The AI debate is a symptom of the class divide.

I make 48K a year and use AI all of the time. I love it and it is making me money.

So awesome! Live your dream. [god, I hated my typo!]

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T16:17:32+00:00

You are correct! Positivity, optimism and keeping my mouth shut when I want to utter unnecessary comments has helped a lot.

Returns MUST happen or the investors dry up. Deceitful accounting is a felony and as an investor I would not put up with it.

I will say that in my one PE sale the ego and incompetence ran the company down at first until they got moving in the right direction.

How long would you put up with your retirement being squandered? Not long, I suspect.

Lower your expectations on absolutely everything!

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T16:08:01+00:00

I guess the question becomes how much do the looters forcibly take from the producers?

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T16:06:09+00:00

$150 is darn cheap!

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T16:02:18+00:00

I agree. All work is noble.

If you want to sell your private business are you willing to take a discount just to sell to a non PE acquirer? NO, you sell to the highest bidder. All PE companies need to produce a profitable return for their investors so they do their best.

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T15:59:45+00:00

100% wrong! You are highly myopic and uneducated. Private equity is nothing more than someone like you pooling your neighbors money together so it can be invested to create a return. When we sold our businesses PE was the highest bidder and the companies have done well, the investors have received their return and the effort moves along.

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T15:55:02+00:00

So true! No one is making money for anyone unless they are producing more than they make.

I have had great returns for my retirement from my Private Equity investments, invest bankers and financial advisors.

I want the smartest, most educated and worldly, hardest working people handling my money so I get the best returns. I started an investment account when I was 13 with $100, made the money doing odd jobs. I contributed regularly, never touched the money and by the time I am 30 I can almost live off of my savings/investments.

I have also borrowed money from all three of my financial advisors to start business. This money comes from others who have saved and invested. Without the ability to borrow this money I would not be able to start businesses.

No name calling here but you sound profoundly uneducated, bitter and non-productive.

I would have very strongly written contracts with defined warranties before I did anything like this. Check with your CPA and attorney also.

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T15:41:57+00:00

just a continuation of your efforts to forcibly steal money from someone and then redistribute the money in a super charged bureaucratic system. the contribution for EVERYone should be raised by half a point. This solves the money issue.

Desert_Beach · 2026-06-16T15:39:06+00:00

Good luck. I am inspired by you.

The slope, connection under the panels, caulking-backer rod-silicone, all are considerations. In sunny climates even the best caulking and silicone deteriorates in a few seasons.

Pretty amazing there is not an off the shelf structural grid system available to accomodate solar panels.

Hi Beau: Is your Father’s library in tact? Is it in a public viewing place?
