He is the richest man on the planet because he is smart. Smart enough to be born to a family that owned an emerald mine in south africa. Smart enough to be born to parents who enabled him to have one of the best educations you could buy and then smart enough…

Has anyone else noticed how many places seem have a job where the person’s sole job is to do nothing but watch the security cameras, just to catch employees doing something wrong? There’s a big sandwich chain, and several local people have told me if they sit, take out their phone, or anything against the rules, the local office will call and fire them on the spot.
