Interesting thread but unfortunately I disagree. We've had those inflection points: Charlottesville, Helsinki, Comey firing. He's always been very unpopular. Little changed.

Public opinion matters less when leverage -- like fair + free elections -- disappears. Protect leverage.

I have said since 2016 that Trump is most likely to lose power through legal means -- indictments for his crimes -- not by change in public opinion. He will not concede even if he loses and he will rewrite laws to protect himself. That's why he always was an extraordinary danger.
That's why it was crucial for Mueller and Comey before him to act early, because Trump consolidates power like a typical kleptocrat. But they didn't.

Best move now is to help Dems take Congress so that investigations can be carried out -- and investigators be protected by law.
Even in this best-case scenario of Dems winning and investigations continuing, there might be no justice, because Trump has now packed courts and purged agencies.

But knowledge is power. The public has the right to know what Trump & co have done. So keep pushing anyway.

https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.


There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.

You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.

But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.

And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.

They find their own way.
