I’m glad you asked. We payed very well and have had great benefits. We have been fortunate. I have typically done well but not always. I have put capital in and lost. I have looked back on what I have paid in income taxes over the years and have paid about 50% all in. NYC. It was good value. My last business I sold, and rolled into stock, a year ago was a Cannabis RE company. It’s doing great and has financed cannabis facilities that employ hundreds. Fingers crossed it may go public soon. We shall see. I am a founder of another company in the space that looks good but I am in the stage where we are putting in investment and working for free. Fun but not yet something to brag about. If we are successful, we will finance businesses that employ hundreds of people in what I think is a neat business with some pretty switched on people. This is the type of investment I believe we don’t want to kill.

We all wish you well, David. But once again, look at the life styles and living conditions of your workers. Do you talk to them in their homes? Are they doing well all around in their lives? If not, are low wages/benefits to blame?

I'm glad I asked, too. I hope your current venture is successful.
