This AM....I sat and was reading through various news outlets....coming to the Irish Independent.
I paused over this.
Not to slam barbers....but typically, in the US and Germany....where I've had 99-percent of my haircuts (lets not discuss the one brief hair-cut in Turkey with the burning Q-tip procedure on my ear-hair)....the only conversations to ever arise...were sports-related, weather, or inflation-chatter.
If you asked me to assess IQ-level....I hate to admit it....but I might give most guys less-than-average IQ. The handful of women-barbers....were strictly cost-of-living chatty and better-than-average on IQ.
If you tried to engage me on climate change....I'd probably ask you if there was a silence-fee (say 3-Euro)....and I'd pay it if you'd just avoid talking to me...especially over climate change. I might even hint....your tip is dependent on your silence.
Who got this dimwitted to suggest the idea? Unknown.
My biggest worry? Barber-school is typically around 1,000 to 1,500 hours....at least in the US. So adding two or three modules....to make some kid or gal smart on climate-change (actually testing them)? You might have to add 300 to 500 man-hours. Then you'd have to require them to take a yearly refresher course (to stay within the cult-mindset)....so a simple 18 Euro haircut (what I pay in Wiesbaden)....would probably have to go up to 25 Euro to cover annual extra training).
Its a crazy world we are developing into.
