One more: "There is always a Ted Talk."
No. 8: OK, moving on from Socrates, I am going to just do a little grazing among some recent tweets on ethics odds and ends.
Here is a tasty item"
There is an "Afterward."
This is something I want to dig into! Hope these white papers are available for free.
OK, one item I want to open up to folks who are reading along here. A former Trump White House factotum violated the boundary of the Surgeon General of Florida DURING a briefing, TOUCHED him on the shoulder, and kicked him out of a briefing. Hang on for more. a.
OK, here is the video, the violation of the "six foot social distancing" guidelines, and the physical touch.
BOOOO!
BOOOO!
Some additional context from journalist Kevin Cate:
Correction: Additional info from Lawrence Mower.

LAST TOPIC. CALLING ALL ETHICS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS.

The Wednesday night chat would be more hard core @OfficeGovEthics issues, for those with experience in the federal government or private sector who want to dig deeper into this area, looking forward to, hopefully, a RESTORATION of ethical practice in new Administration. 2/3
