Ever since I was 20, I wanted to be under a 40. 40 year old or 40 DD, didn't matter which. Although a 40 with a set of 40s...jackpot!
But it's the time of year for the local rag to pick out 20 people who have had their name in the paper or whose company can buy an ad and create a special section.
75 percent of these people work for taxing bodies or not-for-profits. That shouldn't be a surprise as those are the same people who city hall, GREDF and the local media empire believe are the chosen ones.
People who have their own businesses or actually have to produce something for a living are seen as second class citizens because those in power don't want self-reliance. They want you to think you can't get along with out them. Pretty liberal of them, huh?
Also notice that there are three members of Jim Mentesti's Junior Justice League on this year's list.
Can't believe the token QNIer didn't make it this year. I guess the Oakley grandkids still have plenty of years to make it.

BS propaganda put out by the dead tree media.
Must make them feel good.
Careful what you say... Jamie Busen of QNO is a former 20U40!
It is just another way to add revenue to the company. They sell the ads underneath the picture and the bio to make $$. Useless, yes, profitable, yes....

Not that it makes any difference, but Busen is not a former 20U40. She just wrote about 'em.
Anybody here jealous much? Get off your ass, go volunteer, and try to make a difference.
So what if they work for non-profits? If these non-profits to help the community I don't really see what the problem is here.
Yep, totally jealous of a government looter mutual admiration society, you got me!
Only idiots think the media have a responsibility to bring us news or act in the public interest. Their job is to make money. Read any Journalism 101 text.

Nice to see you have time during your job at a not-for-profit to look at our little blog.
I'm heading to work at my job, where I actually make and sell something.
How productive does it feel to ridicule those helping those in need instead of actually helping those in need.
Do you make fun of first responders too?
WTF 9:19 ?
If your a non-for-profit you save the world?
Me thinks you think quite highly of yourself.
Who do you think should make this list then?
Directly making fun of the QHW doesn't accomplish much either since there are lots of other papers doing this same thing.
Next subject.
token QNIer: Who, Bob G? Oh wait. He "blew" that chance.

How about people who actualy DESERVE to be here ? And not just the close knit QNI community ? Someone besides advertisers and non-profit goverment?
And other newspapers do this to is your excuse? Other newspapers are going under too. Thought about that "subject"?
"How about people who actualy DESERVE to be here"
Once again, who?
Your koolaid drinking prophet Tookie turned 40 a couple weeks ago, so he's a no-go.

Would like to see how much profit they would make if they sold this section outright.
Should change the name of the 20 under 40 to the #1 Pet Contest, wait, they already have that.
