education courses” as you mention:

Fun, fun.

I worked for a tax corporation for over 7 years, and then one day they layed off over 80 people (myself included obviously). Guess where those 80 jobs went? The Philippines!
==One of my friend/co-workers had actually gone to open up the Philippine site, she trained them! Then they layed her off too.
==One of my sales team friends had been working for the company for over 17 years. It was his first and only job coming out of college and becoming a CPA. He was in tears wondering where the hell he was going to go.

~I digress.

Meanwhile, I am continually going around with a tin cup searching for funds.

The primitive ‘Party’ would have this reordering ‘The Great Leap Forward’ or some such folderal, but we are beyond party and well into a mentality: “treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity,” that being of the same genus as the specie “treason to nationality is loyalty to humanity”.

A meritocracy of accomplishment, experience, and reliability has been razed to the ground; the foundations of that Tower of Babel alluded to, have been laid. Such is humanity that every bit of it now rates the same; the cornices and pilasters will count as beams and pillars. Good luck with that.

It’s time for a revolt. I live in a city, Houston, Tx, that is filled with legal and illegal immigrants. I wonder how many legals really need to be here. You and Pat Buchanan are right about immigration.
