He is wearing a shirt that says "goolag" from Google's logo. I love it. One of the better corporate slave names.
Edit: This is more memeish if anything. Google is obviously not comparable to a gulag, its just the closest negative pun.

- medlazik 9y agoIt's utterly ridiculous to compare Google to a "gulag" and just shows how disconnected from reality this guy is.

- forgottenpass 9y agoIs this what we've come to? Willfully failing to acknowledge obvious hyperbole? And for what purpose? To score cheap political points? Defame the opposition? Drive clicks to hot takes on a low rent blog?
