When Understanding is Overrated.
Friday, February 13th, 2009We’re in the airport in Chicago right now. There were two loud-talking, mom jean-wearing businessmen sitting behind us on the flight here. They seemed to both work in the exciting world of air filtration, so all the “filter this, filter that” became white noise after a while – until one said, “We’re opening up a new plant in Canada, because the labor rate is lower there. Also, you know, Canadians are a lot smarter than Mexicans.”
Somehow, I’m looking forward to living in a place where I rarely understand anything anyone says for a while.
