It's all about the money. New graduates are cheaper. It's that simple. Technology and business are both over-populated with Randian/Libertarian douchebags for whom the quarterly bottom line is more important than good engineering or business as a sustainable entity in the larger social setting.

In other words, fatbird is a troll account. __Could someone with administrative access take a look and ban fatbird's account?__ Regarding this post specifically: I'm not sure what kind of sensible forum lets you tar an entire class of people with the label "douchebag."

I haven't been terribly active. I do tend to read more than write. "Take a look and ban"? Why bother taking a look if banning is called for?

Restrictions on expressing heretical ideas are harmful, though it's unsafe to disregard them where they exist.
