> Everyone who's left: ... Could you please disambiguate that? I am confused. Does it mean "Everyone who is left" or "Everyone who has left"? Thanks! Edit: For anyone who wonders what the heck I was talking about, the parent comment originally said "Everyone who's left" - and I honestly was not sure which it meant. That comment has now been edited to read "Everyone who has left", so I am grateful for the clarification. I would delete this comment since it's now moot, but since a couple of people were kind enough to reply, deleting it now would probably make things even more confusing. :-)

  Everyone who has left

  The first para is those that are left, hence the latter is those that have left.

    We goin' way into grammar land now, but not necessarily - you can repeat the same initial clause like that for emphasis: Everyone who is left is xyz. Everyone who is left is abc. Everyone who is left is (insert usually more dramatic thing than xyz or abc).

It seems there are two separate Trump councils: * Manufacturing council: http://uk.businessinsider.com/trump-manufacturing-council-whos-still-in-2017-8?r=US&IR=T http://uk.businessinsider.com/trump-manufacturing-council-wh... * Business advisory council: http://uk.businessinsider.com/who-is-on-trump-business-advisory-council-2017-2?r=US&IR=T/#stephen-schwarzman-cofounder-chairman-and-ceo-of-blackstone-1 http://uk.businessinsider.com/who-is-on-trump-business-advis... (older article) Pepsi, Walmart, IBM and others are on the later. Also, it seems some companies have left quietly, where the individual has left the company and the company has not appointed a new person.

Are you enumerating list of CEO's who remain and list of those who have left to.. galvanize some sort of boycotting action? In that case, what about the elephant in the room who had a very considerable part in putting this dude in the white house -- Thiel?
- PakG1 9y ago
  I suspect that you're getting downvoted for saying something that may not have a lot of credibility. Thiel doesn't carry a lot of responsibility for putting Trump into office. To say so overestimates the pull he, an openly gay man, had with Trump's base. I bet most of Trump's base don't even know who Thiel is. Thiel was simply one of the only Silicon Valley guys to recognize that the prosperity experienced by major American urban centers was not being experienced by the rest of America.

    From what I've seen of t_d, a lot of the people there were not openly anti-gay before the election. There has been quite a bit of pruning since so I am not sure about now.

He was rich enough to not get hurt for opening his mouth in a way that made it clear that on certain issues he takes the same side as people the majority in CA consider to be a bunch of hicks. There's plenty of people in SV (or NYC, or DC for that matter) who come from less prosperous places. They'll just keep quit rather than let people know what their opinions are because that's how you get ahead when your opinions are not those of the majority.

    I dunno if Thiel has sway or not, but I thought his short speech at the rnc was riveting and one of the most inspirational messages that really spoke to the time, and of course aimed to reposition the right as pro gay.

  Not really. He didn't refer to them as white supremacists, and was far too moderate in condemning the violence that happened on behalf of the neo-Nazi protestors, referring to "violence on all sides". For a person who slammed the media and Obama for not "calling a spade a spade" on radial Islamic terrorism, it's quite hypocritical to then not "call a spade a spade" on white supremacist terrorism. To be clear, the left has acted violently as well in the past (just look at the Berkley riots), but in this context "violence on all sides" sounds as though the violence was not entirely initiated by one side. But for all accounts, that's exactly what happened. Counter-protestors weren't the ones to drive a car into a crowd. Some people argue that the protestors having permits somehow excuses the fact that they attacked counter-protestors, but that doesn't make sense unless the violence was initiated by the counter-protestors (which there doesn't appear to be evidence for, and there is plenty of evidence to the contrary).
