Zach was making a few videos for his company, and Ralph didn’t like the second one, that opened with the same talking head that hosted video number one. Zach, of course, had a vision for the series and was trying to break out of the conservative approach his company typically took.
Ralph started saying two things that didn’t seem logically connected. He kept saying “it’s too long, it’s too long” and “you have to add stock footage at the beginning”.
By his own description, Zach is an emotional guy. He knows this can be both a strength and a weakness, and in this case he worked hard to stay “zen calm” and avoid losing his cool in the face of this torrent of anger and irrationality.
He quietly asked, “How will adding stock footage make the video shorter?”
Ralph blew up. He literally threw his hands up into the air and ran out of the room.
Zach made the videos according to his vision, and Ralph’s input was never used. When he lost his temper, he lost the ability to have a positive impact on that project.
By the way, Zach is a real person. Ralph is, too, but for obvious reasons, I changed his name.
When you get angry, you get stupid. A friend of mine knows a lot of professional fighters (as in martial arts, etc), and they all say the same thing: if you get angry in a fight, you lose.

Biggest single day jump in history.
All because of Joe Biden, no doubt.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidPrices will go up and people will stop spending money. Lack of circulating money will cause a contraction of the economy.
It'll be back.....we will be back in the manufacturing business before long and then it'll go nuts.

We'll see how the next few years go.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidFunny you should mention Friedman, the champion of free trade.

We have heard much these past few years about using the government to protect the consumer. A far more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government.
The immediate occasion for these remarks is the bill that is being considered by the House Ways and Means Committee to impose import quotas on textiles, shoes, and other products. Such a bill will, like present tariffs, raise prices to customers and waste our resources.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidGo nuts because of tariffs? That will win American hearts for sure.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidWe would have to create (again) all the infrastructure necessary to manufacture goods in this country. If I remember correctly, you Republicans were the ones then going around saying "Why have all these factories here if we're gonna just move them overseas to save money by paying the Vietnamese 9 cents a day to make our Nikes?"
It'll be back.....we will be back in the manufacturing business before long and then it'll go nuts.
And now you somehow think building all the infrastructure necessary (again) and paying American workers $25 an hour to make crap goods is gonna save everyone a pile of cash.
Good luck with that.
