A fair argument from Tucker that Google can no longer be trusted and, due to its out-sized influence, should be regulated as a public utility:
I don’t necessarily agree; competition to Google could still punish their evil ways. But I found Tucker’s case interesting.
An editorial from James Damore himself, in The Wall Street Journal.
In my document, I committed heresy against the Google creed by stating that not all disparities between men and women that we see in the world are the result of discriminatory treatment.
The March on Google is still on for this Saturday, August 19.
With or without an arrogant Goliath-like player around, competition is always good anyway.
Of course, that’s Econ 101 that is either out of reach of any leftist do-gooder’s comprehension or of irrelevant desirability, given their preference for higher endeavors, such as legal plunder and for the masses.
*by and for the masses
While I appreciate DuckDuckGo’s respect for our privacy, Google’s algorithms still seem to be better. I can type in the site I want in DDG, and it’ll be far enough down the screen that I need to scroll, or a direct link won’t even be in the search results. That and Google’s range of services and options is incredible: Who doesn’t make use of Google Docs in this day and age?
We all remember the lesson from ECON 101 that government interference in the market usually does more harm than good, but that’s only when the market is operating properly. I’ve never met anybody who wasn’t a free-market ideologue or directly benefitting from the status quo who thought that government breaking trusts or turning utilities susceptible to natural monopolies in to public trusts was a bad idea. Not convinced that turning Google into a public utility is the way to go, but I agree that they are getting a little too hydra-like- and they are so far and above the rest of the competition that the competition may not even be making a dent.
To be precise, he stipulated male/female differences in such a way that females were not presented as superior.
Tucker’s sounds pretty odd to me — I would think he’d know better (that is, it doesn’t matter that Goliaths thrive for a while on markets, until more agile Davids bring them down just be taking advantage of them Goliaths starting to stumble upon their own inertia).
That said, maybe Tucker is even naughtier than he wants to sound — and is secretly hoping for unions and other pen pushers to do what they do best : to take over Google and make it crumble even faster than if left alone with the (already) harsh (though, fun) game of the market — lol, that’d be “fun”, in a morbid way in 10 years from now; after “Remember Detroit!” we be like, “Remember Google!”
Again, some will say that my bitterness inspire me to make tasteless jokes about what once was a great tech company in spirit and all; although I do not actually wish for Google to go down that fast, I would grant, that yes, joking about that is definitely poor taste. In my defense, though, I’d submit that it’s one of the last resorts for me to communicate my disgust for self-destructive stupidity — engineered on the left once again, nobody will be surprised about that — and anyway, it’s “just” a company; if you want to play dumb with the markets and follow the leftist agenda in the lust of your self-serving plunder on the rest of your environment, I say, well, eventually, Google or not, you deserve to eat the cake of dust and dirt that your internal mafias have been cooking all the way for you.
When people do it with countries, you get Cuba, Venezuela…
Another opportunity for agents provocateurs from Soros’ Rent-a-Mob (aka BLM and Antifa) to stage a counter-demonstration (i.e., start a fight that will escalate into a riot). Then, no matter who disavows what, the MSM will report that it was a terrorist attack by the Alt Right.
Or, I totally missed something.
Damore has come out against efforts to hurt Google directly and has distanced himself from the marches.
That won’t stop the media from painting him as the leader of the alt-right, along with all the other media-proclaimed “leaders”.
“Damore has come out against efforts to hurt Google directly and has distanced himself from the marches.”
Makes one wonder how many shares of GOOG/GOOGL he owns.
If a lot, he could sell them, and say nothing.
