  1. A couple comments, I mean why not? Much of the world's young talent come here for their practicums in hospitality. It is a great finishing school and not even for those not in college. I'm guessing I am Reality has never worked at any of the parks. Having worked there and then being a public school teacher, I would rather have not left the theme parks. One has opportunities to move up, and if one is good one does. Plus the benefits package was better. It's not just the hourly, gotta look at the full compensation package. Including training. I can't even quantify the cost of training I received not just for free but on the clock.
  2. How to ignore: Lesson One- Do not quote what you are trying to ignore.
  3. I do appreciate that the forum got it's own Russian troll assigned to it. That's progress for ya!
  4. 7-11: the bodegas of Orlando.
  5. You too when you gain an imagination and capacity for abstract thought.
  6. Facts without analysis are useless except on Jeopardy.
  7. Good thing I didn't make the "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying..." reference of corporate HQS, mail rooms, steno-pools and other minimum wage jobs and the passing of that business model. You'd really be scratching your head to when you said that, too. Catering to tourists. That's a business model. I call theater selling seats to butts. So yeah, making money off of tourists. How horrid. As far as start-ups, do your own investment research, why should I help you? "Blind wishful thinking," no worse than being just plain blind. And because you fly high with your perspective, seems you're missing the details.
  8. No, the body of your work makes me ask the question. I am glad you are learning about the community you have been critiquing. I see you continually asking why Orlando doesn't have something or the other, when that something or other have obvious reasons why Orlando doesn't have them. Economic Development. Other things Orlando doesn't have much: Steel industry, coal mining, Steam Engine Yards. (I'm still not over loosing the train downtown.) I'd rather have, right now, a Wozniak garage or three than a couple Toys 'R Us or Sears corporate headquarters. And I think we have them. Lake X has been resurrected, btw. Lots of specialized, even one of a kind businesses. That's what excites me. What is becoming, not what's been.
  9. I am Reality, are you the sort that when out with your significant other points out other people's style and looks you would like him/her to adopt?
  10. Any updates? I'm out on tour so normally I'd be working from time to there, but I'm going through a little withdrawal.
  11. The trope I always laugh at is the "rise in productivity means a rise in wages." Those different conclusions drawn from the same data normally come from a cognitive disconnect from established reality. Say it loud, say it often, you can change the reality of people who don't do math well or read much....
  12. Green netting is wonderfully susceptible to slitting under a reasonably sharp knife. Plus you help the site by reducing wind load... just sayin'
  13. Interesting they list the Bob Carr Theater which is not a producing entity, and not mention Mad Cow which adds to the Equity week counts. Having AEA performers at Disney and other attractions around town help a lot (dinner theaters). The Shakes of course is our area's crown jewel of local theater. Lots of talent walking around finding side projects help a lot. Like the music scene in Orlando before Disney practically purged live music from the parks.
  14. ^Will it feature the character "Brazilian Helicopter Pilot" from Inside Out? "Come fly with me gatinha."
