Yes, I literally have no clue

EDIT didn't see the video

Great thread!

Aaaaaaaand /thread

EDIT didn't see the video

Whoa. That company's big. And I've never heard of it.

How do you not care about this?
They control nuclear weapons, prisons (private prisons are fucking ridiculous anyway, like... the single worst thing to ever exist), oil....
Did any of you even watch the video?

This thread looks pretty hilarious from my point of view in that case...

Lol, yeha i thought I forgot it before on iPod too. But it just doesn't show up, stupid no flash.

I wouldn't worry. As a service company they probably just sweep floors, clean toilets and clean windows.

So what you're telling me is that you can't tell the difference between the maintenance and decommissioning of warheads, and actually being the people in control of nuclear warheads?

The second, more pertinent question, is this: why on Earth do you trust individuals employed by the state to do an infallible job, whilst you place no trust in individuals employed by a private company? What's the difference? Seems to me that either of these groups of people has exactly the same potential to go AWOL.

Because government representatives are spending other people's money, while working toward their own self-interests. Corporations working through government contracts can bypass the open market and score tremendous profit by not being required to offer competitive pricing or a quality product.

Because the private company can not be swayed by the public.
In regards to private prisons.... I think that's just obvious. Profiting off people going to jail is only ever going to lead to more people in prison, and less people getting out.

What on Earth are you talking about? The private company is employed by the government and has to obey all governmental orders.

And the government is made up of people spending other people's money while looking out for their own self interests. They have no inclination to use the most competitively priced and quality product, especially when they get bribed to do the opposite.

Yes, you did. lol It's okay. I just wish apple would allow flash already. Or offer some alternative, coz you get a skewed view of things I've found, heaps of things look different.
Anyway, threads been derailed a bit now.... Probably over anyway.

Great video!

They are like the Foxconn of ... everything OTHER than manufacturing o.O

I DO hope they invest in Facebook at the IPO coming soon! /sarcasm

Interesting.

Subscribing so I can watch when home, I want to know the biggest company i've never heard of!
