Getting your way

Remember when I talked about Amazon and Google, not playing in the sandbox together?

Well, Google Home wants to carry the Amazon Prime Video App for their streaming service. Uh huh. Guess what Amazon said...hmmmm, let me think about it. So Google said, fine, you can have the YouTube app back for your Firestick. So Amazon said, oh ok. Business is so funny sometimes.

We have a mayor that plays like that too. He wanted to build a roundabout at an extremely busy and congested intersection that happened to cover part of the City of Carmel and part of the City of Indianapolis. He told Indianapolis that Carmel would pay for it, 100% and maintain it 100%. But there was this one city council woman in Indianapolis that said, no. She said she wanted a 100% buy in by the surrounding businesses. Well, nothing is going to get a 100% buy in. I don't care how good it is! Anyway, they went back and forth for months and months and months. Finally the mayor said, that's cool, I'm just going to build it 30 feet closer. Now it won't be in Indianapolis at all. So there. I give him a lot of credit for trying to get her on his side. But I really LOVE that he won anyway, without her approval. That was awesome.
