There's some incredibly stupid stuff in here.
A. If you're the CEO & people are holding meetings that waste time, demand more effective meetings.
B. Phone calls ARE meetings. High level managers are rarely co-located with all their employees.
C. 50 direct reports?

Meetings are not work, says Southwest Airlines CEO—and he’s taking action, by blocking his calendar every afternoon from Wednesday to Friday
Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan says too many execs mistake packed calendars for productivity. He’s found a “crazy” solution.

The irony of a prosecuting someone for interfering with ICE while claiming no one is above the law is striking.
Prosecutor:
“The judicial robe that the defendant wore that day do not put her above the law.”

That feeling when you're setting yourself up to use the "No True Scotsman" logical fallacy but your leader contradicts your reckless claim. Jack can't publicly claim Trump isn't really a member of the right.
Jack, seems like your president may disagree with you. Sick.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

This aligns with my belief that most MAGA voters are looking for someone else to blame for their own failures and mediocrity.
This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

They didn't get fired for their views. They got fired for what they said to customers on camera for the world to see. See the difference?
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”
