    Actually, I am not outraged because they offer a choice. Yes or no. I choose no.

    The point of saying this is there is no faith in the system.

    The thing that caused the latest world recession has yet to be fixed.

    So two things must be done. The government must create laws that prevent what caused the recession and the banks, Wall Street, and the government must restore our faith and provide protections against our retirement being destroyed through investment firms that like to play games with peoples money.

    You either work within the system or start a new one.

    I see your point about Freddie and Fanny, government backing allows people to go to college, which means more educated people and more higher paying jobs. Of course this leaves a lull in the service industry, because those that went to college cant afford to work for minimum wage while paying off college loans.
    Good intentions, and an attempt to level the playing field has yielded an educated country promised the dream only to be slapped in the face.

    As for what is going on now as well as your points:

    Did the government have a hand in it? Yes.
    Has the government attempted to rectify this? No.
    Have corporations done wrong? yes
    Do they plan on changing? No
    In which case can the common citizen ask for, or attempt change? Government or Corporations? Government... of course.

    You see, history has shown that the rich will continue to deprive, deprave, and destroy the common person and when the common person gets tired of it and rises up... the rich just move.
    So we must rely on the government to balance the rich attempts to rape our resources, our country, and our common person for their profits and then leave vs the common persons need to survive.

    This isnt about Assange and his glory seeking attempts.

    This is about our parents, our grandparents, and our future. Our grandparents and parents because their retirement disappeared when bankers toying with other peoples money failed.

    Us because, as it stands now...we have no guaranteed retirement plan. At any time any idiot can do the exact same thing and take away our retirement.

    Companies are gouging the consumer, stealing from their employees, and then asking them to pay for their own expensive healthcare.

    Not only that, but these same companies are claiming no one wants to work for them and asking for overseas employees.

    This world that has been created by the Corporations has put enough pressure on the lower and middle class. It is time, once again, to tell them "we are tired and we aint gunna take it no more".

    This is why I have hated Dell outsourcing their tech support. Instead of a first world country answering your calls with the probability that they have their own computer at home being higher than a third world country, you get a third world country with a heavy accent and a book to read on how to proceed.

    Have you done troubleshooting online? It is the same thing!

    But this isnt the worst part, the worst part is that the normal layman that calls them for assistance, sometimes in a panic because they were working on something or something bad will happen, etc... they get some idiot who couldnt respond with actual questions, help soothe the person, or be compassionate in any way.

    So, after this terrible experience, they go to work and IT there not only has to contend with the issue, but they have to deal with the assumption that we are just as retarded as those on the phone.

    If people want to outsource their items, they will soon find that it was a big mistake. I already know this to be true as a medium sized business did this and they are scrambling to recover.

    So go on... try it...

    You guys have no idea how badly CEOs and Boards want their technology to host your crap.
    They see "the cloud" as a "Web 2.0".. (or 2.5 depending on who you ask) short term money maker.
    They see Amazons success and want to invest in their own cloud, but not by much. So it is outsourced to people who have no idea or concept of what it actually entails. Of course, neither do the bosses who want it.
    So this is no surprise and it wont be the only company that fails this badly at launch. I know of a few that are worse than this.
