The science may not be quite there yet, but I read an article suggesting that medical implants might one day be powered by our own bodies, since our bodies rely on electric impulses and other forms of energy to function. They're already doing testing on animals.
Just adding one last thought. You’d be surprised at the amount of our clients that win bids for big jobs, like the wind farm, etc that are supposed to only use “their” electricians on certain sites - they tell our guys to just tell them they work for whatever their company is so no one knows. It’s how they fly under the radar as well. By using us they don’t have to take on the burden of workman’s comp, benefits, insurance because we handle all of that.
Do you think someone like TIP or its parent company would go with non union workers like you source at your company say to work on a special project or if there was some kind of natural disaster or huge outage or to possibly be a temp because they can't find enough skilled labor in their region? I know when there are natural disasters in my local area that we see line workers from all over the country and the local utilities bring in workers from whereever they can get them. But from what you described it also seems like companies hire your people as 'almost permanent' workers even though they are technically classified as temps?
Yes, absolutely. That’s why our clients now use us. They don’t have to hire a bunch of guys for projects and then do layoff’s. We are usually used because companies don’t have the Recruiting power we do, time or haven’t had luck or familiar with wages, options, etc of where the work is located. If you’re not used to hiring remote it can be tricky. So glad you mentioned this!
I think you are smart to be aware as much as possible about who you are dealing with. We've been trying to connect dots to figure out how someone can vanish into thin air like MT. Without much information from LE its been rough going to say the least. But not to cast stones at your skilled workers as I am sure most are decent hardworking people trying to support themselves and their families, it would be easy for someone to be a temp worker and just float around on the road going from job to job. I would think they would just blend into the background in most of the towns and not get a second glance from most of the locals. I also would think if they are away from home they would be lonely and this might lead to activities that might be out of the ordinary. Speculation sure, but could be possible. Thanks again for your posts. So interesting to see how these construction jobs fill out their work forces.
It seems like if the data point overlap that the chance of a connection is good. Sadly we just don't know. This is out of left field but I wonder if MT met someone to grab a meal at the truck stop? Not sure if locals go to the truck stop but given the lack of local eating options maybe its an idea? Does this seem likely to anyone?
I think that makes sense if you have an out-of-town person, who was perhaps just sort of wandering back roads, hunting, and who MAYBE lives North of I-80. I would see Area 3 as where Mollie is, Area 4 as where a savvy person might have dumped electronics (or turned them off) as a slight means of mis-leading authorities, then wandering back north toward home and the Interstate on dark unknown roads. He would not have known the area well enough to realize he had hit the same truck stop as the exit to Brooklyn. I would guess he didn't even suspect he might also be on camera in Brooklyn. I can see it for an out-of-towner.
that would explain the times. 5pm to 10pm. the red dots on top seem normal, but the two southern dots seem out of place. they could have occurred much later, and perhaps those two pings occurred closer to the 10pm mark instead of earlier in the evening. Thank you for your response.
