When you take a shot at the most powerful person in the world (hyperbole to make a point), you better not miss.

I’ve decided not to apply for a promotion I was likely to get partially because it would have meant managing a person I dated 18 years ago. She is a lawyer. I shouldn’t be smarter than her about what could represent a workplace ethical violation.

But of course he did.

I mean, I get that he wouldn’t be able to get it to trial until Trump is already dead. But it just sets a bad precedent to let a President try to steal an election.

Show me where he is setting military policy. I’ll wait.

Oh, hang on, he isn’t. He is making a public statement about what he thinks politicians should do based on what he observes in his daily work on the job. It’s literally the Chairman’s job to make public statements about what is best for the industry they work in and what is best for their company.

You’re right. He’s the Chairman, who in most corporations leads the hiring of the CEO. He’s actually higher up. Congrats on being technically correct.

The Chairman or CEO or whatever of a major defense corporation has a vested stake in what things might affect the defense industry and very likely has a team of people informing him of what is going on geopolitically. This person is someone who probably knows more than you on things like this, so maybe listening to him is worthwhile. We don’t have to follow what he says, but hearing what he says is probably a good idea.

Who said anything about stock price? I sure didn’t.

Who cares what the CEO of a major Defense contractor thinks about the defense of the continent that company is located in? I’d say a lot of people.

Dmitry Peskov said: “Why is he involved in nuclear weapons?”

“Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov expressed surprise that a representative of the civil aviation industry would make such statements.”

I have to think that Peskov knows Airbus is not just a civil aviation company… He does know that Airbus is a major defense contractor, right? The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) just rebranded itself as Airbus 10 years ago. The literally make missiles. Why wouldn’t the CEO of a company that makes weapons talk about making weapons?

When I first saw signs about fly-tipping in London, my head went to cow tipping and thought, “someone would need really fast reactions to tip over a fly.”
