Ed was probably busy chillin' with Megan Rapinoe getting some content for this week's "Ask Ed" 😁

Him not being there was a form of protest IMO.

Ya, maybe he was somewhere else taking other shots that have a higher probability of success. The president himself even said they needed to go through other channels. Iran is heating up again and we need to keep our base in Qatar (who also just bought a bunch of 777s), maybe he saw the writing on the wall. Then again, maybe he was Tesla shopping. Either way, I think we all know him being there wasn't going to change a thing. But I guess, optics...

Do you really pen your own letters, or simply click a few links, find your district in a drop down and fire off the same old form letter that everyone else is sending? Good on you if you did.

Oh, and those 777s are guaranteed by the US taxpayer... keep that in mind too
And lastly.. optics are important in the shallow pool of DC

I think Ed's actions since he became CEO have showed he is no fan of the Republican party or Trump. I bet he is not complaining about the booming economy though.

Agreed on both counts. I just don't believe that this afternoon chat with the President would have changed a thing.

So it would be better to just keep beating your head against the wall so it LOOKS like you're doing something? But maybe you're right...if there is one thing I've learned from the actions of senior military leaders, if you can't do something worthwhile, do something visible.
Apparently you did, or you just enjoyed wasting your time by sending them in in the past.

Do as I say, not as I do.
