I have yet to see one of these things held via telepresence.

I guess the 18 month thing means environmentalists are going to try to make the election a referendum on Climate Change.  (.....at least I hope they do)

Yeah, I posted the below a week ago in another thread

Now it's 18 months to the end of the world.
Hmmmm, the election is in 18 months, what a coincidence!

Now that was sneakily hilarious.  Took me a full minute, but I hadn't had my coffee yet.

Or at least you would think he would be buying property in Northern Canada.  Maybe ocean front.

It used to irritate the hell out of me at work. The same upper management that would be annoyingly nagging with the "going green" crap would somehow always end up having meetings in Honolulu or somewhere, when we had perfectly acceptable telepresence equipment. In fact they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on that equipment, but then always had some excuse for everyone flying somewhere for face to face meetings.

Makes you wish someone would arrange a Fyre Festival type of experience for these obnoxious mooks.

I was thinking of a Stinger party on the island, but that would probably hurt innocent people.

You know if we could get these people to stop talking so much that would probably lower the CO2 level enough to save the planet.

Well,  yes, but I was coming at it from the angle of a Tippy-Top Seekrit Meeting  of cyberpoobahs and other muckey-mucks being held via the impossible-to-secure internet.

But your angle works, too.
