If I were someone who got rich through rent-seeking activities that made the society as a whole poorer, I would not be employing the Marie Antoinette strategy in dealing with the protesters.  I would instead opt to lie low, rather than test the resolve of the Tea Party useful idiots that have so far protected you politically.

It's actually kind of an insult to McDonald's, too, when you think about it.

If I were MCD I wouldn't want to be associated with guys being jerks. So there's that too.

Obviously.  When you tell people to work in McDonald's as an insult, you are kind of denigrating all the people who work in McDonald's right now.

McDonald's exec: "Ha ha, those traders told those guys to go out and get shitty, low-paying, menial, tedious jobs over at...hey. Wait a minute. Sad trombone."

As MBM indicated, I don't think "avoid sounding like a dick" is high on the to-do list for the application-droppers.

Maybe, but the future of the internet, online commerce and communication is being determined by the battle between  Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Google.

The angus burgers they introduced a couple of years ago are pretty good.

Jet: I see.

Facebook?

No hipster douchery allowed on Languish.
You disapprove of Facebook?
I was never really that into it, but since it became a trendy marketing behemoth I avoid it at all costs.  It was pretty easy to fade out of it, since the only people who really were into it were my wife's family and people I knew from the old country.

And that's why the phone will never be replaced by their assorted services:  They're all predicated on being as terrible and intrusive as possible, and sending you as many ads as they possibly can in order to maximize their revenue stream.
