Show Notes

Happiness is a two way street, when you give someone good cheer, you will get some back. In a landmark case in the state of Michigan, two parents are being held responsible for violent actions taken by their child. The implications are broad, but brings into question the level of responsibility parents have for the actions of their minor children. Property crimes are one thing but the reality of deadly youth violence is another that society has to wrestle with amid a culture that promotes individuality but not responsibility, in the general sense. According to the Pew Research Center, the phenomenon of adult children being financially assisted by and permanently living with their parents is closer to being the norm rather than the exception. The reality of accelerated levels of inflation in almost everything, combined with stagnant wages and shifting job opportunities in this age of automation with increasing levels of artificial intelligence thrown in, requires careful examination of the economic landscape before making certain life choices. Older people resistant to technology will eventually be left out in the cold and having to fend for themselves unless they open their minds to learning new things. A smart phone is becoming a requirement to do many routine tasks in daily life. If one is intimidated by the dizzying array of choices and is confused where to start or what to do next, the best thing to do is to find a patient mentor that will show you what to do. With respect to computers and smart phones, this is the world of young people; most are experts at things that stump older folks. Younger folks are your best resource. There are lots of great places to eat around the world; we give you a list of the top ten.

Meet two unlikely wingmen who flew into action and saved lives when a routine workday was anything but routine.
