A question that just sprang to mind: Has anybody heard anything about how Trump's plans for his library are coming along? We're about 26 months out now...

5/x Suggestions: 1 Create a lane for non-valet parkers. 2 Post signs telling people where to go when they park. 3 Create a lane for non-valet folks to exit 4 Post signs explaining how to find the entrance to the hospital. 5 Ask attendants to be kind and helpful to visitors.

4/x For the most part, the parking attendants did not seem to consider being helpful or polite to be part of their job definition. One who was helpful let me in on a "secret" that the previous one I spoke was "is lazy and doesn't like his job."

3/x There was a large staff of parking attendants. At one point I say about 10 yellow parking vests, mostly worn by people standing around, in my frame of vision.

Figuring out how to get out of the lot was about as hard as finding the exit for a Las Vegas casino. And once I did, I had to go back into the valet line. 2/x

. Excellent visit to but getting inside was not easy. Parking took about as long as 3 check-ins (inc. one on a touchscreen), consultation and examination. Locating hospital entrance was not easy for me or another wandering visitor. 1/x

With zero commitment to electrify its full fleet and only one EV on the market, it’s the least exciting time of the year at Toyota.

My colleagues at are out with a very clever ad pushing Toyota to get going on EVs. Elon going bonkers is a great opportunity for Toyota to carpe diem already.

Big Tech’s inside game: lobbying, contributions, and connections. Amazon hired 20 (!) lobbyists that worked for the Judiciary Committee or its members to lobby against AICOA. As Carlin once said, “It's a big club and you ain’t in it.”

I want to have this conversation (on a platform owned by a billionaire, irony not lost on me) with comms and journo friends: What are we doing to counter the layoffs, venture fund buyouts, and subsequent lack of bandwidth to inform people about critical issues through the media?

🧵 With winter coming, Americans justifiably worry about how much we will pay to heat our homes.
My new report shows how the U.S. fossil fuel industry is making the problem worse by sending fuel overseas.

We've had three presidents and dozens of financial scandals since Congress ordered reforms to incentive-based pay for bankers. It's time to put these rules into action.

The report discusses a PE firm (rebranded as "family office") called Portopiccolo that has gobbled up 130+ nursing homes, many during the pandemic. Last week, at the New Yorker profiled one facility after Portopiccolo took over. It went straight downhill. 5/x

But, if various nursing homes are essentially owned by the same PE firm but, instead, report being owned by an alphabet soup of LLCs but leave out the PE firm at the top of the pyramid, the public and regulators are left unaware of these connections. 4/x
