What else would you be focusing on when you're working on a product?
- grrowl 12y agoIn the case of Samsung, the opposition's products; in the case of [past] Microsoft, the users; in the case of Facebook, the advertising revenue. At my day job I'm focussed on what's best for the client, not the website or the client's product itself; such is agency life. When I'm at home I can put away the compromises and make the best damn $thing ever made.

The F-35 program is designed to extract as much money as humanly possible from the US Treasury. There are pharmaceuticals designed the same way. In tandem with lobbyist-penned laws that (a) ban Medicare from negotiating drug prices and (b) ban them from refusing any treatment deemed "medically necessary" they are patent-protected pipelines for moving taxpayer dollars into offshore accounts that are (unsurprisingly) tax free. The list goes on.
