@JWurzak When your hotel guests work for state/federal/local government, do you say the government is “showering your hotel with aid”? If not, you probably shouldn’t say that about government agencies buying subscriptions. That’s not and, it’s commerce.

@mcmonaghan @KDimitratos You mean BloombergTerminal is that, and the correct analogy is Politico Pro, which is what was purchased by USAID
Just FYI: Politico Pro does not = Politico the news website you guys read. Politico Pro is a collection of trade publications + also a dashboard used to track legislation, lobbying, elections, etc. It is very valuable, which is why Politico was bought for $1 billion.

@PitoxZomambo @janusbasnov @mackflaccoraven @Andy_Bloch @RealKidPoker Your politico is not politico pro. It’s like the difference between Bloomberg and Bloomberg terminal.
