Fiorina rode the tech bubble to the top at AT&T, but was an MBA, not an engineer, and totally missed the reality that everyone spent several years of their hardware acquisition budget on Y2K, and wouldn’t be doing any buying beyond absolute necessity for several years afterwards.
Buying Compaq was a terrible idea because you would have two hardware manufacturing companies not selling product, instead of just one.
She learned “CEO”-ing during boom times and couldn’t make the adjustment. She also was unable to adjust to the cultural differences between AT&T and HP.
I seriously doubt she can even be a credible threat to Barbara Boxer, she should have waited and taken on Diane Feinstein.

]]>While Hewlett-Packard Benefits From The Stimulus, Fiorina Claims It ‘Manifestly Has Failed’
As The Wonk Room’s Pat Garofalo has pointed out, the Senatorial candidate’s “only real solution to anything is to cut taxes. But that doesn’t do much good for those who are already out of work and have no taxable income, and it doesn’t spur demand that will give businesses more customers and thus a reason to expand.”
Additionally, while Fiorina argues “people are losing their jobs” because of the stimulus, she clearly fails to recognize the stimulus’ positive impact in California. Although the Golden State is undeniably still struggling economically, the more than 70,000 jobs created as a result of the stimulus are difficult to ignore. Furthermore, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the Recovery act has already saved or created 2.8 million jobs — an estimated 3.7 million by September.
Seriously… one only requires the IQ of a stupid cow (bovine) to see she is totally full of *it*! How the hell she ever became CEO of HP I’ll never understand, nor will many other HP *insiders* (I worked for HP during the 90’s)
Whatever…

It should be absolutely amazing, but it’s now the ‘norm’. *shrug*
]]>Kryten, they don’t want workers to wear protective equipment because the “visuals” are bad, so workers are going to get sick. Why should BP care? The “workers” are all hired through contractors, so it’s not BP’s problem. Like most large corporations these days, BP has very few actual employees. Its workforce is primarily independent contractors and temps.
Trying to find a half dozen people in Congress who can walk and chew gum at the same time is fool’s errand.
]]>Although Louisiana state records indicate that at least 74 oil spill workers have complained of becoming sick after exposure to pollutants, BP’s own official record keeping notes just two such incidents.
All BP exec’s IMNSHO should submit to an X-Ray. If any of them actually have a spine, it’ll be more crooked than a pretzel! They couldn’t lie straight in bed!

Mind you, with that said, this guy is the closest I’ve seen in a while (present company excluded, of course!) 😉
Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré: ‘Act like it’s World War III,’ ‘find this oil and kill it.’
Of course, the biggest complete moron in the US Gov HAS to be Bachmann!! every time that stupid cow (with apologies to actual bovines) opens her stupid mouth, I want to put a high-velocity bullet in it!
Bachmann calls oil spill victim escrow account ‘a redistribution-of-wealth fund’
Proves to me God doesn’t actually exist, otherwise moronic hypocritical self-proclaimed Christians such at Bachmann would have been struck dumb (at the very least) long ago!
And many other fools, such as:
GOP congressional candidate: The federal government and BP colluded to spill oil in the Gulf.
Another *wanna-be white* dude with not a chance in hell of ever really being accepted into the White Supremacist GOP club except as for PR value. What is it with these morons? Are the truly that desperate? (And that’s NOT a racist comment, it’s a statement of fact!)
Pfffft!
]]>And there are three or four seals at Ft. Walton Beach’s Gulfarium. They’re probably endangered by the oil, too.
