Tribes

Woman: “I like Bernie and he runs a great campaign but I feel like Hillary just knows how to get things done. Who are you looking at for the presidential race?” 

Man: “I’m gonna vote for Trump! He’ll ‘make America great again’ because — because he says so. Besides, he’s really honest, he tells it like it is, and he is really successful.” 

Woman: “We need a divorce…”

In an industry where white males still widely dominate most competition between women and minority candidates, two male professional associates cut through the mid afternoon rush to conduct business at Mayer-Brown LLP in downtown Washington D.C. Mayer-Brown is, however, a major proponent of diversity in the workplace. Candidates are “fairly” evaluated for skill and diverse cultural backgrounds/experiences. It also has business partners scattered all over the globe: Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, São Paulo, Dusseldorf, Brussels, Paris, Mexico City and New York City. The D.C office regularly consults the Executive Office, Supreme Court, and Congress on legal issues such as — international trade and business, intellectual property, environmental law, real estate, finance, government, and information technology. In 2005, Mayer-Brown suffered from public relations damage when one of its elite partners was forced to resign due to fraudulent loans equalling 400 million USD. The scandal, known as “Refco” due to its attachment to Refco Inc. affected companies throughout Wall Street. (1999 K Street N.W Washington D.C.)

Good Fortunes

“I’m all lost at the supermarket…” 

“I can no longer shop happily…” 

“I came in here for that special offer..”

“A guaranteed personality…” 

“And it’s not here…”

“It disappear..”

“I’m all lost.” 

Joe Strummer and Mick Jones, members of The Clash, originally composed these lyrics for the song “Lost in the Supermarket,” released on London Calling in 1979
