Right … it’s officially official.
I’ve asked a few local shops to put up the poster, advertising a laptop for sale.
I owe them — Barry at the Emporium, Connie at the Flying Fish, the Pharmchoice gang and Daniel’s Barbers — a thank you, if nothing else.
Hopefully, that may — may — help.
As the Facebook Marketplace ad doesn’t seem to have picked up anything other than the odd click.
Not even the odd scammer!
Heigh ho!

What was one thing and another … ?
The US President is having trouble.
As various US Courts have ruled against his tariff regime: leaving the things in various states of suspension.
From what I’ve understood?
The rulings hinge on the president overstepping his authority: as some of the tariff raising powers are reserved for the US Congress.
It’s how the US system works, if I’ve got it right: these jobs are done by Congress, those by the Courts, others only by the president.
How much executive authority does a corporate Chief Executive Officer have?
How much can he do in his day-to-day job of running a US company?
I don’t know.
But it struck me, yesterday, that — with the executive orders that he’s issuing — the President is treating his job as if it’s a corporate Chief Executive position: not as a political office, where there’s a different balance of powers.
We’ll have to see …
