#2 People are most conservative about those things they know the most about. Socialism is about using other peoples money and resources.

#3 So basically she hijacked her employer's product to send a political message that suited her point of view. Sounds like a fireable offense. I'm no gurgle fan (I sure don't use chrome) but maybe if they act like a capitalist operation they can come around in other ways too.

#4 Of course Google (who imitates academia) is against capitalism - their mindset favors slavery.

#5 Not capitalists. They're market manipulators who've been allowed, thanks to all the baksheesh they've spread in Washington-Babylon, to skirt the antimonopoly and competition laws and create a two-sided market in which they not only dominate both sides but also run an opaque auction whose results they refuse to disclose to other participants.

It's as if we allowed one investment house to dominate both the buy-and sell-side trading AND own & operate NASDAQ and the NYSE ... and create its own monopoly trading platform in which the other traders are never allowed to see a bid/ask spread.

All of this blatantly anticompetitive activity has been going on for more than 15 years!

We are living through the most corrup period in our history since the days of Jay Gould and Rockefeller.

Shame on our corrupt, mendacious, stupid lawmakers.
Shame on us for allowing this to happen.

#6 I am curious what the demands of the Google Union would be. More thought control? Hundreds of additional bathrooms to cover every pronoun? All non-vegan food removed from vending machines?
