In response to "In the day of laptops and blackberries, the idea that a CEO waiting for a flight can't do anything is baffling. (nm)" by musubi

You assume they know how to use all the latest tech and not just their assistants. -- nm

If my girlfriend's 90 year old grandmother can send emails, every CEO on the planet should be capable of it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:24 8
- Forward this e-mail to 20 people or you will have bad luck. -- nm - Bery's grandmother Nov 19, 15:28 6
  - My grandmothers are dead, jackass. - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:29 5
    - Then you've got a pretty talented grandmother. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 15:29 4
      - you missed the part where I said "my GF's grandmother" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:30 3
        
        No, I got that part. It just didn't play well with test audiences. "Why is his GF's grandma sending him e-mails?" they asked. - Mop Nov 19, 15:33 1
        
        *snicker* You work for FOX, don't you? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:35
        
        He was probably just in shock and couldn't believe you have a GF so ignored that part. - Cuzzin Toddfurky Nov 19, 15:32

Indeed quite the assumption on my part. - musubi Nov 19, 15:24
I don't think you know what you are arguing for anymore -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 15:24 7
- I never said the automotive leadership was bright. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 15:25 6
  - so you want to give a bunch of idiots a massive bailout from our tax money? -- nm - Guy Nov 19, 16:39
  - ... great! So how about you fill in a special box on your income tax form that says "yes, I agree to give a portion of my taxes to the auto industry"? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:26 4
    - I would prefer they make different arrangements than a flat handout. I'll also admit I'm biased being based in automotive central. - VMan Nov 19, 15:29 3
      - Oh, I don't want them to fail. I just want them to reorganize. And I agree with Will (I think) that unions are part of the problem. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:31 2
        
        This is why the plane thing is not a big deal. They should have been discussing restructuring and financing issues not scoring cheap points. - VMan Nov 19, 15:36 1
        
        But like I said, it appears to be a symptom of a systemic issue, a recurring reason NOT to bail them out. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 15:37
