I fly United. A lot. I love United. (Really. App, website, service, etc. - 10/10, big fan.) Except for their inflight wifi, which was designed by someone who I can only imagine is compensated for how many minutes per login session fliers spend waiting to complete the 97 step login/purchase flow.

Even if you don’t believe in the ethic of “love thy neighbor,” it’s important to remember that the core goal of USAID is to use soft power (foreign aid) to complement our nation’s hard power (the U.S. military) in a shared effort to make America safer. 🧵 8/8
