My reaction was probably one that is a lot more relevant to the Hacker News community: between that and the incessant news about shootings (either by the Police on African American, or by toddlers), the alarming ratio of car accidents that cannot be prevented by driving safely (namely, the amount or rear-ending at red-lights that the Google Car is victim of), there is no way I’d like to work in the US. Seeing how bigoted so many jurors appear to be, how indefensible are some of the lawyers… that makes it all too likely that you go from commuting to a great job to a hell hole with no recourse. Any private option (say, for health-related issues) is too likely to be tied to employment, and getting fired after the incident and left in the cold sounds also too likely.<p>Investors should really start considering the consequence those events have on their companies’ ability to attract talent.
