Is another billionaire thinking about running for president?
Former New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg retired from public life after leaving office in January 2014. Today, he runs the
Bloomberg Philanthropies, where he works to encourage progress in a wide-range of fields such as the environment, public health, education, and the arts.
The New York Times reported this morning, though, that Bloomberg is
exploring plans to run for president as an independent.
That news is interesting for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that,
in a conversation Bloomberg had with New York Magazine in 2013, he categorically ruled-out running for president in 2016.
No response yet from Bloomberg on his Twitter feed. You can follow Mike Bloomberg on Twitter @MikeBloomberg.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)

It is strange to see that the candidate is using Twitter. Linkedin is a social network for serious business people. See, here are even special services like this. https://linkedinprofilewritingservice.com/about-us/ This is the best proof that Linkedin is the most popular social network for business people in our time.
Agreed. Twitter won't be my first choice as well.
