I hope you are right. I'm a bit concerned about the President of your (and my former) union speaking at the RNC. Do we know for sure he isn't planning to endorse Trump?

He’s using this as a pulpit to get across his consistent message.

He better, because Trump will end unions if he gets the chance.

I know how O’Brien rolls. Look at his consistent message.

A former coworker of mine is now 3rd in charge of the union. He said that’s exactly what he’s going to do. His objective was always to go Democrat. He’s not stupid. He just doesn’t want to alienate a good portion of his clueless constituents
 
From what I’ve been told, O’Brien got the invitation. Mulled over it. Decided he wants to get his word out there
 
Running a company is about putting together and managing an organization that works together, can define strategy and execute on it.

One that creates a culture that respects employees and has their respect

Having learned from a long history of my own hiring and business mistakes, failures and successes, what people say about their former boss when we check references is important.

The candidates' approach to learning is very relevant. Are they curious ? Are they lifelong learners ? Do they know what they don't know and hire people to complement their skills ?

The world is constantly changing. There is more unknown than known. If the CEO isn't curious and always reading, consuming information and learning, it will be very difficult for them to anticipate or respond to challenges. Not being a learner is to me an immediate disqualifier

Whether or not the candidate has a history of success or failures is relevant, as well.

Both are old. As such, I would have to make accommodations and provide them support that would be specific to their needs.

There is of course much more when hiring someone to be a CEO.

Of our 2 candidates, one I would have no problem hiring as a sales representative. He is very good at making people feel comfortable and quickly conveying what he is trying to sell. He also knows how to ask for the order. He is obviously a good salesperson. I don't think he scores well with the other criteria

The other isn't a very good salesperson, but has a recent 3 year history of having built a strong culture where people are very committed to him. They seem to love working with him.

They seem to respect the fact that he has hired qualified people who create a culture of schievement, working together to accomplish the goals of the organization.

When they don't succeed or run into challenges or problems, they seem to stay calm and focus and don't rebel against him as their leader

I don't know if he is a voracious reader and learner, but I have read about him discussing books he has read.

This is the person I would hire as a CEO.

So to answer your question Piers, Yes. Of the 2 options Joe is who I would hire as a CEO

 
Here’s the DNC chair being completely delusional on MSNBC. I keep MSNBC on my YT feed because i like to keep tabs on what the neoliberal establishment left is up to. The comments are always unhinged Democratic loyalists fawning over some crooked politician or ineffective policy. Lot of misspelling, all caps, exclamation points, emojis, you get the idea. Anyhow, the comments on this video are scathing toward the DNC and party as a whole. I’ve never seen the MSNBC-bots deviate from the establishment narrative this hard. Not looking good for Biden, at least in that particularly deranged faction of the left.

Are you a socialist? What's it like to be publicly owned?
 
Another paper calling for a presidential candidate to withdraw from the election.

 
Trump complaining about media commentary. Too much focus on criticizing Biden. Not enough praise for him.
 
The 60 minutes report was blistered for its totally uncritical reporting that left out majority opinion. Want another link?
Farore important. One guy is old. One guy has absolute immunity.
 
You know Occam's razor? Simplest explanation that requires least special pleading usually correct? He had a cold. His affect was consistent with cold pills. Notice how he improved during the debate and was much better afterwards, fighting Biden next day, consistent with medication wearing off.
Sigh. He should have just had chicken soup.

I think having a teleprompter does help (and I don't mean that in a knocking sense. I'm horrible off the cuff, but if I have talking points (god I hate that saying) or bullet points, I'm good).
 
And they are still tied in the polls.
