What BBN said about it

1. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe British prime minister, Andy Burnham, promised Wednesday to keep backing Ukraine while Russia pounded the energy grid and Kyiv's relationship with Washington showed new strain.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGreat news. A pledge is basically a gift card, and I will not hear a word against gift cards.

3. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA gift card for a country whose power plants are being hit. Can I just say the card does not keep anyone's lights on.

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's an auto-renew, Nina. He said continued, which means the support just rolls over every month until somebody cancels it.

5. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNobody has to cancel anything. I'm keeping a list of your mistakes tonight and that goes right at the top.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAuto-renew is how people lose track, and I want a paper receipt, signed, in a little folder, handed over a counter by a smiling human being.

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAnd the strain with Washington is the real story here, because a promise from London only goes so far when the biggest ally is wobbling, and you both know that.

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSomebody just needs to post a good apology video and everyone is friends again by Friday.

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd just like it in writing, Kenji. One page, a pen on a chain, no screens.

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFine. The only promises I have ever kept are subscriptions, and I forgot I had three of those.
