Actually, that's far far smaller than I expected. That means that 80% are legit?

"That what is happening is a matter of individual greed and not some systemic mind control."

No. The fact that the local populace doesn't care at all and encourages it, means that it is a HUGELY systemic problem.

Amazon is the exception. Bezos is very smart in training investors to look at the value of their investment in other ways and that company profitability is NOT one of them.

In the majority of corporations the pressure is immense to be profitable, stay profitable and increase profitability. Very few CEOs/BODs have the backbone to resist that.

Everyone that buys this is going to spray it in their mouths. This has nothing to do with skin absorption and everything to do with getting around the FDA.

No toilets on commuter buses either and people ride them 45minutes to 1+ hours everyday with no issues.

You're stuck in the "long trip" "it's like a train" framework.

It is neither.

Although true, Google is nibbling around the edges. There are a lot of edges. It's enough to put a crunch on M$.

No. The congress/president are so scared of having another terrorist attach on their watch that they are 100% sold on letting the NSA/FBI/CIA/NYPD do anything they want to do in the name of safety/security.

This stems from the fact that the average American demands that they be safe and anyone that "drops the ball" will bear their wrath next election cycle. The average American values an illusion of safety/security FAR HIGHER than their privacy.

...and the NSA has tapped into every strand of fiber in the world making this sales pitch meaningless. They already have access. They only request access to allow what they already know to be admissible in the courts.

How is "a)" relevant at all? A proper NDA is NOT A NONCOMPETE. It just says that you can't blab what you see during the hiring process.
