I assiduously avoid both Mars and Starbucks. Just me, I guess....

That's modern day America for you.
During the last election we had a chance to have a man with decades of successes in both the public and private sector as President and we instead sent back a guy that got fired from his job of scooping ice cream.
Go figure.

I'm afraid of people who want to have their own planet.

Stay on Topic ... sport.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. ... My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

~Mitt Romney, in leaked comments from a fundraiser in May 2012

Do they take food stamps at Starbucks?
Why are you even concerned about it?

As moderator I'd agree with you but then you followed him off topic. See rule #9, folks.

If you ask me, we have here an interesting contrast.

It is true, Apple made a mistake removing Google Navigator prior to releasing iphone 5. It got bad reviews. Many customer are unhappy. And sales will suffer. There will be immediate consequences.

It is true, NASA did some amazing things, but it spent a lot of money inefficiently. It suffered no consequences for that, because in government your a success and get more funding only if you spend all your given. That's also why it's not rewarded for its successes.

The picture makes the topic suggestive. To me, I see a picture that illustrates the punishing of success and the rewarding of failure.
Much like the last election.
