Do they want to stay in business? Great! Figure it out - this is part of the cost of doing business.

Climbs on soapbox I cannot stand it when business leaders won’t do the hard work to run their businessea properly. They are greedy and lazy and this is the market’s hand slapping them around.

What are the odds they were included in that chat on purpose?

Wut.

I heard shaving cream can damage car paint. It would be a real bummer if someone had a shaving cream fight near a dealership and some of it got on the cars to sit overnight.

Whip It by Devo, which struck me as hilarious as a kid. And I hadn’t even seen the video!

I dunno what to tell you, man. You reap what you sow.

It would be nice if Dems had someone who could identify both a cohesive vision AND a path/plan for execution. You know. Actually governing.

Thanks! On my to be watched list. 👍

This was years and years in the making. Many of which Democrats held more power. Basically they governed so poorly for so long, some Americans felt like voting for this kind of change was their best option.

You may want some examples of stuff that people may think needs to change:

• We have an immigration approach so terrible, it has left millions of people without a path to be here legally
• The perception of ineffency across Federal agencies (which is fair if you’ve ever had to weight for VA services, sit in a social security office or try to get global entry)
• The overall sense that the rich are getting richer while most Americans fall behind

This is a plot twist I should have seen coming.

Betcha he’ll get a solid “gratuity” for it, too.

The incompetence is astounding.

I know, right? We are experiencing the fall of our democracy and they concluded they should talk about healthcare.

Meanwhile, Democrats struggle to mount effective opposition but are beginning to focus on key issues, especially healthcare.

Democtats once again bring a soup ladle to a gun fight.

I wonder if there are enough all women boards to see a pattern in their performance. Would be interesting to compare…

Removing the large swaths of the workforce in an agency does not automatically mean the remaining people will become more efficient and pick up the extra work. They need processes, tools, and training to support the increased workload - and even then it is possible that the RIF was too much. I’m not even sure a “scalpel” would be effective without a way to redirect the blood. Are these guys trying to be a case study in the HBR on what not to do?

Oooo, I should try that! I have been using KU, which I know isn’t awesome, but did allow romance authors to break the publishing model (fascinating story: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/romance-novels/). And there’s a part of me that wants to give the middle finger to publishers who took in a bunch of money from romance books to pay for books/authors that would never recoup their costs.

I read ebooks.

I’ve had good luck with acupuncture. In one extreme case it fixed my bell palsy months faster that the doctor said it would heal.

Dumb question: who is behind the 14th Now group?
