From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

I tried during the last all hands but now they do not allow for questions from the audience but only pre-selected questions.
Maybe Mason is preparing to become Trudeau's next Baghdad Bob.
"...thank god Trump isn’t president. If he were, we’d be exchanging nuclear weapons with the Russians by now."
No. Trump was and still is a Putin flunky. He paid Putin a lot of money to get Trump Tower Moscow and was still expecting it all through his presidency. What a tool.

Well Trump is so crazy that he would be a bad flunky he could start a war with Russia thinking that it would help Putin. In any case he is still Putins puppet and no doubt working with Putin right now giving him all those secrets he stole and brought to Florida. I simply cannot believe that the US has 65 millions crazy people who would elect Trump, the scary thought is they are still amongst us know spreading misinformation or believing anything no matter how crazy. If this gets us into ww3 this thread is relevant to to the labs.

We are now inching closer to war maybe even within the next 2-3 days. This is getting scary I have no idea why we have not arrested Trump at this point since he has had access to US secretes and and said the other day that Putin is a genius for his actions. It is clear he is a Russian asset and always was. I bet anything that if he is jailed right now that Putin would think twice about what he is doing.
Stop hyperventilating. There is no US crime that Trump has committed (so far as has been made public) regarding Russia. Trump might be criminally liable for removing classified material to his home in FL, but that would be up to the DOJ to charge him. They probably won't.
Please try to get over yourself. God, what a whiner! Imagine yourself as a Ukrainian citizen right now! "If we have to suspend freedom..."!!! You don't ever, ever, get to take away my freedom. Just try.
