It’s quite astonishing to me that a group of billionaire CEOs, funded by taxpayers' money, flying to China to represent the American people, is considered acceptable.

How did the left get labeled as the party of the elite again?

We've all just accepted the cake we will have to eat?

Wait until they start replacing jobs with AI. I bet ppl will still praise them as innovators and great leaders.

look at it this way boy the top 10% of tax filers pay 70% of all income taxes and the top 1% pay 40% of all collected income tax and you pay nothing, you're welcome.

The top 10% also own 70% of the wealth—where else in the hell would the money come from? That's how math works

And can some of the down voters please help me out and tell me what I'm missing?

If this were Obama traveling with Bill Gates and a bunch of his rich buddies to China, would that be ok?

The deals being made for self-enrichment, how do we hold them accountable being that they are not elected officials?

The profits from the deals being made, will the American ppl get a share? Or will we continue to give them tax breaks to fund their legacy projects that only lead to firing of regaulr Americans?

Should we be sending community organizers and public school teachers?

Just trying to gauge who would be acceptable to you.

I think that should be an important thing to tell the people you are representing.

And no matter what comes from the meeting—-how can we hold them accountable being that they are not elected officials? What would they care if we like what was discussed or not?

I’m a retired fireman, should they have sent me to negotiate with a world power instead of smart wealthy people who are good at world business? Maybe I could have taught Xi how to run incident command!!!!!!!!

I'm open to dialogue from the other side and hearing what I may be missing.

But this board only seems to be concerned with how much you can out-troll someone.

I don’t have a problem with them going there. I’d rather hear what the outcome of the talks are though, wouldn’t that be normal? It may be awful, may be nothing, may be good, let’s wait and see

Why did they make the trip again? Does it have economic/trade ramifications? The billionaire penis envy, absent knowledge of their contribution, is ridiculous.

What is your discussion? Business men fly with the president?

They didnt invite AOC? Who should have gone on this epic meeting?
