So you're a gang banger...Trump presidency latest: Vance’s Greenland visit
Story Time: I once worked for a company that had layoffs initiated by the Board of Directors (BOD). (I previously posted about them mass-firing everyone without much thought and then getting stuck in the boardroom.) A couple of weeks after the layoffs, our company was overwhelmed with programming and design needs, given the small staff we had left.
The BOD invited a company we had a marketing contract with to bid on contract services. I was put in charge of auditing their program disciplines and resources to determine whether they could handle the projects. When I met with their representatives, they were extremely agitated—they had expected to sign a contract, not undergo an evaluation. I explained that I had been instructed by the BOD to assess and report back, nothing more.
That night, the owner of the marketing company sent two thugs to threaten me into signing the contract. I genuinely feared for my safety, as I knew one of them was connected to a gang. Since I had no authority to sign the contract, I told them I would recommend their company to the BOD—just so I could get out of that situation unharmed. Once they seemed to believe me, they asked for a tour of our company building. As we walked through, they openly discussed where they would move in and who would take over various spaces.
I expect Vance to be that same kind of bully/thug going into Greenland with the exact same expectations.
Luckily, my story ended better. As soon as they were out the door, I locked the building down and sent an email to the BOD and company lawyers detailing exactly what had happened. I also submitted my immediate resignation. Within 45 minutes, I got a call from the company’s top lawyer and the president of the board. They refused my resignation, gave me paid leave (with some meetings to discuss everything), gave me a raise, and showed me the termination letter for the $1M marketing contract, effective immediately. They also issued an order preventing those people from ever contacting me again (though they did try once).
And that’s also how I met my wife—I was basically in charge of getting her fired from that marketing company. So I took her to Mexico, and we’ve been together for 25 years.

Interesting that Carney is PM instead of Governor,
Business acumen of a person who bankrupted two casinos.Ignoring the sensationalized headline, the point remains:
Trump Accidentally Wrecks His Own Tariff Spin in Leaked Call Stunner
In a call with auto CEOs, the president warned them against raising prices. Isn’t that an admission that his argument for tariffs is bogus?www.yahoo.com
Not only does he know that tariffs force companies to raise prices (and are not an external tax on other countries), he is dumb enough to think that raising prices on a business by 25% can be overcome by simply asking them to not raise prices and just let him bankrupt them.
They don't make a lot of money on new cars as it is.
