    I've had a few busy weekends at a couple conventions, did some canvassing in less urban towns. I'm now applying for a paid traveling position for my state senate. Traveling across the state, expensing anything I need, with pay at a flat rate each week for the summer.

    Or, I can stay closer to home, get less money, and work directly with the former governors campaign. Still weighing my options.

    Consider the position that contributes the greater good for the People, and not for the personality.

    Other than that, expense a Lamborghini for travel expenses. The hidden benefit....

    I think you have me confused for a BLM chapter.

    anyway, I think I’ll take the traveling position over the fmr. Governors campaign that would keep me nearby.

    I am now much more concerned with your neglected classic auto education, than I am with your government studies and politics education, if you are of the opinion that a Lamborghini is a BLM thing. Frankly, that is Blasphemy.

    Expensing it with donation money sure is a BLM thing :eek:

    Lets not be disingenuous, now. There is no political organization that does not expense donation funds on such items...planes, boats, yachts, autos, hotels, etc., to blend in with the wealthy ambiance of those making donations. It is legal, tax deductible, and no different from expensing a $1.5 Million luxury mobile home, when a $25,000.00 used Winnebago may accomplish the same result.

    If you are going to participate in the politics game, one of the important things to remember is don't play the holier than thou card, in the hopes it will send the receivers into a guilt trip.

    A BLM thing? Sure, and a RNC thing and a DNC thing and a Constitutionalist thing and a Green Party thing, and....

    How about a Lamborgotti Fasterossa?

    Or better yet, Apu's Trans Am?

    Nothing is quite as cool or classy as President Trump's 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud:

    I found it a bit odd..... I wanted to watch the Beatles rooftop concert and it happens to be on the Disney Channel right now. I watched it a few months back with no problem. Yesterday though, I had to go through three hoops and howl at the moon before I could get to it. Apparently, the film has been now rated for mature viewing only..... Because there is cigarette smoking in the film..... Jeez, man. We can watch two fellows locking lips on the screen, but watching a Beatle smoke a cig is mature viewing now. Good Lord we have lost any semblance of common sense these days.

    I am afraid there is no going back. I was having dinner with a business friend this weekend. He told me that he is offering $1400.00 a week plus all expenses as well as a car allowance to get people. He builds Dollar General stores throughout the southeast. He says he gets numerous applicants. Once they find they cannot work from home, they don't respond.... Heck even business etiquette is a thing of the past. We seem to have crossed some weird threshold that I don't think there is any turning back from.

    Oh, there will be turning back from this MD, don't you worry . . . we just have to wait until everything that supports their currently comfy existence finally runs out, and run out it will.

    I once wrote about the breaking of the middle rungs on the ladder of success . . . it's happening as we speak, and it's the flat-liers who are breaking the rungs . . . not the business leaders. They won't realize that until it's far too late to do anything about it except whine about it.

    I hope you and your loyal employees hang in there because, at the back end of this thing, those who persisted through thick and thin will be the ones who prosper.

    I'd agree with that

    Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who recently announced that employees could work from home forever, calls the office an 'anachronistic form' and 'from a pre-digital age'

    • Brian Chesky recently announced Airbnb would let employees work remotely forever without losing pay.

    • In an interview for Time's The Leadership Brief, the CEO said, "The office as we know it, is over."

    • He also explained why he thought the three-day in-office hybrid model was flawed.
    For Brian Chesky, Airbnb's CEO, working at the office is now a relic of the past.

    In an interview for Time's The Leadership Brief published on Sunday, Chesky said he believed the office was "an anachronistic form" that was "from a pre-digital age." His comments came after Airbnb announced that it would let employees work remotely forever with no pay cut, citing the ability to widen its talent pool and adding that the company had its most productive two-year period ever while working remotely.

    "I think that the office as we know it, is over," he told Time. "We can't try to hold on to 2019 any more than 1950. We have to move forward."

    He continued: "If the office didn't exist, I like to ask, would we invent it? And if we invented it, what would it be invented for? Obviously, people are going to still go to hospitals and work, people are going to still go to coffee shops and work — those spaces make complete sense. But I think that for somebody whose job is on a laptop, the question is, well, what is an office meant to do?"

    Chesky said that shortly after announcing that Airbnb would go fully remote, the company's careers page received more than 800,000 views.

    In January, Chesky said he was "living on Airbnb," working from various cities across the US. In his Time interview on Sunday, he acknowledged there would still be some need for offices, but he concluded that "the office has to do something a home can't do."

    "People will still go to offices, but it'll be for different purposes, for collaboration spaces," he said.

    Chesky told Time that working 100% remotely could diversify hiring since employees could be based anywhere, but it could also make some employees feel isolated from their coworkers and company.

    While he said a compromise was necessary, he believed there were flaws with the common hybrid work model of having employees work from the office three days a week, which companies such as Google and Apple are using.

    Airbnb's alternative to this model is to have employees meet up in person about one week per quarter.

    "My prediction is three days a week becomes two days a week, and two days a week becomes one day a week, and pretty soon are you really in a hybrid world, or are you mostly a remote world?" he said. "People don't realize this two, three days a week thing is not super sustainable. People are going to realize, 'OK, let's be more intentional about when people gather. And let's gather for a week or two at a time.'"

    Brian Chesky is proving himself to be a small thinker . . .

    Clown, if there is hope for you, it is in not agreeing with stupidity.
    But, Clown, if you do agree with him, you both need to be kicked in the balls.

    Quite honestly..... This appears to be yet one more case of dismantling a successful system that has benefited the needs of the many to satisfy the needs of the overly sensitive few.... This is like tearing down a house because a window was broken.
