7. Interesting idea
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 11:46 PM by chookie
Google is one of the fantastic internet success stories. Funny how we had a major decimation of the dot.com industries and loss of tech jobs just as the Bush administration took office.(Remember how many Republicans and freepers were blissed out that internet yuppies had been humbled?) The same people do not WANT Google to be successful nor do they WANT Google to be powerful. Work is supposed to be painful, right? ABC News Tonight did a story about Google which showed what an anarchic place it is to work -- bring your pets, play volleyball, free meals, get massages and haircuts at work -- and The Man wants to shut that bullshit down, and bring us back to humble slaves barely scraping by, fearful of losing their jobs and willing to kill themselves and sacrifice their personal happiness for their CEO's personal happiness....

Google's informal motto is "Do No Evil" -- whew is that ever opposite of "preferred" companies like Halliburton and Lockheed....!

And betcha -- if Google outsourced more, they would not be a target. The gov't is trying to break Google....
