Texters and Friendship

I don’t text, especially while driving, but people who do leave behind call records of their friendships and that tells researchers a lot. If you have friends near work, you’re happier, and if you have friends at work, you’re unhappier. I get that. Your boss may be your friend who is always right, but he/she is never really your friend.


Texting Alters Young Brains

While we’re texting. Researchers have found texting is a brain-altering habit for young people. It trains young brains to be speedy but sloppy. Young people who text a lot make mistakes involving memory, attention span and learning. Young people who don’t text can’t afford a smart phone.

Cocaine Cash

If you’re paying cash today, and most of my customers do, there could be traces of cocaine on the bills you give me or the change I give you. Bills in the US, Canada, Brazil, China and Japan were tested for drug traces. The lowest rates were found in China (12 per cent), the highest in the US (95 per cent). The cleanest city in the US is Salt Lake city, home of the Mormon religion. I drive a lot of bankers. They used to pay with old cash but now they usually pay with new cash which comes directly from the government. In other words, it’s dirty too.
