HAHAHA HAHA HA!

Guy from GM - one of the most heavily subsidized corporations in the HISTORY of CAPITALISM has something to say about building a business and a "brand"?

Donald Trump has good advice on how to be born rich, and pretend you are a financial wizard, too.

Not even close.
Ever heard of The East India Trading Company?
they make our "defense" contractors look like a fucking kickstarter indi startup. Just go look at the wikipedia list for English Crown Chartered Companies.

Apple actually has a fantastic reputation for respecting user privacy. They don't collect/try to profit off of user data.

Really???

The only reason the world tolerates the Middle East crazies is cuz of the oil.

The Russians are also proving they can be crazy as well.

Oil production seems to do that to countries. Did I mention the US Is the second largest producer of oil in the world.

That's how the Kryptonians ended up in deep shit.

Besides with as many kryptonian survived to fight superman every few days you would think the could just settle and terraform there own planet like Mars of Venus instead of trying to take earth.

I have seen perfectly sober drivers go the wrong way on a roundabout.

I have never seen this. Ever, not even with blind drunk drivers. Not even with the ditziest of SUV drivers and Australia has a hell of a lot more roundabouts than the US.

and that is exactly why you have never seen it because people encounter them more and thus learn to use them in US they are rare enough that people don't learn to use them properly.

...because Windows is such a well loved brand!

What will consumers think of when they get to the cellphone store. Do you want the phone made by Apple (immediately associated with status) Google (the guys that make the internets in the mind of joe sixpack) or Windows (immediately think of the blue-screen or "this program has just performed an illegal operation dialog [translated you just lost three hours of work on the project the boss wants dialog]").

Which is the consumer going to pick social status symbol, gift of the internet gods, or the product associated with frustration and fail?
