Too much of a burden
|
Lot of time spent with family, friends and people I used to know these days. Looking at what people do and say every 12 months is mind blowing. How close and how far away you can be 12 months, and 20.000 km away. You hear conversations. About 20 or 80 euros more or less per month that people receive in their pensions or in their social security payments. Complaints. Hopes. But not much action. Not much anything. I suppose that spending 1 or 2 hours to make a claim to the government is too much of a burden. Better complain and do nothing. But the most lovely scene of these days are the queues. And not the typical queues at the malls, at the bars, at the restaurants, at the ice cream shops, at the cafeterias… No. The queues to buy Spanish lottery. More than one hour waiting in the street. Under the cold. Sometimes under the rain. One hour waiting to buy a 2 euro hope ticket for a 0.000001% probability to win a few million euros. 2 euros and one or two hours of queue. You can explain them that they could go to the internet and with no waiting and from the comfort of your home, buy the same tickets and even have access to more tickets and buy exactly the number that you want… but again. Too much of a burden. Too much complexity. Too much work. Better waiting in the queue. In the course below, you can increase your chances of making a few million euros by a few million times the probability of winning the Spanish lottery. You can do it from the comfort of your home. No queues… But maybe… to much of a burden. Too much complexity. Too much work. And this is why you won’t buy the course below. ​Even you can make money in real estate. ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

A German and a Swiss engineer build a bridge… Sounds like the start of a joke. But it is real. It happened in Laufenburg. The two countries used different reference levels for measuring elevation. A 27-centimetre difference. The engineers knew about it. So they corrected it. With the wrong sign. The difference became 54 centimetres. Beautiful. Two countries working together to make one problem twice as big. There’s a lesson here… The pictures are in the internet. If you’re not sure exactly...
Imagine the meeting. A team arrives with a brilliant infrastructure idea. Good engineers. Beautiful drawings. Some very expensive lawyers wearing 5.000 suits… so that you know well where your money is going… They may even have intellectual property. Actual IP. Something more substantial than putting “proprietary” in the footer. The project will reduce congestion, create jobs and transform the economy. Of course. Nobody has ever arrived at a minister’s office promising to make traffic worse....
Apparently, Poland has a PPP project with a CAPEX of €12,000. I haven’t forgotten any zeros. Twelve thousand euros. A colleague of mine in Poland told me the story. My first thought? Surely the lawyers cost ten times more. I haven’t seen their invoices. But, I would say… Please don’t send me a legal letter. It might double the project budget. But seriously. You know I work in PPPs. I like them. I’ve spent more than 20 years bidding, delivering and managing them. And sometimes, the most useful...
