So many have battled external enemies for our freedom. Fought and died for freedom. Yet, despite the fact that the majority of people agree that the average polititian is pretty much pond scum, we still allow them to take our freedom without even a whimper. What all outside fources have failed to do we do to ourselves. God help us all...
Not in my experience... The last three companies I've been with have either gone under or been bought and sold off (yes, it sucks to be ME!!) and the CEO took no blame at all in any case. In fact every one of them moved on to similar or better positions at similar or larger companies. Primarily because they were gone before disaster set in.
In my opinion that's why you see so many 4 year CEO's now. They come in, raise the stock price by any means necessary (layoffs, cut backs, no overtime pay but no schedule cuts, cut everything to the bone), and skedaddle before the chickens come home to roost. You can bring about short term gains in market price pretty easily if you don't care about the long term viability of the company and that seems to be the game I've seen several times. Not always the case of course but it's not uncommon.
My personal view is that CEO's should have more liability in their contracts concerning the long term viability of the company's they run. But, of course, boards of directors are usually made up of CEO's from other companies and they don't want that liability on them so they're not likely to ask for it on anyone else....
Oh yeah, it's certainly the Israeli's that are to blame here. No question about it. Those Jew bastards... It's like those damnable women that dress up and walk around without their veils. Man! They are just ASKING for it. IMO they're LUCKY if they just get raped. Just like those stinking Jew dogs they deserve to die!

Actually it's just Vlad the impotent laying the ground work to start the cold war all over again. Just in time for him to ride to the rescue......jooost vait and ze comrade...
I love that they lead with environmentalism (also known as chicken little syndrome) and nuclear power plants (hahahahahahaha, yeah, those will kill us with all that cheap, clean abundant electrical power) as opposed to an unstable middle east and a moron in the White House whose partying his way through Iran becoming one of the biggest threats to peace the world has ever known.
I guess I can safely throw them on the pile with the Nobel price and the MSM (0% credibility)
I notice you didn't mention that she's a Democrat just doing what Democrats do. Of course, had she been a Republican I'm sure that would have been in the LARGE BOLD PRINT at the top of the story...
Hardy har har. You want more freedom? Get rid of the liberals. It's that simple.
"Wonder why?"
Because MS depends on their customers to tell them what they want. At the same time they are profit focused. The combination of those two things means that a lot of otherwise cool products never see the light of day. This isn't the fault of MS engineering (which does a pretty good job) it's the fault of their management, leadership and Little Stevie Balmer for whom profit is KING (rather than product).
Not pushing Apple cause they have their own issues but they used the reverse process to great success. Let the creative people (engineers+) come up with the products (Tell the customer what they want). Winnow the list to two or three things. Focus on making them really well and really cool, sell them as cheaply as possible, and the profit will follow (obviously with some discipline about spending). If a companies primary mission is to make as much money as possible they are doomed to fail because the product will suck. Apple Vs Microsoft is the clear proof. Most valuable company in the world Vs a bunch of rich people with a lot of mediocre technology.
Management sucks! Do you want to suck too? There's nothing more useless than an IT/Dev manager. You're going from a skilled job to something a Banobo can do. And there are a LOT of Banobos out there!

I didn't miss anything dipshit. I didn't say get rid of Democrats, i said get rid of liberals. Issa fits there too. Or were you aware of that?

will hire them!! After all, it's just a lot of misspelled words with way too much punctuation. How hard can it be?
