    This receiver is ####ing up the unload.

    Got my Bols, go to restrap, there's still their product on the truck.

    Re-docked.

    "No we have it all."

    Truck is shaking like they're taking that pallet.

    Always a hassle with this agent / freight.

    My condolences..... I wouldn't want to be near the "people" that built or bought that monstrosity.

    Funny thing is the Tesla Solar system on the smaller building does not transfer with the property.

    If I inherited that place would just put it up on the market and buy someplace more appropriate.

    Main house is a tear down in my eye, Would cost almost as much to remodel as to build something more modest and appropriate for me.
    At least they have the swimming pool to fill in with the debris from the house.

    Will admit I am kinda curious on the layout of the guest house/working house, probably more my style and size. Would need paint in and out. And some serious woodwork.
     
    Sons Hero, Feedman, austinmike and 6 others Thank this.

    This makes sense, over all. There are those who will not work. But lots of people who seek work, but are unable to connect with someone with enough sense to talk with them and see some adaptation of what they bring to what the job needs...
    Hell. I'd drove truck 7 years, Army for 3 (a tech field) and in small loan management for nearly 10.
    Tired of that and applied to a Materials Handling Co for Customer Service job. We talked face to face, hit on my farm boy raising.
    He said , You will do well at this. He was right. I learned and progressed and in 7 years with them, started my own equipment shop and ran it 14 years. White shirt and tie to loading and hauling it in and fixing it.
    A zoom or detailed resume would not have gotten me face to face with Price Morgan, an old hand in the business. He taught me the forklift business.

    The labor crisis isn’t about laziness -- it’s about mismatch

    For the past few years, headlines have pushed a familiar story: “Americans don’t want to work.” It’s catchy. It’s polarizing. And it’s not quite true.

    Dig a little deeper, and you’ll find something more complicated going on. The real problem isn’t a lack of willingness -- it’s a lack of alignment. While job openings hit record highs, so did the number of people feeling stuck, burned out, or underemployed. This isn’t a laziness issue. It’s a mismatch issue.
    And the people solving it aren’t always in government buildings or boardrooms. More often than not, they’re in the offices of smart, adaptive recruiting companies that understand how to connect real people to the right opportunities -- fast.

    When Job Growth Doesn’t Equal Job Fit
    We’ve been told the labor market is booming. And in some sectors, it absolutely is. But talk to business owners, especially in industries like healthcare, skilled trades, logistics, and tech, and you’ll hear the same story: “We have roles to fill. We just can’t find the right people.”

    Now flip the script. Talk to job seekers, and you’ll hear this: “There are tons of listings, but nothing fits. No one’s calling me back. I don’t have the certifications. I’m overqualified.”
    That’s the disconnect.
    It’s not that Americans are sitting on the sidelines for fun. It’s that many of them feel they’re running in circles -- applying for jobs they’ll never get or stuck in roles that don’t use their skills. The system isn’t broken, but it’s not keeping pace with how quickly everything else is evolving.
    The Cost of Getting It Wrong
    When businesses can’t hire, they lose momentum. Teams get stretched thin, deadlines slip, and customer service takes a hit. For small businesses, one bad hire --

    Mike, there is a term: "I want a dark biscuit". It does not apply in everything you plate...

    This one time. Ended up with 8 cases of chocolate pudding. I can't eat chocolate pudding to this day.
