Thank you so much for making these talks available to the public. I am applying to the business school for fall 2023 and hope to attend in-person in the future.

“Chair of the high speed rail commission” - look I wouldn’t want that on my resume, honestly.

Yeah really should skip over that one and just take the gap years

The reality is that the people that sit around and discuss this are so disconnected from the realities of collective bargaining. Its easy to cite the law and say should do this or should not do that. You need to come out of your ivory towers.
