The One-Minute Meeting

Somebody, we don’t know who, posted a tweet Thursday that raised hopes that one of the world's biggest drug companies, Eli Lilly, was about to make insulin free. It turned out to be a lie/fake that played off of protests over insulin prices and Twitter’s new for-pay verification checkmarks.

The third largest railroad workers union agreed to a brief cooling off period, which delays a possible national rail strike until Dec. 9 at the earliest. Shippers nationwide are frightened about what a national rail strike could do to the economy and are pleading with all sides and the Biden administration to prevent it.

Airline passengers have flooded the FAA with complaints about shrinking airline seats. The FAA opened its website to comments about seating and 26,000 comments poured in.
* 200 people used the word “torture” ([link removed]) to describe what it is like to fly these days.
* 4,397 people used the word “uncomfortable.” ([link removed])
* 515 comments talked about feeling “jammed.”
* 182 described how they felt stuffed in their seat.

How do we choose the Speaker of the House? Maybe the balance of power for the U.S. House will be settled over the weekend, but in the meantime, let’s take a moment to remind ourselves how the leader of the House is chosen. It may surprise you to know that the Constitution does not require the Speaker to be a member of Congress. It could even be you. Maybe it should be. I will take you on a romp through Article I, Section II of the U.S. Constitution, which is always great Friday fun.
