Fox puts $ where mouth is, admits phone whore best career chance

In one of their many late night commercials which seem to have a lot to do with sex products. It’s a recruiting ad for women to do “phone valet” work in the “telecommunications industry”.
Other ads, not as spicy, but just as hideously depressing “Yo Name TOBY, boy!” that show your destination to be eternal slave-level jobs… go to Tech School and be an entry-level nurses aid, orderly, grease monkey or similar Peasant Work.
All that “American Dream” crap they sell about deregulated Capitalist economics affording everybody a chance to become CEO of a multi-trillion dollar corporation… purest bullshit.
When it comes to what they REALLY believe your “career” opportunities to be, it involves coveralls or scrubs or a chambermaid uniform… or perhaps a whore. Glorify it how they will, they speak great words of “Land of Opportunity” if we only allow the Corporates to have their way… and then tell us how they really regard us in the commercials.
Republican Hypocrisy in action.

Corporate personhood: unintended consequences

  • yes/no: are corporations persons?
    Are Corporations composed of shareholders?
  • are directed to people who feel powerless and victimized,
  • Hillary says “Free the internet from political control”

    And neglects the NeuenRealpolitik of Corporate control of Politics in America and its vassal states, and the strange silence on her part about Net Neutrality, just, you know, allow Corporate Overlords to control every aspect of the Internet through”free” Market business decisions. As though the Internet wasn’t developed at PUBLIC expense. Kind of like the Military are PUBLICLY funded institutions but somehow, all the profits from their Corporate Warfare go to the same very small group of very rich Thieves.

    AT&T, Microsoft, the “Baby Bells”, IBM, Intel… they were very handsomely paid for their “contributions” to developing the Internet. But somehow, I just don’t believe that their engineers, the ones who did all the work, got paid a double digit percentage (> = 10%) of the amount paid to the tiny minority of shareholders who own most of the shares.

    Remember Ross Perot? Made $20bn by having the GOVERNMENT provide the research, the recruitment and training of his Data Management team, the equipment to build “his” corporation, EDS… but it was “his” so-called leadership that was the most valuable asset.

    Even then, after he immediately sold the company for the aforementioned twenty thousand x a million dollars, fudges on his income tax. Oh, and it was to build the Social Security Medicare database, he being an outspoken critic of Non-Privatized Social Security.

    More recently, he got a fat cat contract, no bids, to provide the data management through the company he no longer officially owns, and his Country Club/Military Industrial Complex buddy former Gov. Bill Owens, the term “thick as thieves” applies here… to “manage” the Electronic Benefits Transfers… Medicaid and Food Assistance and AFDC and some very sore spots for Republicans, Child Protective Services… (Why do “conservatives” hate American kids?)

    When the system, no bid, patched together and really shoddy, experienced several hiccups during the first 6 months that cost Human Beings Their Irreplaceable Lives, Bill Owens laughed it off with a militaristic quote that it was like launching a new Aircraft Carrier, “you gotta run it for a wile to get all the bugs out of it.” Ignore the fact that a carrier is designed to KILL large numbers of people.

    Basically, it’s the notion that “Why should we let the lives of PEASANTS interfere with our profit margins?”

    Bill Owens has yet to answer for how much he made in kickbacks from EDS and his old friend Ross Perot.

    Hillary has yet to answer for how much she’s making in kickbacks from AT&T, Comcast, Microsux etc over her effective blocking of Net Neutrality.

    But these are the flag-carriers for “freedom”. And somehow in such a high position of moral authority that they can tell other countries what to do.
