Her home state hates her. The guy running against her has a double digit lead in the polls. She's toast. The reason you like her is because she's a Rhino.

Seen on the news that there are fist fights breaking out while people wait at the gas station to get gas. Brings back memories of the 70's gas shortages.

The gas station I worked while in high school. We had one guy pumping the gas. One collecting the money. And one standing guard with a shotgun.

I worked at a gas station during the gas shortage in the early 70's. It was great. No full service. Pump their gas and get them out

Yep, and a max of $10 of gas. Then they went to 'odd' & 'even', and folks with vanity plates got hosed. Some states put them in 'odd', some in 'even'. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

However, we do need to capture their knowledge, because eventually they are going to depart, one way or another.

You're going to harvest their brains, arent you?

I remember people following the gas tankers to see which station they were going to. Only to run out of gas.

I always had a full tank in my car and bike.

My dad never had to worry about gas.

It came from doing things the hard way, breaking what I was trying to work on and figuring out the right way to fix it. You can be told and shown how to do something, but until you do it, and fail doing it, it doesn't stick.

I suppose the best way is to have each SME have a shadow that can learn from them, but that is an expense that most companies won't do. Most SMEs have knowledge that the company isn't paying for, the company pays for what they know to do their job and that's it. It's unfortunate.

Institutional knowledge is another name for it. With the mature generation and much of the boomer generation knowledge = power = value therefore the old timers were not or are willing to share information. They believe in many instances that if they share their knowledge they may become expendable because someone might do their job better. If they like you or you have past their test of trust they will share things. I instituted cross training and many of the old timers hated it. I tried to explain to them that the u become more valued and valuable when they do share their information and their contributions will carry on long after they retire.

The X generation figured it out and it was expanded with the Y generation or millennial. They are all about collaboration and cooperation. It is how the likes of Apple, Google and much of the dot com companies grew so fast. They get the sum of the whole is greater than that of the few.

And they realize that once you get big enough you don't have to worry about competition. You just smother it, Capitalism-style!

How's it going this week isn't looking so great ended up parking the Z because I need to drive something with better MPGs specially with my lead foot. We are almost at 50% of gas stations out of gas in VA. stupid people panick buying. I heard the pipeline would normally move 100 million gallons a day and they managed to do 84 with just trucks. But people just kept buying gas so they can't keep up.
