The Art of the Deal

The Washington Post, 9 April 2020, page A19,
”U. S. to Pay GM $490 million for 30,000 Ventilators.”

So the World’s Greatest Negotiator was able to get the price down to $16,333.33 apiece???

My grand-niece Courtney could’ve gotten them delivered to your door for $16,000, with an extra SUP board thrown in for her.

And if niece Janie led the negotiation, the price would’ve been $12,000 with individualized paint jobs to order.

And Jennifer would have gotten the ventilators donated for free, as long as they had a Cadillac hood ornament.

The guy’s a piker.
