Yup, that's why i think CEO's and Landlords shouldn't exist. When a skilled labourer brings 70-80% of the cost of an item, why does he deserve 1% of that objects price in compensation?

I'm glad to hear that these talented women have finally found ways to sell these beautiful works of art, without getting ripped off by middle men. Taking most of the profit, from *their* hard work! If they can continue doing so for a while, it will allow them to live better, buy better gear etc. etc. I wish them all the best.

[@S5V5NS0NGZ]

Every time I watch this type of video especially with the pipes the number one worry is not having people to teach the craft too. I would love to start a program that goes into prisons and youth detention centers to find candidates to match with all these older master of all these crafts and teach them. I’d guarantee the majority would find new paths in life with a newfound skill and respectable artistry. It truly is heart breaking to think of all the things we have forgotten or will forget due to todays youth not showing any interest. People in prisons and drug rehab programs have nothing but time and a desire to do something meaningful that they can feel proud of… I will meditate on it. Much Love All 🙏🏼

[@mwater_moon2865]

Some prisons are doing this, there's a program in Cook county prison (in Chicago, where over half of the jail population has never being found guilty, it takes that long to wait for trial) to train prisoners as chefs. Because even if they do end up convicted, while many shops and restaurants won't higher convicts for the front of house, but they will for the back.

I love watching curling 🥌 during the Winter Olympics. It’s really the only game I watch besides the gymnastics 🤸‍♀️. Watching curling just relaxes me for some reason. Watching the stones go slowly down the ice and the brooms scratching the ice. The first time I watched I was like what is this? 😂😂. I’d never seen such a thing but now I would love to try it.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:34 🥌 *Olympic curling stones, made by Kays of Scotland, cost over $600 each, with a full set valued at $9,600, due to their rare Ailsa Craig granite and precision crafting.* 08:52 🌐 *Increased global interest in curling, especially after its inclusion in the Olympics, has led to a rise in demand for Olympic curling stones, prompting more frequent granite harvesting by Kays.* 10:28 🎶 *Crafting high-end oboes, like those made by Howarth of London, involves a meticulous process that takes five years, with African blackwood being a crucial but scarce material.* 13:57 🔑 *The complexity and number of keys in oboes contribute to their cost, with the intricate keywork being a significant factor, and the labor-intensive assembly accounting for 60-80% of production costs.* 18:51 🌊 *South Sea pearls, the most expensive cultured pearls, require five years to cultivate, with only a quarter of oysters surviving, and implantation being a crucial step in their development.* 24:49 💎 *Only 20% of surviving oysters produce the highest-grade South Sea pearls, characterized by roundness, luster, minimal blemishes, and large size, contributing to their high market value.* 27:27 🎨 *Handmade Chiso kimonos are expensive due to being entirely silk, requiring intricate handcrafting that takes 6-12 months, with prices ranging from $7,000 to over $100,000.* 47:40 🧵 *Moroccan rugs are handwoven, using natural dyes and intricate patterns, taking months to make, facing challenges of fair wages and competition, with prices exceeding $1,000.* 01:01:16 🌍 *Bellerby & Co. Globemakers produce handmade, customized globes with attention to detail, limited production, and prices ranging from $2,000 to over $94,000.* 01:19:45 ⛳ *Honma Golf clubs, costing over $50,000 for a set, are crafted by 25 master craftsmen, featuring luxury materials like platinum and gold, with a meticulous manufacturing process.* Made with HARPA AI

This is an amazing video and I enjoyed every bit of it. It's another time of the year. One need to set goals and take bold steps in achieving them. Remember success are not obtained overnight. It comes in installment; you get a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate you lose that day of success.

Well, from my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. So far I've made over $325k since September last year in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it if you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key to short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

[@georgewilliam9978]

@amandalaura8472 My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like I have a particular fund I invest in, plus I don't do that but myself. I follow the trades of Karen Gaye Gray. She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial adviser as her diversification skills are top notch, I'm saying because I see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike I can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

Kenji is an absolute beast and his sowing partner is a grand master both are approaching the grave together and are at the end of a Legacy that won't be matched until the current apprentices reach the age of 50 minimum but tomako gets more praise and a higher pay packet because her eyes still work and her hands don't shake. It is disrespectful that at the end of a master's life when they can barely work any more the younger master's get more respect and make more money. When they should be on a pension and on daily pain relief. But they are judged and paid based on their profit margins based on what there skills and abilities are worked out to be worth against the youthful competition. If they dropped their standards they would be out of a job. None of you notice this because you are young and you have never done one single job for your entire life.
