Google staff angry at Google for considering military contracts. Microsoft staff? Silent endorsement.

  I think it’s misdirected anger. The reason we enjoy the strong, stable economy that allowed Google and Microsoft is flourish is our strong military that prefers to play “away games”. I often half-joke that the aircraft carrier did more for democracy than a Gandhi and Mandela combined.

  There was a lot of noise and concern from the people building hololens. I am not sure what the state is now: https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/22/18236116/microsoft-hololens-army-contract-workers-letter https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/22/18236116/microsoft-holole...

  I proudly endorse my company's military contracts! (For several different militaries, too.)
