I agree to a point. You can be a criminal not have a high IQ like Hunter Biden and make a lot of money doing nothing. Although aside from criminals and lazy people like Hunter appears to be most really work for theirs. But you can’t be a Doctor or other important things without it. It depends on your focus in life I guess. Some want to make it a better place some just out to make it rich some might be a mixture snd so forth. IQ helps but depending not always necessary to make money.

I never worked in it. Grew up around it but never learned it and steel as well. It was considered a mans job probably still is predominantly but got more technical over time.
Must be cheap places he’s getting work from. I remember my mother got a all expense paid trip to Japan back in the 80s to do some business had to do with airplanes.
Hope things work out for your friend. Smoking had nothing to do with IQ probably even have more of a potential like busy type A ers whatever until people started learning how bad it was for you.

Now that the vaccines coming out they do but hydroxy only helps in beginning symptoms. I’m sold now on the Ivermectin.
If people got better they wouldn’t need the vaccine right. I did some Dd on Fauci and his partnership with Monderna or NIH and Monderna as well as influencing studies negating hydroxy. Plus they’re not any of the endorsing Ivermectin either for the same reason.

Here’s a good one with Dr Paul Merik and Dr Been. They go into the protocol with charts as well as what hospitals are doing comparison plus questions and answers in simple lay terms.
Dr Paul I mask plus protocol

high i.q. and high common sense are not mutually exclusive.

often, the combination leads the individual to adopt protective measures.

it’s not healthy to be a pink monkey in a troop of brown ones.

The CCP propaganda hacks are trying to rewrite science to insist on “Natural Origins” of the virus.   Scientists who insist it was not possible are being squelched.

Never Forget…. this is an ‘engineered for gain-of-function’ virus, as written about by Chinese virologists.

I took a free IQ test on the computer and it was easy, I breezed right thru it, multiple little drawings of squares with lines going thru etc, actually related to my occupation, comparing things, but when they wanted $29.95 to see my score and get a document, I stopped.

I’m thinking if the hi IQ came from birth genes or schooling, then no common sense. If working first, making building creating things and doing things, that I think that gleans both at the same time maybe. Pretty much any high skilled tradesmen have common sense or they would fail.

Hi, thanks for the input. Interesting. Precision sheet metal in prototype or short run is a head ache. Material thickness .002 to .250 plate and thicker. One time I was bending up 1″ thick. Parts no bigger than 1 inch to 5 feet. Every different material too. Re my friend? George that owned a factory? He married a doctor. I hope she was fronting him to start again. But then again, assuming he got paid for jobs and didn’t pay expenses, he should be ok. But he smokes constantly.

@Ororeef? You too, thanks for the input. Re “go Figure”? I figure a lot of college courses are just consumer products. Especially this Sociology Courses I heard about not that long ago. Totally useless waste of money. I think the kids are just taught to be polite and understanding to minorities and trust and believe what ever the media says. I heard they starting it in high school??

I ‘opted out’ of freshman year of college when I figured out I could do just fine without all the student debt for a piece of paper.  Except for a brief stint in the Army, I have never taken a government paycheck.  I survived on my common sense, and wits, in the private high tech sector.  I have learned that my IQ allowed me to figure out things faster and better than those around me.  I always thought I had much more common sense than most people, but it was aided by my IQ, I am sure.

I have 4 chldren with high IQ– 2 boys 2 girls.of the boys 1 has PHD in Physics,his younger bro is computer security with  SAP specialist with no degree and makes more money than his PHD brother .

Of the girls older one has A DEGREE ,but is always trying to please other people so she makes less money than her younger sister.The younger sister dont take no shit from nobody has no degree and is very wealthy .  so IQ is not the determining factor,neither is a degree.  Go figure !

So that kind of work sheet metal people having trouble with?
My half brother inherited his dads businesses. I don’t think he wanted to he wanted to be a Doctor or dentist but learned the skills. In times like this he’s be better off in health care but risky.
They got business “ precision sheet metal” from all over including military like the Navy and out of the country with our ally’s as my step father X military pro military type. Would chose a veteran first if he/ she had the skills.
Things are gonna get tough those. California is hosting to businesses as your NY. I guess Oracle left for Texas too.Too many incompetent and now communists in office here. His grandfather was a Texan we grew up starting young shooting guns and he was a natural. Fast as lighting and accurate since a young kid. I don’t know if he shoots or hunts anymore though. He’d do fine in Texas as long as you can deal with the hurricanes and tornadoes and thus as someone there said no trees.
Sometimes you have to move and if you don’t look outside that area. Hope your friend survives.

Technically is been turned into a Federal Reserve Note DBA as US Dollar. I said long ago, “The “Note” is Their Tool, To Play Dirty Pool”. Take notice chart patterns after Y2K, Dot com bust, and 9/11/01. Their system is thrown off stride.

Dang I missed that one. Just kidding Mr Copper.

Seen here.yr 2000, The End Of A Ridiculously long 20 Year deflation in Commodities. Because the anti American Robin Hood bozo global academia, bankers, created a 20 year LONG STRONG DOLLAR policy

to help innocent Americans get cheaper prices, to encourage import of foreign made goods, INCLUDING ENERGY, and make the rest of the socialist world GREAT AGAIN. Unfortunately, the innocent consumers exported money, now they really need to make America great again if they want more hand out later.

Thank You Arnold

I stopped working around 2000, because I knew commodities especially metals, were too cheap, Gold at $250/oz, and dopey/dollar was too high at 120, and had a good run to 2012-13. Rocky ride afterward. Plus all the few companies I free lanced for were closing down. Just one still open with gov’t jobs. I used to visit an old employer up until recently.

George, originally Lindy Sheet Metal, he went bankrupt at least 3-4 times different company names. He always quoted low to get work in, then couldn’t pay suppliers or laser  machinery payments. They recently repossessed his main machine. He was always trying to make me come back to work.

I’m sure the owner regretted letting you go. Experience can be under rated.

Good for you on starting your own business!

Also did some bottom fishing and bought Wallbridge Mining. WLBMF

Sold BONXF. Good riddance.

I saw a lot of business start ups in my life. And what made it possible, was the very high purchasing power of entry level wages. The starter wages were so high, you could build up your savings while gaining experience at the occupation.

Then after five years or so, start setting up your own business, and then you give the boss a two week notice. Some people I knew did both at the same time. Did their side business part time.

You needed a reserve of funds because sometimes you had to wait 30-60-90 days to get paid. I’ve see at LEAST ten men I used to work with start up in garages and basements. I’ll never forget when I was punching a time card, I the boss gave me a job,

Titanium sheet metal, 30 small complicated boxes, that took me one month, 4 weeks, and the company got 5, that’s right, FIVE years of my salary for one month work. Naturally I was one of the 10 to start up in my garage.

If the owner didn’t have so much suborn pride, to surrender, and raise my pay, I would have stayed. Everybody that quit in those days was always replaced by less experienced help. Employers started getting stingy after 1975 as our anti American gov’t was giving away manufacturing jobs.

It’ll be like “Atlas Shrugged.” Yeah who wants to work their ass off when the taxman might as well be called the Ax Man. What do people think powers the economy anyway? It’s the small entrepreneur who risks his fortune and works ridiculous hours. Without this we may as well live in the Soviet Union.

Fearless prediction … If Joe Biden lives through his term by the end of it he will be thoroughly hated!

Cheers
