Meik Wiking of the Tivoli Gardens amusement park
Mr Wiking is another Dane who cites the concept of bosses trusting their employees to do the right thing. He uses the example of staff at the Tivoli Gardens amusement park in Copenhagen, where they follow the three-metre rule.
The idea is that you are CEO of everything within a radius of three metres. "If you see garbage within your three-metre radius you pick it up, and if you see a guest looking for something, you stop and ask them if you can help," says Mr Wiking.

Jack Smith: There was enough evidence to convict Donald Trump
Special counsel Jack Smith says the government had enough evidence to convict Donald Trump if he had not been reelected. The report on Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election was set to go to a jury in Washington if not for the Justice Department’s longstanding policy to not prosecute a sitting president.

Trump blasts ‘incompetent’ officials as wildfires rage on
President-elect Trump slammed officials in charge of handling the raging wildfires in the Los Angeles area, calling them “incompetent.”
“The fires are still raging in L.A.,” Trump wrote on Truth Social early Sunday morning. “The incompetent pols have no idea how to put them out. Thousands of magnificent houses are gone, and many more will soon be lost. There is death all over the place.”

Hitler's, I mean Trump’s talk of expansion puts world leaders on alert
President-elect Trump’s talk of territorial expansion has rattled world leaders at an already precarious time in global politics.
Trump doubled down last week on his suggestions that the U.S. buy Greenland, take control of the Panama Canal and make Canada “the 51st state.” He declined to rule out “military or economic” coercion against either Greenland or the canal, and he said he was open to using “economic force” on America’s neighbor to the north.
I believe Donald Trump
Twelve days into 2025 and I have already broken what amounted to my one and only New Year’s resolution.
I made a vow not to succumb to the easy temptation to write about the madness every time Donald Trump pens an insult-laced tweet or bombastic statement – without, of course, using spell check.
My calculation was that there would be ample opportunity after the US president-elect takes the oath of office later this month to devote time and space to his manic meanderings.

Trump told Republican senators about the onslaught ahead during a private meeting on Capitol Hill. Many of the actions are expected to launch on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, when he takes office.
