His arrangement fuels concerns about conflicts of interest in the Trump administration.
Much like one might fuel solar energy production by flinging a cylinder of hydrogen gas into the fucking sun!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Snorting coke and watching netflix is not 'working' from home.

Rules for thee has always been their game
lol holy fuck if someone had written a book with this plot a few years ago, people would have said “no that’s just not believable - there’s no possible way that could happen”
I would walk out of this shitty movie.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Truth is dumber than fiction.
It's like a conspiracy nuts wet dream
The craziest part is the conspiracy nuts are cheering it on
America is absolutely fucking corrupt to its rotten core.
Corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things
I work from home as an individual contributor, but even I recognize it's not really possible for upper management to work remotely. How can they have dinners with business partners or be as persuasive remotely.
It's all a shell game. Upper management mainly exists to infuence other upper management. "We are talking to thier CXX, so they must be serious about a deal..." kinda crap. A company could have a far superior product, but if they have a less known and influential C-suite, they will lose to other products. In the end it is all about trading favors amongst the elite. If business decisions were just about products, we wouldn't need all these upper management shills.

Upper management works remotely more than anyone else
But some guy isnt providing your house for you in exchange for you to do shady shit for him with the power of your work
Crazy thought:

Good! HE should be allowed to Work From Home but WE shouldn't be able to for Reasons!
