wish the top story would have been the release of Edan Alexander.
eta: I do like the comparison list you researched for 'gifts given'...
Edan could have been the top of the 7 👍
The New Ways Bosses Talk About Workers is quite the turnaround from the Costco article... however, the attitude of some workers could be quite "irritatingly derserving", especially if they are some of those who entered college w/out having read a book, having to take remedial classes, relying on AI, & now find that AI CAN do their jobs...
Hmm, an interesting juxtaposition to yesterday's lead story
"The New Ways Bosses Talk About Workers: Step it up, stop complaining—and make way for AI. CEOs are no longer lauding employees as the talent."
Does the MBA class ever learn???
And the real take on the Qatari 747, ain't gonna happen because Air Force One is a military plane not a private jet. Installing a refueling system, defensive armaments, and secure com systems would take at least 3 years. Look at this as an elbow to the Pentagon and Boeing to get the damn planes done
And now I look down and see dj and I are on the same page!
A very interesting fact about various gifts made to America and its Presidents. I was wondering if portrait of President Trump gifted by President Putin can be classified as a gift to America or was this given to Mr Trump personally? I don't have the facts so was wondering if what value this would have in monetory terms - although we all know the controversy it would or has created already and the non-monetary value of flattery is unimaginable.
About the airplane, you don't think it's going to happen?!?! You have far more trust in the government than I do! So far, this administration has been able to do whatever the heck they want, and done so easily.
There are a myriad of reasons to question the plane gift, from what happens to the two planes already in production, to how long it would take to gut/retrofit another plane, to the emoluments clause. None of it makes sense other than perhaps a way to put pressure on Boeing. Even then, I understand the Air Force is responsible for the key steps behind the delays. The one question I haven’t seen discussed is why?
What’s the benefit of this “gift” for Qatar? Sure they are rolling in money but you don’t do something like this for fun and games. Anyone with any sense understands trump is by his very nature transactional in every single thing he does. What is the quid pro quo here?

Not so sure. Everything they have done has been subtractive with the exception of what musk has gained.

In the history of gifts to US presidents, we’ve come a long way from Richard Nixon’s September 1952 “Checkers Speech”.

I am not surprised by Trump accept ping the plane. I m surprised that he will have a library. Didn’t think he could read (I know, that is mea )
But true. It will prob have coloring books from McDonald's.
Enjoyed the info about the Statue of Liberty. That was the good stuff that I enjoy any more.
