<p>Tell him to go.<p>College and dorm living is where, in our family, we meet and fall in love with our spouse.  The marriages that worked passed this on for 4 generations.  This is an unspoken teaching to all that grow up in all of our roofs.<p>For me, my kids, my siblings and our parents and (probably both gp) the best thing that happened in college was meeting our spouses.</p>

(2012)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>I'm the guy people want to ne friends with.  Im very friendly. I don't want friends. Most end the same way: we connect, share & remember things, then i turn cold and act less interested.  Then we become good acquaintances.  This pattern existed way back in high schoolHi<p>Having friends is not on my list of success
  Or even a positive achievement. Being friendly is at the top of the list.<p>I say to people i meet and to others now, make sure the potential friend really wants the job.</p>

<p>The best example in my stats class on why sampling was used:  working for the phone company he had to determine if poles were rotting.  Practically speaking he could not use a random sample: he sent a pole climber to an area and while there, climb a few or several in the area.  It would not be practical to climb one here, another 3 miles away, etc..</p>

<p>Because of my insight i get to know a group of people barely making it. i do help when i can.<p>I see absolutely no financial help for the one time and many time needs of this group.  Yet there are plenty of people with a lot of money.<p>If i asked them a question it would be have they considered helping people with tiny gifts.  Did u read the article?  They made up and answered 10 questions.  I made one</p>

<p>Those questions seem self asked.<p>I'd want to know if?they tried or interested in tiny short term gifts to help a person today, right now.  We have gofumdme. But no way to give the coworker $200 to fix her car; $35 for gas; $100 till next oay; or one year of Uber so they dont spend 1.5 hrs pay to from work.  Some silent gates ambassador who knows help when it's needed</p>

<p>Im talking about totally thinking differently, not the current situation.<p>About having a lot of money saved....after a prosthetic implant i added up stuff.  $143,000 spent on insurance since 2005. Part employer part me.  Up until the prosthetic less than $5k (if that) on health.   $143k is almost 3 years pay.  I would have rather had it paid to me.  Then i would have spent my money for my healthcare</p>

<p>My thinking. Cab supply and ease.<p>I work at a retailer where 20-30%  more probably) use their phone to get to work. Its affordable and allows taking the job. 
$5 to get home.  Cabs were $11 and importantly unreliable.<p>Have a phone; get a ride anytime.<p>And.. A person i work with finishes her shift and turns "on" her Uber driver mode and instantly becomes a cab.  Uber is an on/off switch for cab supply.  To me that is very different.<p>Imo before uber one could not even think transportation was easy.<p>Its not the Pepsi Generation it's the Uber Generation</p>

<p>When i think of disruption i think of uber. Rides where none could happen before.<p>What will their disruption be?<p>How about delinking insurance to healthcare.  Let me buy healthcare the day i need it.  And nothing the day after i dont.<p>No more having healthy people pay for sick people: no more young pay for the old.<p>Create something we cant imagine; like uber; like Facebook</p>
