You should have pointed out that her view is self-serving. if you are a hostage negotiator (retired even or whatever), it's natural to argue that we will still negotiate with terrorists. Just like programmers argue about whether we'll still have a job even as ai gets better and better ;-)
- varjag 3y agoShe's now an elementary school teacher so really doubt she has anything to sell.
- KMag 3y agoAs a father of 3, I can tell you elementary school teachers negotiate with terrorists on a daily basis.
- rnk 3y agoBest comment of the year. Maybe she's hoping to be rescued if she can get her old job back without so much conflict ;-)
- artisin 3y agoPerhaps it's time I hang up this old keyboard, rally together a ratpack of seasoned elementary school teachers, and swiftly bring an end to the Global War on Terror.
- Spivak 3y agoI mean "people still keep hiring me, even people who have a policy of not negotiating" is a pretty neutral take.
- guerrilla 3y agoUmm, no. A well-known sales technique is inflating your own demand. There's no way to know whether she's telling the truth or doing that.
- varjag 3y agoInflating what, sorry? Unless you have someone who's been kidnapped you're hardly in the market.
- guerrilla 3y agoYou're mistaking what someone says for the way things actually are. I'm talking about them exaggerating how in demand their own services are. The danger of this is especially acute if they do more than one thing.
- rnk 3y agoI'm a software engineer & a swing dancer. Triple step! Unclear how in demand the combo of these capabilities are, but it's low.
- LeafItAlone 3y agoWell who do you think is kidnapping people? Clearly she has hired kidnappers to be able to drum up business for her negotiating services.
- preciousoo 3y agoId watch this movie
- kbelder 3y agoThis movie and the 'ex-ransom negotiator now teaching 3rd grade' movie.
- preciousoo 3y agoWho do we need to pitch this to
- jstarfish 3y agoEverybody makes exceptions. There's nothing self-serving in pointing out the obvious.
