I went to Mackinaw Island for an insurance conference two years ago. I was struck by the number of Jamaicans and Asian (Filipinos I guess) foreigners serving food at that place. It seems like such an out of the way place for immigrants to get a summer job. It took me two flights, a two hour car drive, and a ferry to get to the island from Chicago.


You could have driven from your home faster.


I was just thinking the same thing.

Leash maybe you read it this way, but I certainly did. When we met him, it sounded like he is in the lowest social strata and income bracket among his group of friends. He was pretty direct in saying that his friends are much smarter than him- hedge fund guys and the like. So you're probably right.


He was being self deprecating. If he is pulling down $500K (with the ability to make more than if he wanted to hustle) he is making more than most of the doctors, lawyers and robber barons from his youth.

Agreed. I actually think he said he grew up with "Doctor's and CEO's". He was trying to explain something about how he didn't argue when he was young b/c his friends were all smarter than him. I'm not sure what one has to do with the other, but, hey, it's Bernstein.
