Can it be a sensible act of congress? Perhaps they will even revive ethics in business, a move in the right direction... can it be?

...... So how exactly is it a "me too" service?
You're right. They should call it suck my Ballmer drive.
They are bought and paid for.
Its our bandwidth and they're selling it off to their corporate cronies.
Where's the outrage, America ?
10 GOTO 20
20 GOTO 10
Screw the employee, pay the shareholders.
After they fire you they'll raid your savings and 401k, sink your mortgage under water, and let you go without viable medical options.
Profit for few at the expense of many. That the corporate way.
Time to eat the rich and banish k street.
Yeah, they're a bunch of i Phonies and one-trick i Ponies
So we're not exactly comparing apples to apples here
I see what you did there.
With your i-eye ?
Truly you have achieved the best government that money can buy...
You mean like GM makes the best car money can buy?
The sad thing is we pay top dollar even though we buy substandard value, hardly worth the price. I mean why be the richest guy on the block if you only wanna drive a Cadillac? Talk about low standards. Casting pearls before swine, or putting lipstick on pigs seems to be the extent of benefit we receive as a society from all our surplus wealth .
Whats the point of being the richest nation on earth if it fails to enrich the vast majority of its citizens? What else was the point of this nation's inception? We already had inequality to begin with, and certainly don't require a political process or economy to maintain that disparity.
....that still doesn't make it a democracy.
As long as our "representational" government is hijacked to represent the majority of dollars instead of people and of free speech, then we've completely strayed away from any sort of democracy at all. I don't know what you call it, but it ain't democracy.
Clearly our voices no longer equate to a level democratic process. Though we may be born equal, our influence under the law extends with our wealth, regardless of its source or of the massive disparity among the citizens.
Whats the point of voting in an auction that always goes to the highest bidder? Nostalgia or denial? We might as well still have royalty because it sure works like a nobility.
Or Nook 451?
Hello *sniff * sniff * my name is Larry.
Here's my business turd.
Sniff me up sometime.
Meanwhile, between howls, I'll be off on the prairie spit shining my junk.
**aahhhooooowwwwww**
absolutely no cred...
How is it this half billion dollars is well spent ? Only if the "downside" possibility is worth the money spent. So I wonder how it is that Microsoft and HP and Google and Facebook remain profitable with all of the money they toss around on dead ends. After a while it all looks like good old fashioned money laundering, masquerading as investment....
You are right. There is a fundamental dishonesty and up-selling of this story which in every iteration on the wire conveys an impression of continuous flight. In fact, the link on Google's home page led me to detail that seemed that way. So what is it with the media, press, and politics these days that insists on perpetually bending the truth and making false claims?
