2. so sayeth Queen Fiorina. |
|
the Post-Intelligencer does a beautiful job at snarking at the Queen here! Let's export Fiorina's job to India! Come to think of it, maybe we could outsource our political leadership to India, too.

16. When land ownership was privatized and removed from the commons |
|
a person no longer had the right to life. Since then people do have to compete ... and against each other, rather than cooperating.
A sane society recognizes the losses due to privatizing and creates new systems to support those who suffer as a result.
We haven't gotten there yet.

7. It is comments like this that probably had her bounced from H.P. and that |
|
is what I'm hoping the smart people of California to do. Bounce her from the Senate Seat before she has a chance to sit down.

14. "compete" is code for "rape the workers for another dime of profit". |
|
My last company told us they had to "compete" by shipping engineering work to China and India. I decided they could "compete" without my help.

11. She's right. Jobs are no longer a God given right but Satan's perogative. |

"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," said Carly Fiorina, chief executive of the Hewlett-Packard Co. "We have to compete for jobs." That's Illegal immigration all over again why is everyone so pissed? Or is it just for construction workers? I am confused.
