So he's a non-tech savvy body building nerd with questionable people skills? He's an anomoly.

John Wilkes Booth 03-27-2015 10:00 AM

yes he is. a beautiful, robotic anomaly.

Is he a ginger? This is essential to my mental image of this person.

John Wilkes Booth 03-27-2015 10:04 AM

no, dark hairs and cut very short. nearly bald. thin head. small glasses.

The Batlord 03-27-2015 10:14 AM

Like, skinhead short? Or just wannabe army? Can I assume that he's just too cheap to pay for a haircut and does it himself? Get a sneaky photo of him and upload it. If it's good enough I might just use it as an avatar.

I think it must be very depressing to experience that nonstop snowy/cold/wet weather. If it’s any consolation, next week’s weather forecast for Chicago is mostly sunny and mild.

One person unaccounted for, a 23 year old who was at Sushi Park. His family has frantically searched all the hospitals for him. Police have not been able to find him either. So sad.

Google image "Malden Mills Fire" and check out the pics. That happened in my old home town and was one of the worst fires in Mass history.

Just took a look at those images - I remember seeing that fire all over the news. Consider me a member of the Aaron Feuerstein fan club! What a great man he is.

I design/build fire training structures/props etc., and work with fire fighters every day to evolve and improve the training for these guys. I've got a few stories to tell.

Your work ultimately saves lives - the best and most important work one can do. Kudos, Plankton.

The sitting president invited him to the White House for the State of the Union address because of what he did.

Quote:

When the Malden Mills factory burnt down on December 11, 1995, Feuerstein decided not only to use his insurance money to rebuild it, but to also pay the salaries of all the now-unemployed workers while it was being rebuilt. Feuerstein spent millions keeping all 3,000 employees on the payroll with full benefits for 6 months. By going against common CEO business practices, especially at a time when most companies were downsizing and moving overseas, he achieved global fame.

Feuerstein claimed that he couldn't have taken another course of action due to his study of the Talmud and the lessons he learnt there:

"I have a responsibility to the worker, both blue-collar and white-collar. I have an equal responsibility to the community. It would have been unconscionable to put 3,000 people on the streets and deliver a deathblow to the cities of Lawrence and Methuen. Maybe on paper our company is worthless to Wall Street, but I can tell you it's worth more."
A total FU to capitalism.
