I know that there had to be some kind of meeting, likely on Zoom, in which her hiring would have been pitched by a person who was excited about the idea to other people who enthusiastically approved the hiring on some rationale. I just can't fathom what could be said to convince people to do stuff that reduces their Market Cap by 20% with one gesture.
I have never been to Business School. Maybe they teach that in an elective that all the executives take because it's easy and doesn't require essays.

“She ticks all the boxes, guys! She was one of the organizers of the 2017 anti-Trump women’s march, she’s a Woman of Color, she’s Moslem, a BLM organizer, on one of President Biden’s advisory committees, Trump hates her, she’s Palestinian, and she wears that funny headscarf!”
What are you talking about? GEICO is privately held. Its one of the jewels in the crown for Berkshire Hathaway, and Warren Buffett's best investment ever, extremely well-managed. Buffett invested $47m originally in GEICO and his stake returned over 40-fold, to $2b, within a decade.
Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, on Wednesday announced that buses would be sent to the Rio Grande Valley to allow migrants to travel to Washington DC
On Friday he told Fox News that his team had received multiple calls from communities in the area requesting buses for the volunteer migrants
Abbott said that, because Joe Biden was refusing to come to the border, he would 'take the border to him'
Abbott added: 'it's not like they want to stay in the Rio Grande Valley,' and insisted those who went did so voluntarily

Abbott does a lot of Kabuki stuff. Hopefully he runs this better than the Afghan evac was run.

Also it would be good to provide them with catered food from KFC on the trip in case any of them are internal fentanyl mules. No way that there packages make it past the Mississippi under those circumstances.

Drop the little girls off at Biden's beach house at midnight, and whisper in Joe's ear that fresh talent will be ready and waiting for his midnight skinny dip

Got to thinking...
When caught in TX, Biden could just instruct Ice/DOJ to load them on a FED/ICE plane and send them say to Ga, Al, Ms, or another state before TX gets hands on them.
A senior Iraqi military officer on Friday attributed the alarming spike of abductions in the "hotspots" between Diyala and Saladin to the shrinking financial resources of the militants sheltering in the volatile territory.
Spokesperson to the northern axis of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces-PMF) Command, Ali Hashem al-Husayni, said that the extremist militants have been asking for ransoms from the families of the abductees to commensurate for the declining financial influx.
Al-Husayni cited the abduction of five shepherds in an open area between the governorates of Saladin and Diyala near the Haleiwa airport, calling for bolstering the cooperation between the security authorities of both governorates to tighten the control over the gaps and eradicate the terrorist shells sheltering there.
The PMF commander adduced reports about the infiltration of ISIS militants into the families being repatriated from displacement camps. "This might be a major catalyst for ISIS resurgence. It helps facilitate their action by providing information and intelligence," he said.

I hadn't thought of possible impact of Bidens plan to collapse the world economy on terrorist enterprises. Maybe Ali called Dave Ramsey and he recommended either doing night pizza delivery or kidnapping shepherds. Maybe they'll do both. to accelerate their financial recovery.

Doesn't say much for your organization when kidnapping shepherds is a major part of your funding.
The mounting pressure exerted on ISIS terrorist groups sheltering in enclaves on the outskirts of Diyala, Saladin, and Kirkuk, has incited administrative disputes inside these groups, a senior Peshmerga officer revealed on Friday.
The Deputy Commander of the Peshmerga's 2nd axis (Qara Tappa-Hemrin), Major-General Muhammad Rustom, told Shafaq News Agency, "the members of the terrorist groups engaged in conflicts over leadership inside the so-called 'Wilayas' (Provinces), following the beating the remnants of the terrorist organization have been getting at the Peshmerga axes."
"The Peshmerga have been tracking the heatmap of ISIS inside its jurisdiction: the peril of ISIS has been limited to small groups and even individuals."
"We have not registered abductions inside our territory," the Peshmerga commander said, "the terrorist group attempted to depict a dispute between Arab and Kurd shepherds over the frontiers of Kurdistan-Saladin as a proof of their activity there."

ISIS plans to launch a "Ghazwa (a war guided by faith)" on areas in the center and east of Baghdad in the holy month of Ramadan. A security source told Shafaq News Agency.

The terrorist organization intends to send suicide bombers wearing explosive belts or a car bomb from Saladin to Baghdad.

[israelTimes] Move comes just weeks after Tehran said it set up another site for producing centrifuges in Isfahan, where UN watchdog doesn’t have access to data collected by its cameras.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... has shifted all the centrifuge production equipment from a nuclear site allegedly targeted by Israel to the underground Natanz facility, according to a Wednesday report.
Citing a statement from ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency, Rooters said the move came just six weeks after Tehran had established another site at Isfahan equipped with the machines required to produce centrifuges.
In February, Iran informed the UN nuclear watchdog it had stopped production at the Karaj workshop after the site was allegedly struck last June in an Israeli "sabotage" operation.
Tehran initially refused to allow IAEA inspectors into the site to replace the cameras damaged in the alleged attack, but in December struck an agreement with the watchdog and new cameras were installed.
Weeks later, however, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said the agency was informed by Tehran of its intention "to produce centrifuge rotor tubes and bellows at a new location in Isfahan."
Grossi noted the IAEA "could adjust its surveillance and monitoring measures accordingly."
"A few days later, Agency inspectors applied seals on all the relevant machines in the Karaj workshop, placed them under containment and then removed the surveillance cameras installed there," he said at the time.
And on January 24, IAEA inspectors set up cameras at a site in Isfahan "to ensure the machines intended for the production of centrifuge rotor tubes and bellows were under monitoring," the UN watchdog said.
But the IAEA does not currently have access to the data collected by its cameras at the new Isfahan workshop under the agreement with Tehran, and not much is known about the site in Isfahan.
"Without access to the data and recordings collected by these cameras, the agency is unable to confirm whether the production of centrifuge components at the workshop in Isfahan has begun," the report sent out Wednesday to IAEA member states said.
Last April, the Natanz nuclear facility experienced a mysterious blackout that damaged some of its centrifuges. In 2020, unexplained fires struck the advanced centrifuge assembly plant at the site, which authorities later described as sabotage. Iran has said it was rebuilding the facility deep inside a nearby mountain.
[Rudaw] Around 450 Iraqi families with affiliation to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) have been transferred out of al-Hol camp in northeast Syria, an Iraqi official told Rudaw on Friday, adding that the transferred families will need to go through rehabilitation programs before they’re sent back to their original places of residence in the country.
"The number of families that have been transferred from the al-Hol camp is around 450. Around 8,000 families numbering 31,000 individuals remain in al-Hol camp," the spokesperson of Iraq’s ministry of migration and displaced, Ali Abbas, told Rudaw on Friday.
Iraqis have made up more than half of the population of the notorious al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava) for years, most of them wives and children of suspected ISIS fighters, more than half of whom are under the age of 18. In January, the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) put the population of the camp at 56,000.
Abbas added that the families would first be transferred to al-Jada camp in Nineveh province where they would be subjected to rehabilitation programs, before being sent back to their original places of residence. The families are returned on the basis of bails from relatives and tribal elders.
Mainly under federal Iraqi control, al-Jada houses families with suspected links to ISIS. Last December, Iraqi authorities announced their intention to close the camp, but have faced difficulties in this so far.
The programs, conducted by the camp’s directorate and in coordination with international organizations, are mainly aimed at children, women, and the elderly. Nonetheless, all the individuals in the camp must pass a variety of health, social, and psychological rehabilitation programs in order to be sent home, according to Abbas.
Two orphaned British children were returned to the UK from camps in northeast Syria, Save the Children said on Wednesday.
