Yeah, “well, there were other meetings going on which had to end first” and “there was absolutely no wait time at all”…

I think I can discern what he meant but couldn’t articulate, but if we have to interpret what a more capable person would have said any time the president speaks…

But since we do have to interpret what he must have meant, my interpretation is that he was trying to say “there was reasonable justification for the wait time, it wasn’t artificially increased as a power-play”. Though a counter argument would be, that is exactly how a power play of artificially increasing wait times is accomplished. Instead of scheduling stuff so that people will be met with at a reasonable time given their circumstances, things are shuffled around to make the person unsure when they are supposed to go in. Enough so that they can’t leave cuz it could be any minute, but long enough that they should feel slighted. 2 hours would be a pretty ridiculous slight. Making someone spend 8 hours in your lobby without leaving is overkill. That means the whole time they kept assuring him it would be soon. At no point did they give him any heads up that he could maybe safely go to lunch or dinner or whatever since it wasn’t gonna be “that” soon.

For these meetings, it is generally considered a normal level of respect for the meeting to occur within an hour of the plane landing. Especially for someone who should be incredibly busy and scheduled to have other meetings in other countries that same day.

8 hours is fully, literally, toying with him. 100% showing how little they respect him and who he represents. 3 or 4 hours would have accomplished a complete and utter embarrassment… they wanted to set a record, just for fun.

Some of the letters are printed in colors almost as scary as the colors of a rainbow. That’s the only “offensive to idiots” thing I can possibly come up with.

Hehe, sorry. But yeah, it is unfortunately everywhere.

Man, we need a compression algorithm not designed primarily for human faces, so it compromises in some other way than red being half the resolution of all the other colors.

And also, in the mean time, broadcasting companies that broadcast compressed streams of video, like pretty much every single one of them now, should stop having all-red logos… like, what is the one color that is broken on all our stuff? Ok, let’s use that one to show how awesome we are… make sure there are lots of tiny details that would benefit from enhanced sharpness in our red logo too…
