    Trump said he would run this country like a business and he sure is proving it.

    Two unqualified buffoons in charge and doing buffoonish things while focusing on appearance over substance telling the most qualified people that they’re doing their jobs wrong.

    Sounds like pretty much every job I’ve ever had.

      Running it like a business is what got the Challenger and Columbia astronauts killed.

      I want it run like a fucking engineer or scientist.

      But worst of all, he’s running it like he did when he bankrupted his 6 other fucking businesses.

      Yeah, those people that think having a businessman running the country would be better are either business owners themselves, or have never actually worked in a business.

          Running a business like a business is pointlessly destructive and long term stupid

          When Boeing was run like an engineering club with a sales department, they were legendary. Now they’re run like a business.

            Prioritizing short term profit when running s business is destructive and long term stupid for the business. But some people make a lot of money by buying companies and running them into the ground, so I don’t think it’s technically “pointless.”

            Back when Boeing was ran by engineers, you had to crash the plane yourself. It took running the company like a business to come up with the Innovation that automated that

          Too many decades of anti-left propaganda has left people with the crazy idea that the only model for anything is a profit-making business.

      Sounds about right … and they’ll keep giving everyone the runaround until the money dries up … then they’ll all scatter like cockroaches and leave everyone else holding the bag … an empty bag … a very, very empty bag.
