I wonder if he's going to pull a Trump card and not actually pay anyone in the end

Early Ford hated bankers and investors. He did some brilliant moves to cut them out and early Ford really seemed to be pro worker. Later Ford was not the same man.

I'm speaking to #2 in the article and how some of differences in communication styles in my workplace that caused fiction between millennials and older Gen's especially those in industry not sittings at laptops or into IM or facetime.

They are usually doing sales on the road or building things in their shops. The customer service team gets frustrated they can't get instant answers by email but they won't try other methods of reaching the customer. Phone is what I choose as it is the one thing we all have versus are they using and actually checking, texts, whatsapp, Telegram, signal, FB Messenger, Kik, snap, facetime, zoom, teams, google meet, twitter, Etc.

As old as phone is, it's something that will cut through those other questions. So it's not always generational it can be situational too.

I've just started watching Hacks. They do a great job of highlighting the differences between Z and boomers.

The things that were just plain terrible in the workplace the boomers just lived with and worked around like sexual harassment horrified and shutdown the Gen Z character, while the boomers just figured ways around it best they could being woman without much say in their times. They were laughing about it in retrospect, especially rejoicing in the sexual harasser boss being dead.

Those women put up with a lot of sh8t and trail blazed for their time. That's not to say any of it was right. As a Gen X it's interesting the different worlds we all have been raised in.

Unfortunately many customers in my industry are of the older age set and they aren't glued to their devices or computers so the only way to get them quickly is by phone. That still works for immediately resolution of issues. I prefer email for the CYA aspect but some issues can't wait days or weeks of back and forth. A phone call with that older generation is fast acting.

I've yet to see any footage yet and with all these comments now I'm wondering if bumbling Bush Jr looks like a genius now compared to these guys...

I think of the absolute horror and the whole news cycle dedicated to a tan suit...

I saw a crazy Instagram video where the citizens are upset they are only trying to clean up the river for the Olympics not for the people that live there. They were trying to start a viral campaign to have everyone Sh8t in the river after the clean up is done.
