Fuck him, seize the company and nationalize it

In my opinion, all companies essential to national security should be nationalised. I mean the likes of Lockheed Martin as well. There should be no profit from war and we can't afford companies to chase profits against the interests of national security if we end up needing it.

It's so hard to get media to take off, I don't see how someone takes a brand, a brand so well known its own language has become common (tweet, retweet) and decides the best thing to do is destroy all that effort.

Especially with social media, where the people generate yr content for you, disadvantaging your volunteer labor force isn't a sound strategy (looking at your dumb ass Spez).

At least it's right out in the open for everyone to see, that the idea we're in any kind of a meritocracy is a colossal myth.
