No, no, no. J&J is a good American company. Family values. Takes care of it's employees like family. Good for the economy. Ma & Pa Values.
They're nothing like free-and-footloose wild Facebook.

Of course, that's the image they want everyone to believe, and old money companies work very, very hard to continue that.
- iamstupidsimple 5y agoThis is the crux of the debate in my opinion - it's old money (finance, journalism, entertainment) vs new money (tech) that threatens to eat all their businesses alive. This is nothing more than a power struggle between the ownership classes.

- iamstupidsimple 5y agoI mean technology in a general sense. But for J&J specifically, there's always the chance that a fast moving biotechnology startup will outcompete them.
