admin

TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)—Calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Ron DeSantis offered his campaign staff the chance to work for free in exchange for what he called “invaluable skills.”

DeSantis denied that he was making the work-for-free offer because his campaign was in financial distress, arguing instead that it was the best way to provide “personal benefits” to his staffers.

“Oh, sure, you could work someplace where they’ll pay you, like Disney World,” he sneered. “But working for me for nothing

Sehr geehrter Herr Staatssekretär,

Wir teilen das Bestreben der Regierung, eine wachsende Unternehmenswirtschaft zu schaffen, die von der digitalen Transformation angetrieben und durch den Zugang zu Kapital über gut funktionierende Aktienmärkte untermauert wird. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, sind unseres Erachtens jedoch weitreichende Änderungen des in einer 40-jährigen Zeitschleife steckenden Gesellschaftsrechts erforderlich.

In den 1980er Jahren verfolgte die Regierung ein konzertiertes Programm zur Förderung der Beteiligung der Bevölkerung am Kapitalismus und der Unternehmenswirtschaft; Menschen wurden ermutigt, Sid von den Vorzügen
