Quote of the Day: cognitively undemanding

The process of operating a McDonald’s franchise was engineered to be as cognitively undemanding as possible. As Kroc stated, “a person doesn’t need to be super smart or have more than a high school education, but he or she must be willing to work hard and concentrate exclusively on the challenge of operating that store.”

Just like factory jobs, these "cognitively undemanding" business opportunities are gone.

Sad news

TOKYO (AFP) – An elderly penguin who shot to fame in Japan after falling in love with a cardboard cut-out of a cartoon character has died, at the ripe old age of 21.

Earlier this year, the Humboldt penguin became smitten with a cut-out of Hululu – a character from the Japanese anime “Kemono Friends” – after being dumped by his former mate, a female called Midori. A love-sick Grape found solace in Hululu and would stare at her for hours on end.
