MOUs And What The Heck Are They? For Once, I Do Agree With Donald The Twitter Duck!

People may be laughing at Donald the Twitter Duck on his so-called ignorance of what constitutes a MOU (a memorandum of understanding)

But for once, I think the Duck is smarter than his adviser hahaha....

I must agree though, that the Duck proving to be wiser is a rare score!

The mere fact that a document that is supposed to be considered sacrosanct is termed a 'memorandum of understanding' (and not a contract or formal agreement) tells you that you can't take it seriously. It is just a memorandum (a record, so to speak) of what is supposed to be understood between two or more parties.

But we all know that what you understand about something and what the other fellow or fellows understand about that something often don't match.

For an enforceable contract, the main thing is that parties must understand EXACTLY what they each understand about that thing or things they are supposed to be undertaking between them. Congruence is crux here.

MOUs are just so blase they are a convenient means to fool parties and nations into a false sense of achievement for nothing really.

Parties and nations sign MOUs so flippantly nowadays they are not worth the papers the terms of so-called understanding are written on.

After signing MOUs, you can throw them into the wastepaper basket and nobody can do a thing about it! You can pretend MOUs are solemn documents but that is all about it.

Haha.. For once, the Duck triumphed!

So rare, but it has happened!

OMG!
