John Hill, your post link is clearly written in the tinge of an editor who doesn't think much of President Trump.
My wife, a hairdresser, once worked with another hairdresser who was the star of the salon in Ann Arbor. He had taught in the premier cosmetology school, had a huge clientele and great reputation in the community, In the salon he had three chairs and three assistants, new grads from the school, who did a lot of the work, hair-washing, color-mixing, applying, and drying after the cut, then sweeping up the clippings and making the chair ready for the next client. It was a McJob.
His assistants worked for free, and a few tips, just to watch the master at work and learn from him. His name is Chip, taken from his ethnicity as a Chippewa Indian, a Michigan tribe now known as Ojibway. He just worked after the assistants had done their work and clipped for a few minutes with each client and raked in the profit.
Chip made about $5,000 a week my wife says, styling and cutting hair on his three chairs. Chip was also hooked into the gravy train of Ojibway revenues from their rights, along with other native tribes, to operate casinos to the exclusion of non-native American licenses. Chip earned another six figure+ income as a birthright from casino revenue. Chip lives in an enclave of other native Americans near Chelsea, an exclusive town West of Ann Arbor. There are ten or so large estates in the enclave, all owned by Chip's fellow Ojibways, all raking in casino profits. These estates run well into 7 figure values, and the driveways are like a showroom of super luxury vehicles.
It's nice of the rest of us are able to help out the less fortunate.
