Fiorina? The women is living and breathing pestilence. She has the reverse Midas touch. Everything she touches turns to crap.
She picked the batton for a technological company like HP and the first thing she decided to do was fire employees and increase her bonus. She knifed HP R&D and outsourced everything to Asia. She pissed their technological leadership away to sell rebadged boxes from China. Imagine Steve Jobs had done the same to Apple. They wouldn’t even be here today. When HP started losing market share they decided to merge with Compaq and did the same there. 0+0=0.
Bill Hewlett and David Packard must be rolling in their graves now.
Did you Republicans not learn your lesson when Mitt Romney lost? Don’t pick a corporate vulture as a candidate. This woman is a natural born loser.
The same thing is happening at IBM today. Once IBM hardware research is gutted only x86 compatibles will be left, as a USA designed processor family, and even those are facing increasing competition from ARM.
IBMs hardware chip manufacturing plant is being bought by GlobalFoundries. A company with capital from Abu Dhabi which prior to that had bought AMDs fabs.
Did you know the USA is now a net importer of semiconductors? Heaven forbid if China decided to invade South Korea and Taiwan simultaneously. The world semiconductor would grind to a halt.
I will not vote for a ticket that has Fiorina on it even as a vice president. This is not negotiable. I don’t want her to get the chance to do to the US what she did to Lucent and HP.
Consider this. There are two points to business leadership. The first is to generate experience as a leader in a similar environment to the US Presidency. The second is to demonstrate the character and competence of the would-be candidate. Fiorina fails hard in this regard. She has some level of competence since she was able to both force through a terrible merger (which I personally lost money and my job as an immediate consequence thereof) and negotiate a $21 million package when the HP Board finally decided to fire her in 2005.
But I see two things, a history of making decisions that are good for Carly Fiorina even they are wildly at odds with the expectations of her job, and a rockstar veneer that reminds me of Obama’s hype in 2008. Part of the reason I was able to see what Obama was about was because I had seen much the same with Carly Fiorina in 1999-2001.
