How to Get Really Rich!


"Getting into the right job in the Western countries is the key.

I know money can’t buy you love, but wouldn’t it be nice to have enough money to buy whatever else you want? I’m here to help you to help you!
 
The most likely way to become rich is to try to get into a line of work that’s hard to get into, particularly if the people in that profession are the ones setting the rules for entry.
For example, if you want to become rich, tech may be a less likely way than you suppose. In 2019, about 2.4 percent of software developers made it to the top one percent of earners. As the economist Jonathan Rothwell points out in his superb book, “A Republic of Equals,” as of 2015 there were nearly eight times as many software developers in the USA as there were dentists, but nearly as many dentists in the top one percent as there were software developers.
 
The odds are also against you if you go into the STEM professions. Just about 2.2 percent of electrical engineers made it to the top one percent, just about 3.3 percent of chemical engineers did and about 0.8 percent of industrial engineers did. 
The arts aren’t so hot either. Even just among people who manage to make a living as an actor, a director or a producer, just about 2.1 percent made it to the tippy top. 
What’s wrong with all these professions? That’s simple: These are highly competitive, innovative and productive industries where global competition drives down earnings. You want to go into a profession protected by strong professional organizations and state legislators who will shield you from global competition and productivity growth. 
So what profession is most likely to get you rich? Medicine! You get to save lives and make bank all at once! One third of doctors overall, including about 58.6 percent of surgeons, are in the top one percent of earners. There are more doctors and surgeons in the top one percent than any other job category. According to Rothwell’s book, in Spain, Sweden and Iceland, doctors earn twice as much as the average worker, but in the United States physicians and surgeons earn nearly five times as much. 
Why is that? First, there’s US screwed-up health care system in which nearly 18 percent of gross domestic product flows into medicine and disproportionately toward a relatively small number of doctors. Second, there are huge barriers of entry into that profession — including, of course, the strenuous education that’s required. The number of medical school students is limited. In 2018-2019, only 41 percent of applicants who applied to medical school actually got into one. Plus, a 1997 federal law capped the number of residency slots that Medicare funds would support. 
It typically takes a minimum of 11 years of difficult training to become a doctor, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Once you’re a doctor, you are protected by state laws from competition from lower cost workers. Rothwell cites research suggesting that nurse practitioners and dental hygienists can perform many duties now done by doctors and dentists, at lower cost. 
If you’re squeamish around blood, you can go into law. Census data for 2019 shows that about 14.5 percent of lawyers are in the top one percent of earners. And for some of the same reasons: high barriers to entry, limits on competition from less costly alternatives and limits on innovation. For example, in most states it’s illegal for a nonlawyer to own a law firm. If some MBA has an innovative idea for how to streamline practices, she is not allowed to start a firm and use that idea. 
If that doesn’t float your boat, try getting a job in venture capital, hedge funds or private equity. Don’t go into consumer banking. Companies with low-fee options, like those introduced by Vanguard, can’t pay the big bucks. The real money is in managing those higher-end investment vehicles to which only rich people and institutions have had easy access. For reasons that seem to mystify everyone, pension fund managers are willing to pay ridiculously high fees to people in those professions, so there are tons of money to be made. About 5 percent of financial managers are in the top 1 percent of earners. 
Once you’ve made some money, there’s one more way to get richer. Buy a home in a neighborhood with a lot of zoning restrictions. For example, 84 percent of the land in Charlotte, N.C., and 94 percent of the land in San Jose, Calif., is zoned for detached single- family homes. These restrictions keep the supply of housing low and jack up the value of homes for people wealthy enough to already own one. 
My main message is that if you want to get rich, don’t invent a new and useful product, start a company and try to sell it. That seems risky. Put the effort into entering a clubby line of work in which legislators and professional associations are working to make you rich. It’s easier! 

The only problem would be if legislators undo rules that make the rich richer. For example, in California this week, the Berkeley City Council began dismantling the single-family zoning restrictions that keep the housing market tight. If that sort of thing continues, only people who win free and fair competitions will get rich."



President G.Nausėda says that Lithuania is ready to mediate in resolving the crisis in Sakartvel and Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia ...

 Why so much work for us? Because it’s interesting. 

 Our scientists say that now many of us Lithuanians will die from new coronavirus mutants. Why are we not doing anything? Because it’s boring. Who can care about those silent Lithuanians in Lithuanian government? Let them die as much as they want. 

Prezidentas G.Nausėda sako, kad Lietuva pasirengusi tarpininkauti sprendžiant krizę Sakartvele ir Moldovoje, Baltarusijoje, Ukrainoje, Rusijoje, Armenijoje, Turkijoje, Tanzanijoje...



Kodėl tiek daug mums darbo? Nes tai įdomu.

Mokslininkai sako, kad dabar daug mūsų, lietuvių, mirsime nuo naujų koronaviruso mutantų. Kodėl nieko nedarom? Nes tai nuobodu. Kam gali Lietuvos valdžioje rūpėti tie tylūs lietuviai? Tegul miršta sau, kiek nori.

Tik mūsų priešams kinams atitenka nauda iš Lietuvos kaimo sunaikinimo

Mūsų priešai yra Kinija, nes jie kelia didelį pavojų vienintelei jėgai, kuri mus gina - Amerikai. Mes tai suprantame:

 "Kinija nepakankamai įvertino" Rusijos faktorių ", - sakė Andreea Brinza, Bukarešte įsikūrusios ekspertų grupės, Rumunijos Azijos ir Ramiojo vandenyno tyrimų instituto, viceprezidentė. Europos šalys, kuriose Šaltojo karo metu dominavo Maskva, turi nuolatinių strateginių rūpesčių ir, kaip dauguma jų remiasi JAV saugumo garantijomis, jie nori parodyti, kurią pusę jie užima prekybos ginčuose tarp Vašingtono ir Pekino, sakė ji. „Mes tiesiog gerbiame savo pasirinktus strateginius siekius: partnerystę su JAV, NATO ir narystę ES“, - sakė Rumunijos vicepremjeras Danas Barna apie savo šalies atvėsimą Kinijos link. Vyriausybė šį mėnesį pareiškė sugriežtinanti viešųjų pirkimų taisykles, iš tikrųjų uždraudusi Kinijos bendroves, užblokavusi Kinijos dalyvavimą šalies 5G diegime ir pernai atnaujinusi atominę elektrinę." [1] 

Deja, mes esame svarbūs kviečių tiekėjai šiems mūsų priešams. Neturime sąlygų tuos kviečius auginti, todėl pilame vienus chemikalus Lietuvos laukuose. Tokia masinė gamyba naikina Lietuvos dirvožemį, kuris yra kaimo egzistavimo pagrindas. Iš kviečių eksporto į Kiniją negauname padoriai net mokesčių. Tik stambūs ūkininkai prisiperka brangių žaislų - prabangių automobilių, kurie visiems Lietuvoje bado akis ir demoralizuoja žmones. Lietuvos kaimas aukojamas dėl mūsų priešų - Kinijos maisto saugumo:

"Bulgarijos ir Lietuvos atvejais jų padidėjusius eksporto duomenis galima sieti su Kinija. Padidėjusį grūdų importą iš Bulgarijos (kukurūzų) ir Lietuvos (kviečių) lėmė tai, kad Kinija panaikino prekybos kliūtis importuoti šiuos gaminius iš šių šalių. Susitarimai buvo sudaryti per „17 + 1“ viršūnių susitikimą 2019 m. Nuo 2019 m. rugpjūčio mėn. pastebimas didelis Kinijos importo padidėjimas, todėl Lietuva ir Bulgarija tapo antra ir trečia pagal dydį grūdų tiekėja į Kiniją 2019 m. Kinijos importo iš šių šalių padidėjimas gali būti vertinamas kaip šios tendencijos tęstinumas “.

Only our enemies, the Chinese, benefit from the destruction of the Lithuanian countryside

 

 Our enemy is China, because China poses a great threat to the only force that protects us, America. We understand this: 

"China underestimated the "Russia factor," said Andreea Brinza, vice president of Bucharest-based think tank the Romanian Institute for the Study of the Asia-Pacific. European countries dominated by Moscow during the Cold War have lingering strategic concerns, and as most of them rely on U.S. security guarantees, they want to show which side they are taking in trade disputes between Washington and Beijing, she said.

"We are simply respecting the strategic choices we've made: our partnership with the U.S., NATO and EU membership," said Romanian Deputy Prime Minister Dan Barna of his country's cooling toward China. The government said this month that it would tighten public-procurement rules, effectively banning Chinese companies, after blocking Chinese participation in the country's 5G rollout and in refurbishing a nuclear-power plant last year." [1]

 Unfortunately, we are important suppliers of wheat to these enemies of ours. We do not have the conditions to grow the wheat, therefore we pour only chemicals in Lithuanian fields. Such mass production destroys the Lithuanian soil, which is the basis of rural existence. We do not even get decent taxes on wheat exports to China. Only large farmers buy expensive toys - luxury cars, which annoy everyone in Lithuania and demoralize people. Lithuanian village is sacrificed for food security of our enemies - Chinese:

"For the Bulgarian and Lithuanian cases, their increased export figures can be associated with the China. The increased imports of cereals from Bulgaria (maize) and Lithuania (wheat) was a result of China’s lifting of trade barriers to importing these two cereals from these countries. The agreements were concluded during the “17+1” summit in 2019. A sharp increase of Chinese imports has been observed since August 2019, making Lithuania and Bulgaria the second and third largest suppliers of cereals to China in 2019, respectively. As such, the increase in Chinese imports from these countries can be seen as a continuity of this tendency."

Kareivio Šveiko situacija Lietuvoje

 Priverstinės karo tarnybos išvengia tūkstančiai lietuvių. Tie, kurie išvengti negali, yra maišu trenkti. Durniems ne vieta šiuolaikiname kare, kuriame kariauja aukšto lygio profesionalai. Todėl Lietuvos šauktinių  kariuomenė mus negali apginti, be reikalo tik švaistome jai pinigus.

Kodėl Šimonytė nuima karantino apribojimus dabar?

 Nes tai yra populiaru. Apie rimtą pavojų mūsų sveikatai, gyvybei ir ekonomikai Šimonytė net neužsimena. Melas, propaganda, Facebook gyventojų pamaloninimas išgalvotomis idėjomis yra šių valdančiųjų veiklos pagrindai.

"Lietuvoje nustatyta 11 naujų britiškosios koronaviruso (COVID-19) atmainos atvejų, trečiadienį pranešė Sveikatos apsaugos ministerija (SAM).
Anot jos, tai patvirtinančius sekoskaitos tyrimų rezultatus gavo Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto (LSMU) Kauno klinikų laboratorija.

Joje per pastarąją savaitę ištirti 96 ėminiai, o trečiadienį 11-oje ėminių nustatyta šio viruso mutacija.

Šeši ėminiai su britiškąja koronaviruso atmaina „atkeliavo“ iš Vilkaviškio, keturi – iš Kauno, vienas – iš Marijampolės.

Pernai gruodžio 19 dieną Jungtinės Karalystės pareigūnai patvirtino, kad nauja koronaviruso atmaina, aptikta šalyje, gali plisti sparčiau. Šios šalies ministro pirmininko Boriso Johnsono teigimu, naujos atmainos virusas gali būti 70% labiau užkrečiamas.

Nustatyta, jog ši viruso atmaina nukonkuravo kitas dominuojančias atmainas ir tapo viena iš dažniausiai aptinkamų Anglijos regione. Manoma, kad dėl jos stipriai išaugo susirgimų skaičius.

Vėliau sausį B. Johnsonas pranešė, jog esama „tam tikrų duomenų“, jog naujos atmainos koronavirusas yra ne vien užkrečiamesnis, bet ir lemia didesnį užsikrėtusiųjų mirtingumą."
