Corporate executives have a seat for $2000 to dine with china’s leader or $40000 seat for one seat at Mr XIs table.

I was hoping it would be Sidney Poitier
I would pay $40K to eat with Xi and take a picture. Seriously, it's worth it.
For $2000 I hope there is a bottle of DOM and some Lobster with garlic sauce
LUL - yup.. inflation is totally under control and our economy is amazingly strong… 😆
Inflation has dropped awhile ago. The predicted recession was avoided for thoses who haven't kept up. Pay checks need to catch up, but the inflation rate is currently okay.
I should have also added - a very large portion of the layoffs will come in other regions where BC doesn’t even operate. Our gov def doesn’t give 2 sh--s about that.
Why do people constantly state that layoffs is a reason this isn’t happening….???? Our gov doesn’t gaf about them. Look at the other large tech companies that let go tens of thousands.
Our country is still suffering from inflation, and the gov has stated this is due to too low unemployment. They actual welcome higher UE rates.

I chuckled as I read this. Hock Tan met his match & this “deal” is not going through for at least these reasons:
- Bad optics with China tech
- Headcount reduction (layoffs).
- Biden showing toughness
- Not enough bribe money
- It would have happened already
