Brachari, great job completing the assignment! I was unaware that the recent Government shutdown led to National Parks closing. How interesting and sad. Also, I certainly hope things work out for Elan Musk and his work at Tesla! Big risks can go one of two ways I suppose. He definitely has a high tolerance for risk taking doesn't he? Quite the Entrepreneur. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteBrachari, great job on this assignment really well done with details of every story. I can't believe they shut down national parks because of the government shutting down that is crazy and didn't even know that could happen. The Tesla article is cool showing the CEO will not benefit if the company doesn't do well great incentive to do well there haha.
