Politics. I cant wait to see how the magazine covers everything in the world of politics in this year. You start here in our home front. Domestic. Member of the trump team, mike pompeo has had a good year. Megan he has had a good year. You pick out people of had good years. You have nikki haley who is the ambassador of the u. N. And you have mike pompeo, who is the director of the cia and those names have been mentioned as a potential successor to rex tillerson. Our secretary of state has not had a good year and we will talk about his departure has cooled, there is a widespread feeling in washington elsewhere that his relationship with the president is not longterm. So mike pompeo has emerged as a personal favorite from the of the president. This matters a lot to the president , how you get along with, who you get access to. How he gets along oneonone.

Who want to pick jobs because it is so much the center of what we talked about on a political basis every day, but it is such a nuanced argument and i feel that a lot of bloomberg feels that so much of the new wants has been stripped away from this argument.

We really want to take an inside look at that from the ground up, whether that is trucking, training former guerrillas in warfare, or the gender wage gap that we see in the u. S. And other countries.
