The $ins of $ilicon Valley - Facebook - The Worst of the Worst


Facebook is worse than any other company in this series by four or five orders of magnitude.  Everything I talk about with evil for the other companies before or after applies to facebook.  Facebook does more harm to EVERY aspect of human society and Mark Zuckerberg, as the sole ultimate owner and controller of facebook bears responsibility for this.  He cannot be stopped, he cannot be removed and is not beholden to anyone short of criminal prosecution for a law that does not yet exist on any book that I am aware of.

Primary Manchin - Without HR1 we are Toast anyway


The primary argument against primarying Manchin is that no other democrat can win in West Virginia.  OK...but without the filibuster there is no HR1 and with no HR1, there is no winning for democrats in Red or even purple states ever again as Republicans steal elections; so why not punish him while we still can?  We can pressure him and who knows, maybe he might change his mind and decide to save America?

The $ins of $ilicon Valley - Amazon - Walmart on Steroids


Everything people have complained about Walmart applies to Amazon on steroids.  They treat their workers like crap (white collar and blue collar), they have unsafe working conditions, they avoid taxes, they pretend to be progressive except whenever it is slightly inconvenient for them, they bully Seattle on minor taxes and they act like Trump whenever they want.

The $ins of $ilicon Valley - Google - The Fish Rots from the Head


Google does a much better job than the other four "horsemen" of the tech world 'keeping its nose clean' (by standards not set by lying conservatives) but it still has some problems, the most prominent of which is its management culture which seems to ignore the will of its stakeholders, employees or the populace at large to do short term, frankly STUPID things like fire diversity experts in AI.

The $ins of $ilicon Valley - Apple - The Company Store


Just because Apple built something new and only controls HALF the mobile market place doesn't mean that it should also be able to take a cut of or set ANY price it wants for anything that is used in their "walled" garden.  We also touch on Apple's collaboration with China to maintain the Great Firewall and the horrific conditions of Foxconn warehouses that Apple is "shocked shocked shocked to find gambling in this establishment."
