Mike Rowe on the cover of a magazine called The #Detroiter.



Seems I’m on the cover of a magazine called The Detroiter. The attached article is full of things you’ve heard me say for years, so I totally understand if you don’t want to read it. No pressure. However, it would be great if you could at least click on the link, so the publisher feels better about putting me on the cover. http://www.detroitchamber.com/work-hard-and-work-smart/

Also, I’m not modeling watches, as my mother assumed from the photo. I just needed a place to rest my head. Thanks -

Mike

Make Way for Generation Z

◼ I’ve now had the opportunity to meet lots of Gen Zers, and here’s what I’ve noticed. To start, they tend to be independent. - NYT

...While a 2015 Census Bureau report found that nearly a third of millennials are still living with their parents, Gen Zers are growing up in a healthier economy and appear eager to be cut loose. They don’t wait for their parents to teach them things or tell them how to make decisions. As demonstrated by the teenagers attending the recent Generation Z Conference at American University in Washington, Gen Z is already out in the world, curious and driven, investigating how to obtain relevant professional experience before college. Despite their obvious technology proficiency, Gen Zers seem to prefer in-person to online interaction and are being schooled in emotional intelligence from a young age. Thanks to social media, they are accustomed to engaging with friends all over the world, so they are well prepared for a global business environment.

Gen Z is also diverse....

A Cut Above

◼ Some time ago I got a tweet from a young lady who informed me that she was sure that I was not paying my "fair share" and although she could neither tell me what my fair share would consist of or knew anything about the amount of tax and other state and federal assessments I pay, she was sure it was not enough and I should be forced to pay more. - Charlie Daniels/CNS

She said she had a hard time getting ahead and she seemed to think that part of the reason for that was because people like me did not pay their fair share of taxes so that people like her could get the government aid they were entitled to, to level the playing field, she also informed me not to tell her to "try harder" because she had done that and it simply didn't work.

At this point, I gave up even trying to reason with her, even though I wanted to tell her that, with the attitude she had, she was never going to achieve any higher position in life than she already had, for the simple reason that she had swallowed the one-size-fits-all, you-didn't-build-that, "somebody helped you," "the reason you don't prosper is because somebody else is unfairly taking your piece of the pie" socialistic crap.

Lower crime now may be a fruit of welfare reform 20 years ago

◼ link - Michael Barone/Washington Examiner @michaelbarone

...Research has shown that work requirements for welfare recipients have produced not just greater income but more satisfaction.

Entry-level jobs for welfare recipients have proven not to be dead ends but the avenue to greater job skills and promotions.

The welfare reform work requirements may also be contributing -- this is my hypothesis -- to the remarkable decline in violent crime in America over the last 20 years....

Today's 15-to-25s were more likely to have mothers who, if they collected welfare, had to hold a job. Mothers with jobs are away from home during work hours.

But they are also likely to have more moral authority. They bring home the bacon and are entitled to demand good behavior in return.

And, especially if they move ahead at work, they set a better example for their children, male and female. They show that there is a connection between honest effort and legitimate reward. A mother who earns success shows her children they can, too.....

History shows that societies have experienced sharp increases and reductions in crime rates within a generation. Public policies and demographic trends account for much of the change. But much change surely comes form attitudes inculcated in the home.

Another corollary, if my hypothesis is right, is that the decline in jobs and work-force participation may produce bad effects that are not just economic. All the more reason to think hard about how to turn it around.
