Thrive Capital’s Joshua Kushner, who is also the brother to White House advisor and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, signed the letter as well. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Chief executives of 145 companies get one vote each, just like the rest of us. Beyond that, they can blather all they want. But their opinions matter no more than ours do.

Of the ones well known to me, Indo not do business with them

The rest are penny ante companies who won’t be around 5 years from now

Cute trick though.

Finding 50 companies with more than 500 employees to join in the beat down and 100 never going to be anybody’s
