The Economist recently noted that Apple, Amazon, and Google together employ 113,000 people—which is less than 1/3rd as many as a single American success story from the prior generation, GM, employed in 1980.
—THE COUNTRY’S PROBLEM IN A NUTSHELL: Apple’s Huge New Data Center In North Carolina Created Only 50 Jobs (via jonathanmarcus)
I saw this headline over the weekend and while we all know how BI and their headlines, it still bugs me. We live in a global capitalist economy and the reality is that if any business can outsource manufacturing or automate processes, it will happen.
Remind me of which company needed to be bailed out in 2008? Apple? Amazon? Google? Remind me which company is the second-most valuable in the world and for a brief moment, even was the most valuable of all.
May I try and rewrite this headline?
The country’s problem in a nutshell: money in politics.
(via david-noel)Well put.
