Criticizing Google got me fired
Im going to openly state that i am not an expert in business dynamics but I have worked in a few industries that seem to have a system that, while being technically not being a monopoly or breaking laws (usually slowly carved into being legal or they are working at deregulating it to be that way) are doing really shady unfair scheming in order to have the dominating company. This is the goal of a capitalist model. so trying to make your company be the only option is a big success for the people that profit from that company. Its not good for innovation or society in the long term but in America that is the system that is there. This is why regulations have to get set up though, because a company (pretty much 94% of them) if just were allowed a "free market" will at all cost and no regard for what the negatives for society , will work to make a profit and get to a level where least amt of effort and cost bring in max profit to them. It's not evil or even always conscious it's just human nature. look at the millions of people that built the railroads and cities and slaved to make an empire for a small few as they die penniless and broke. Its not right or fair what Google did, but the dude saw someone talk smack and it not only hit ego but could cost profit, so he smacked back. There needs to be a different model altogether, not a shaming someone for doing what any of us would in that spot.<p>As they say dont hate the player, hate the game.<p>I am also not saying i have an answer to finding that model and i dont think with the current climate of tribalism, it's not going to happen until im old or dead. So if you dont like it, stop bitching and try and fix it. You do know that Karma isnt a real thing? some amazing people have nothing but crap happen to them all their life, others are disgusting pigs and have nothing but continued success. Yeah sucks, now buck up cuz google being a meany, is really not a news story. Go find a job creator to create the guy a job.
