I can’t believe Oracle has 10,000 employees to begin with. What the hell are they doing that even needs that many people to begin with?

    Writing iron-clad, deal-with-the-devil level contracts that cannot be broken by mere customers. And nipping open-source projects in the bud via mergers and acquisitions.

    These bastards grifted $300 million dollars from my state to build a single website for the Healthcare exchange after the ACA was passed. It never once worked and was scrapped for the federal government's own version immediately after its "release." To be fair, I also blame our state leaders for this as even your average moron could see this coming from a mile away. Even if it did work, who the fuck would spend 1/3 of a billion dollars to build a webpage.
