"A Crackdown on Corporate Crime and Abuse
The US needs to crack down on corporate crime, fraud and abuse that have just in the last four years looted and drained trillions of dollars from workers, investors, pension holders and consumers. Among the reforms needed are resources to prosecute and convict the corporate executive crooks and to democratize corporate governance so shareholders have real power; pay back ill-gotten gains; rein in executive pay; and enact corporate sunshine laws, among others" -
I thank Ralph Nader for the inspiration to pursue what is Just.
Excerpted from the Ralph Nader For President Website /Issues / Corporate Crimes",
BUT IS THIS ENOUGH? DEPT:
One would think that buying a new computer, a laptop wireless computer, a state of the art computer, a customized to your specifications computer, an expensive beyond your budget computer, would be somewhat exciting, a pleasant experience; had you not walked into the Freddie Krueger buzz saw of computer companies, HPshopping.com, a subset-sub-entity-sub-par-out-source division of the parent corporation HP Technology, Hewlett Packard of Palo Alto California. One would think that police brutality in the inner city would have nothing to do with such joyous events, one would think that corporate privilege would also be far removed from such times of pride in happy to have bought a Compaq computer. How wrong could one be!!!
All one has to do in these days of low interest hi competitive spirit of the times, where first time home buyers get $500,000 loans at the bargain interest rates of the century, is to go to a website order an "off-the-shelf" or custom configured computer or as they call the more upscale models, "a CTO", "Configured to Order", and as I call it THE NIGHTMARE.
Slam bang thank you mama and your on your way as soon as it is delivered; WRONG HACKER BREATH, there are some "iffie" bumps in the road" to computer heaven;
a) when it is delivered or "if" it is delivered or
b)"if" it is new or refurbished when delivered! The nightmare begins from "day-one" 'cept in this horror show you never wake up until you have called every government agency, ... Globally, then you are threatened in writing or Email to return the items, you are threatened with theft or fraoud of items shiped to you sin someone else’s name, your credit is under placed under attack by the company you bought it from.
c) you have sent back 3 keyboards and mouse(s) (or is that mice(s) or meece(s)), 1 Thumb drive, a very clever way of taking your private materials wherever you go and is 3 times smaller than your flip-cell phone. The item, a joy to own No Way! A total of 5 items returned and reordered, twelve times waiting for the shipment from hell to be delivered, then picked up only to
d) do it again, still counting, are the days and weeks and months rolling by after which you are still sitting with not one but two computers, the second and third computer shipped after the first defective one was returned, 2 Compaq Notebooks "configured-to-order" the "machines from hell", still waiting for the appropriate Return Authorizations Labels designating the item you received as opposed to a misplaced item presumably someone else’s nightmare also held captive in the hellish scheme. The labels which never arrive, then the news hits home,
e) one of the state of the art cutting edge computers in your possession which does not belong to you, due to an attempt by the company(s) Hewlett Packard and Hpshopping.com to placate your sense and that that as a consumer you hold dear that you are entitled to get what you paid for, and must fight for such privilege,
f)the company(s) send you a computer that belongs to someone else after you have waited for FedEx to pick up these items, RA'ed (return authorized), multiple times over a five month period of time under the so called no questions asked 30 day return guarantee policy and you have not got the opportunity to use the item for what you had intended because you are too busy downloading and installing software, EXAMING THE NUMEROUS DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS, then wiping-out all the work only to have to send it back so you can wait another month to get to work... Like clock work and quicksand the computers arrive by FedEx or picked up by UPS and the cycle of frustration starts over again like groundhog day..
Then there are the endless telephone queues (or is that, queuei) waiting for "tech support professionals" to determine if the computer needs to be returned within the 30 day window no questions asked period.
When called via telephone the "technical support professionals", an overstated misnommer created by Microsoft after having graduated thousands of "techies" worldwide at taxpayer expense, would more qaptly be named "the shareholder international tax drainage torture out-source squads, "corporate epaulet's" as this author refers to the trigger mechanism of the corporate trap.
The epaulets exist at numerous "DOT.com" internet addresses. They are the united front of the multiples of multi-national companies across multiple continents who make it a practice to waste your time and tax dollar, paid to educate them; they exist in the 24 hour world across all time zones. Many are employed by the Converges Company a massive conglomerate partnered with Microsoft and HP, the design of which is that the company provides the international real estate and computer harware that houses the "Epaulets", support professionals.
"Epaulets" are the spearhead of a global corporate featherbedding scheme which would make Enron executives envious, that make domestic union feather bedding of the past look like finch-down compared to the vulture-down of the support professionals. The issue of the out-sourcing of these jobs will become the destruction of the American middle class when the companies that had out-sourced their labor decide it is profitable to import the labor or open the borders to anyone who wears a corporate epaulet. The congress and unions will be helpless to stop the clamber of incense burning techies from china and India from prancing over the borders with expertise in competition with Americans that have credit card debt, college loans to repay and minimum wages laws that prevent the competition from being on a level playing field with the itinerant grapes of Windows wrath! The problems are more complex that just one Megalithic company partnering against the wealth of the American taxpayer, when companies with military contracts like Hewlett Packard can not only avoid taxes but remove the taxpayers monies across the border the plot thickens to the demise of the American economy.
Megalithic multi-billion dollar corporations united in a manner of there most feared nemisis of the bygone era of communism. The nightmare haunting siren screams out, Corporate Hacks and rip-off of the world unite. ENRONIZE NOW!
Good god they are free at last, to pillage at the behest of the American taxpayer while america's very existence is threatened under the greed driven by leadership ignorance.
When contacting the press room, Campaign to Elect Kerry for President after giving the press person the gist of the issues from product liability out-sourcing and tax theft, his retort wass, this is not a campaign issue and then the phone went, click. Yet the confusions of the Kerry campaign inner sanctum was geared towards a public outcry by John Kerry himself to recapturing 12 billion dollars of lost revenue due to global out-sourcing by corporate America, spreading it's oppulance as the madame in a brothel.
The stockholder along with the taxpayer (one-in-the same), inevitably pays for an hourly-wage-out-source-wish-come-true, a 7 to 12 hour support session across the international dateline at the expense of the customers' "free time" good nature and fear of being "hanged-up, upon" (or is that "hung-up on") or being accidentally disconnected during the call due to the connecting local Telco (telephone company's) problems with your DSL line only to be intentionally internationally disconnected in the hopes of India to "palm-you-off" (no "connection" to a palm-pilot"), on to the Canadians "a veritable support professional techie butcher shop, if it weren't broke it soon will be" so as to get rid of the "tough warranty-problem customers" making the company support success rate appear as the quality control heaven it is not, the bottom statistical line of their existence, look good for India in competition for the jobs with Canada.
The customers are driven back, beat back to the phone queues if they are not cooperative, giving private information across local, state and international borders to employees that have no idea what the luxury and privilege of privacy is all about nor would they care if they did.
They demand under the guise of corporate policy to extract full social security numbers, opting for the last four numbers should a customer get irate about such arrogance in the name of corporate policy, the company(s)demand information that arguably only a proctologist or gynecologist would need. The least of the consequences are that you may have subjected yourself to being spammed and exposed to computer virus and malware and badgered by email whence you know not where it is from unless you buy the upgraded versions of the 30 trial software that came with your computer whereby your warranty is voided if you do not use it. Might one suspect that the people that sold you the cure had created the virus?
Then random chance plays heavily on your ability to get satisfaction after being placed back in the telephone queue, if you can remember why you called in the first place and not having hung up out of your own desire to express a non-professional manner of frustration. In testing these inadequacies of services having experienced them first hand confirming with Hewlett Packard the problem, this author logged 308 telephone calls in approx five months in an attempt to resolve the companies arrogant manner of dumping the problem on the paying customer. The sales force, the tech support consumer lines the commercial lines department, the military government contract department was also queried, then the corporate offices and finally the office of the CEO Carly Fiorina, a hard nose business woman emanating out of the bowels of Lucent technology now selling for little more than 3 dollars a share after having risen to the summit of over 100 less than 5 years ago.
I digress; that is certainly an issue for further investigation.
Continuing, India's arch rival Canada, per-chance, picks the ailing customer problem out of the transferred call queue and gets stuck with the unsolvable problem when the customer gets re-queues-ed (that's phonetically pronounced, "re-ca-weed"). Out-sourced the customer is hurled internationally back into the telephone queue by the "support-professional" in India.
The customer begins to catch wind having after repeating this "real life computer game" procedure each time a "NEW" DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IS DELIVERED replacing the former defective product, the SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL(S) sessions are artificially prolonged beyond the ten minutes it should have taken, the sessions LASTING UP TO TWELVE STRAIGHT HOURS ACROSS THE GLOBAL DATELINE across 2 CALANDAR DATES, 11 TECH SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS CONTRIBUTING THEIR CONFUSIONS AS if they knew what they were doing, the stockholder paying the phone bill, the customer the Guinea-pig for the high tech high stakes product, they gamble the consumer's time and financial credit, cannibalized by the defective products assembly line located in Shanghai China and Thailand, the manufacturer labor working for "coolie" wages. Does anyone doubt the Governor of California who insists he will bring the corporations back to America, while the World Headquarters of one very successful California major supplier of memory is presently under construction in Shanghai China.
But I digress again:
Such issues of out-sourcing had been observed first hand by this author, establishing a Wireless Microsoft Base Station MN700 configuration. The task involved 11 tech support people to do the deed at the expense of the shareholders, the two multi-national tech squads both in India and their counterparts in the United States simultaneously ripping the taxpayer/shareholder a new balance sheet. The MN700 is necessary for the wireless connection of a computer to the internet, providing such wonderful attractions to the computer world as wireless chat rooms at Starbucks and other gathering places other than the historical "Bar Scenes" meat shops now converted to nerd shops. What is still further interesting, the fact of the same company, Hpshopping.com that sold me the item, a division of Hewlett Packard Company the "parent company is partnered With Microsoft to provide such technical wizardry not to mention profitability.
THE ACTUAL TIME NECESSARY TO HAVE THE TASK COMPLETED WAS 15 MINUTES NOT 8 HOURS.
CA-CHING, I HEAR ENRON STOCKHOLDERS TURNING IN THEIR PREMATURE GRAVES
One often gets consoled when bringing the absurdity to the attention of HP Corporate Headquarters in the United States. THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS Advocacy experts identify the exorbitant time frame to resolve technical issues as one of language, despite the fact everyone is speaking English, and the 45 minutes to get someone to attempt to resolve the issues only after one is sucked into the telephone queue, one never does get resolve nor does the continuing anguish of the customer experiences ever fade, a case number is assigned to the nightmare that has no sunny morning coffee break, the horror, the horror, it just keeps going month after month ... and they wonder why Ralph Nader runs for office, might it be that he had owned or presently owned 4.5 million dollars of Cisco, a company that makes the uplink switching for satellite-to-ground communications, the stuff the big boys use for high speed information transfers!!!
The "mullet-customer", as preceived by one sadistic sales person named Jason at HpShopping.com (The name Jason seems to be a favorite alias used by the sales personnel, claiming the U.S. Homeland Security Act allows for such evasive tactics to protect the company privacy at the expense of the customer sanity even though the sales people are in Canada. Works for me, but isn't the Homeland Security Act supposed to protect me from marauding rip-offs in Canada who seek to unload defective product as a custom and practice. The defective computers go back to China with personal recoverable private information still in data form on the hard drives rife for the picking. Might this also be at issue with U. S. Military contracts and returns of defective merchandise.
The BlogOneDos, got suspicious of the alias routine after three sales representatives, their supervisors and customer service employees within 60 minutes stated their names as being, you got it, Jason. Suspicion was heightened, when one female sales person, the fourth impostuer, said that her name was also Jason while referring to the inquiry about 0% financing, the customer was referred to as the "mark", "...the "mark" (the customer) she described, "gets ample time to contemplate their navel while meditating on why any company gives 0% interest and 0 payments for twelve months."
I am still pondering the remark... OM!
Not to wonder anymore, the unsuspecting "mark" is 5 of the 12 months into the re-queue-ed support professionalism when ultimately the client is enlightened, the finance invoice, it "hits home" and you do not have the guaranteed satisfaction having been satisfied, or for that matter the rebate, rebated, absent is a discernable itemized accounting, the discounts coupons, price reductions and price guarantees are not decipherable nor is the "new" CTO, customized computer" the one ordered 4 months prior, missing still the joy, the peace of mind you originally expected, nor the have you completed work, the reason for the purchase in the first place. If you had a mind to begin with, it was out-sourced, left at the end of the corporate gold-brick road.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Though you may be inclined to think that the price of computers is dropping, computers do not come cheap these days, the one I ordered was more than $2300 dollars including the so called EXTENDED warranty services. In order to avail oneself of the very attractive looking package that should place anyone at ease about such an ambitious expenditure, one must hurdle past the Hindi common screw department, when seeking technical support. But, not to stop there one encounters the blue screw department immediately after the common screw department, you see, ...India throws support professional bodies at defective products as an innovative technical solutions scheme dividing the products into model and serial numbers whereby the specialization is geared for the richest of the Hindi commodities, human confusion. Enter the "Golden Screw" professionals.
But, India ingenuity does not stop there as you are led to believe, by being passed to the next department, the Golden Screw Department;" it will be the last stop, yes the last stop before the phone goes click and your in the phone queue level 1 again which has been re-named in your absence to the royal screw department and you then hear a recorded announcement, "If you want to make a call, hang-up and try again."
I must herein remark that never has anyone in India presented themselves in a hostile or impolite fashion, in fact that is the disarming technique of a people who have mastered the art of devotional love to ideals which are as powerful and disarming as any attempt to be non-professional.
Now! If that type of professionalism does not add insult to injury or might not have been enough to prompt you to express “expletive deletives” ( a term reminiscent of the Nixon years) one needs to realize that the jobs market in India as cheap yet over-qualified as the labor might be is still subject to competition for the jobs with Canada. The Canadian contingency has one big ego tripping competitive head-trip game as interesting as any international Olympic Games had you the customer not been the official game, jump-ball.
Apparently, confusions are created by manipulation of identifying numbers the stuff that excuses and white lies are made of until they become the stuff of bait and switch of products that have plausible denial as a cover to their scandalous arrogance and defective manufacture. You, as customer, are ordered, to do what they say or lose the warranty service. As you submit to their dominance you are instructed to destroy your data and wipe out the hard disc causing the necessity for the product to be returned and the month long wait for a customized computer is visited on your by-pass surgeon, once again.
Serial numbers, product numbers and model numbers seem to add to the infighting that India passes to Canada when they are hard pressed to address the problems of the customers technical support needs. They are given incentives to get the job done quick and efficiently, so states Nipun, a Hindi based employee who described the team effort, where India is pitted against the Canadian "epaulets," the "support professionals."
The problem relative to this concept is the hair brained scheme of internal-out-source-competition, is that the warring factions forgot about the customer getting disconnected after 1 hour in the queue the callers only crime, desiring relief from yet another "new" defective computer. The ability to reconnect to the support professional half way around the world is near impossible in less than 45 minutes, if at all
The caller is passed down an international gauntlet, a procession of "support professionals" not recognizing the data base identifying numbers including your "address physical", as opposed to but also including your "address non-physical" your social security number and your product identifying numbers. After 20 minutes of intake you are chastised due to your lack of professionalism when screaming in the telephone and pulling-out the last patches of hair you have left on your head ...And your computer is only 12 hours "new" but forever defective.
My wife knew less about me after 25 years of marriage than the support professionals on three continents. I fantasized when I received Email proposals of marriage from what I suspected was India and the Philippines shortly after these event's started in March 2004. Part of the dowry was, you got it a computer geek... I refused these proposals until I got promised a 3 year warranty and the serial number and tracking numbers in advance of the shipment. of the merchandise.
Obviously, a bit of a comic relief interlude, I jest possibly, somewhat, but not when considering this last issue, one must not get in bed with the serial number confusions being manipulated by the out-sourced company and the sales force of Hpshopping.com unless you want the greedy types to threaten fraud and theft after they ship you products you did not order and then demand you send them back. Beware!
Your problems never having been solved, you are then asked to take a customer satisfaction survey… DUH …Pass the cyanide
If that “ain’t” enough nightmares department we now come to the real beef;
PANHANDLING FOR TAX DOLLARS where the gold in dem dere hills is found!
0 % 0 PAYMENTS 12 MONTHS
One begins to glean that the attractive here kitty kitty, to buying one of these "dot com mind-traps" is the opportunity to not pay for the item for 12 months... and not pay interest or finance charges;
5 months into the finance game, the company is offering a buy back for the same price you paid after you have spent hundreds of hours waiting in queue, reformatting, testing dysfunctional batteries, being passed to Microsoft’s international rat maze so as to verify that the problem is hardware related and not software related then it dawns on you that you have been dealing with corporate veils across state and international borders and they have charged you $200 dollars local sales tax and the company writes off the expenses while yanking your chain in multiple fiscal years, ... and the stockholder never sees the international bottom line, like stealth moving across in the night the tax dollars disappear in India and Canada.
The company buying favors of employment while the consumer gets the hang-up. The state, out-of-state-auditor is helpless, often too limited in their abilities to chase the funds across state lines let alone international borders.
Few give the tax collector a second thought, except when the consumer is asked to cover the deficit of their leadership having provided the incentives for coporate America to vault across the border like Mexican immigrants heading in the opposite direction… no wonder there no interest in border control there is so much activity coming and going the corporations with you taxes and the Mexican have nots following the age old American dream.
This author has little lost love for the tax collector but when the Governor, wears $17,500 dollar boots, asks the California taxpayer to cough up a $17 billion dollar bond issue and his supporters are given the green light to jump across state and national borders, evading issues of ethical and moral content, if not legal questionability, one needs only to look at the vacuum, the lost tax dollar growing impact accumulates in the inner city collapse, where the police department violently ravages the first hit areas of tax drain, illustrating oh so graphically, the plight of the inner city, hit with violence impacted by out-sourced. the flight of corporate America to countries ready to work sometimes for 40 to 70 percent less. They get the hot-source a burning vicious message of the brutality that awaits a city void of the tax dollar the vacuum which creates poverty zones.
_____________________________________________________________________________In checking with the board of Sales and Use tax division, in this case, the California State Board of Equalization, the Board has a difficult time in collecting un-paid taxes by major corporations in a state that is panhandling the taxpayer for billions of dollars of bond issues in a failing budget battle pitted against Arnold Swarzenegger and his supporters none other than HP, Hewett Packard, reporting revenues of 19 Billion Dollars last year against the reluctant Californian constituency who has been "Enron-ed" to near bankruptcy. 60 billion in debt. Californians are continually asked for more taxes when the contributors to the governors coffers "out-source" their fair share... THEIR JOBS AND THEIR FUTURES! There is a hole in the bucket. One representeative oif the State office of Finance referred to the matter retorting, "This is not new."
I did not invent crime and most crime is not new, but the comment raise anger, if it is not new then you have certainly enough time to contemplate your own government navels and come up with a resolution to prevent riots in our inner cities because friend of government get to be privledged in our courts and congress.
THE SAME Governor of the state that boasts the 5th largest economy in the world, CALIFORNIA, GOVENOR SWARZNEGGER produced and starred in TOTAL RECALL, A FILM made in Mexico for a budget of $25 Million Dollars, The Governor makes idol claims he is going to bring business back to California. I think he will succeed only after he has exported all the jobs and all the services to BOMBAY, NEW DEHLI, BANGLORE, NOVA SOCTIA AND THAILAND SHANGHAI AND MANILA in an effort to export an American crusade around the world.
This opinionator, the BlogOneDos, wonders if the terminator will terminate his supporters ploy, continue looking the other way on issues of taxes owed California, forgive his supporters that portion of the unpaid taxes due, while further burdening the taxpayer in the tradition of Ronald Reagan blaming the ills of deficit on out of control government and our present govenor panhandles the taxpayer for dollars to cover the ENRON executives and the lingering Enron debt, and finds a billion tax dollars on the indian reservation. This game is more like a squirell finding the hidden nuts.
The governor taxes, the government does not collect the tax, and then the government needs more tax... makes perfect sense if you are part of the priviledged class that can afford to wear $17,500 hand made boots like the govenor while the inner-city alleged felon gets bludgeoned in the streets because a vacuum of finance is being removed to Canada and India and the Philippines and the consumer is getting the remanufactured parts and products infused back into the system under the watchful eye of the "Governor" who is committed to bring business back to California.. . Looks good on the books... but where are the books?
BlogOneDos refers the reader to the California Sales Tax website http://www.boe.ca.gov/sutax/topdebt.htm,
to see the top ten abusers of the sales tax in the State of California. There are abuses in every state. Resources that could be putting more police on the streets, have better health care for the undocumented, more education for the buck, more drivers documentation for the foreigner and to the community services that are dearly needed for emergency situations as if this issue is not such an emergency.
The Board of Equalization website is one piece of work the tip of the iceberg that confirms that for every million dollar abuser "in-State", corporate crime pays. The billion dollar companies move their pea and shell game across international borders making the game one of catch as catch can vs corporate party line retort mouthed by the Governor that bringing business back to California is the first priority ...albiet, if you believe that one, I have a bridge in brooklyn that is for sale... no sales tax will be charged if shipped out-of-state. I suggest we begin selling the government to the highest bidder but I fear we hav already embarked upon that endeavor!
Which brings me to the HOME STRETCH!
If I were lord, no too ambitious, If I were President, no, too impossible, if I were Govenor of California, yes, anyone can obtain thjat office, my insider friends could make on average 8% "right off the top profit accounting line, GROSS" gross sales, considering General Motors often caps off at less than 3% of the net, I would certainly take a hike across the Canadian border and give the jobs to India who can provide services for $375 a month for educated high quality professionals who hang the phone up on customers if the spirit moves them.
Now the BlogOneDos never complains unless there is a remedy a resolve to this unique grab for the booty.
BolgOneDos suggets that what is good for the gooses is good for the VULTURE... to wit: EXPORT THE GOVERNORS STAFF TO CANADA and INDIA and for that matter EXPORT and OUT SOURCE THE ENTIRE BUSH GOVERNMENT TO CHINA. This is not so far fetched when you think about it. There are many states in the USA that would bite at the bit to get a piece of the non-essential government jobs out-sourced at a price, the like the sheriffs personnel are out-sourced (marginally out-sourced, rented to county’s that cannot afford to supply there own police force due to the high rate of per-capita expense for uniforms, squad cars and pension and retirement benefits to name a few, not to mention the loss of revenues impacting the smaller communities more than the larger ones.
Then there are those government jobs that are more apt to be carried out as a referal service from one department to the other... you know like India and the common screw, blue screw, golden, screw departments., whereby you get referred from one office of goverment to another until you get sent from the department of Defense to the parking enforcement in the county of OZ. Where one tries to call the FBI or the CIA and the issues of Homeland Security becomes don't bother us we get paid to bother you. OUT-SOURCE EM' .. if they give you a telephone number and say call them... OUT-SOURCE THEM... West Virginia needs the work, so does Oregon, so does New Mexico, and so does India. If the governor sends you to the Mayor of you city, OUT-SOURCE the Governors staff... The hourly wage will be lower and the Governor will be able to experience the frustration of the corporate turn the other cheek routine and the "gueue!"
Accountability is the issue here, In 1789 we the people did not get out of bed on a sub-zero morning to vote for a government referral service and get the royal screw hang-up. We voted for the stuff wherein a proactive government does not mean we look for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, after we know they have been smuggled back into the USA after we the people sold Iraq the equipment to generate weapons grade bacteria to Iraq.
Whether it is old news or new news, moral or ethical or legal to require tax be collected before new tax is approved, where budget is predicated on priority of crime vs priority of privilege and friends of elected government, if there is a strata of privilege where one pays the tax and the friends of the elected officials enjoy a tax holiday, the tax never being paid collected is different than the tax after collected is denied finding the way back into the coffers of the general fund is moot, but what is not moot is that there is a difference between not paying tax and that of collecting tax and keeping it or passing it across international borders and then out-sourcing the jobs paid for with tax dollars and the loss of revenues to the thieves. Was this not Nixonian Democracy where the IRS was targeting citizens for audits while the President was making his target list and checking it twice. If you were not for the man you were agin’ the most power hungry megalomaniac in the history of the United States. How fast we forget.
After all China speaks the language of Republican Global out-sourcing and the World Trade Organization, efficient business is re-invented, to encompass reselling of defective merchandise, India trouble shoots issues of defect confused by the numbers ploy, Canada repackages the items, if found after return, satisfies the disgruntled customers, ships another dysfunctional product, the dysfunction not found by customer within 30 days of receipt, the replacement therefore effectively baits the consumer and switches the old dysfunction with new problem insuring continued employment growth, for the Canadians, whose implied competitive motto, "if" it aint broke we won't fix we break it, we will replace it with another defect, the zen business scheme, while the Governors supporters, Hp out-sources the bookkeeping elect q Govenoir that is blind to the practice yet when informed refers the issue yo local government. The Govenor then promises to bring the jobs home or was it to import the alien labor force in the future to the dismay of the unions... hmmmm .
This theme is echoed by the terms used by the software industry "beta version and Release verson of software; to Wit; a Microsoft beta version means, Microsoft has isolated a bug in the software is addressing the resolve of the problem as opposed to Release version, Miscrosoft has still got a software problem bug, but the customer is going to pay for the hunt for the solution; Ergo, The Technical Support Professional is born, and the consumer tax dollar goes to kingdom-come and thy will be done.
The way it was... and can be again;
A company must provide for the ability for you to physically pick up an item withn the State and to have a "point of presence" in that State in order to derive the right to charge sales tax, "if" they have a California permit to do so as applies in this example.
Each state has its' own way of dealing with the drainage, the corporate sucks issue. They avoid confronting out-source violators like congress avoids the campaign reform issues, maybe they are oone and the same, the resources move across international borders. Hpshopping.com is said to have such presence in Sunnyvale, California, so states an unnamed employee of Hewlett Packard and Hpshopping.com
To the contrary, and UPON INVESTIGATION OF THE FACTS; Hpshopping.com does not have a permit to collect sales tax nor do they have a direct line telephone to their alleged headquarters in California, nor are they located in Sunnyvale, California as the "consumer / shopper" is led to believe.
In this case HpShopping.com claims that they are represented as headquartered in Sunnyvale California but to date have no telephone number whereby a consumer may resolve issues when purchasing a computer product via telephone or internet. The customer is routed to Nova Scotia or Ontario Canada, where Hpshopping.com seems to nest their sales force.
The tele-service "washing machine" revolves around Hewlett Packard. "Hewlett Packard, " as parent corporate" the claims contact for Hpshopping.com out-sourcing their customer grief in a circle-jerk pass the disgruntled to Hewlett Packard Company in California. HP the parent company denies any obligation to Hpshopping customers in the United States, where any involvement they may have to resolve the issue is a result of an act of no legally binding random benevolent courtesy while they assist in resolution of issues which range from taxation without representation (remember that catch phrase) to refurbished or regurgitated defective products being sold as new to confusing the issues to shift the blame back across the international border.
One begins to wonder about how the Military contracts are handled on a national level; Is Hewlett Packard held to different standards than the consumer???
One would begin to think that one has a better chance of winning the California lottery than getting a computer that does not take 5 months to get one that works. One needs to ponder the fact that this company sells computers to our military.... It might be equally difficult to find where the Scud missile went as to find where or to who your original customized ordered computer went. BlogOneDos poses rhetorically, the question, what has happened to the once great reputation of a company started in 1939?
Then there is Compal, Twinwill, Unwell, Matrix, and Clevo, the 5 major hosts of O.D.M Original Design Manufactured computers, they assemble and ship the high tech marvels of confusions that have more identifying numbers pasted all over the shipping and hardware boxes and devices than India has support professionals who know what they mean and Canada and Mayaysia has to misplace and manipulate them. The computer's are manufactured for almost all international marketing and sales organizations similar in nature to Hewlett Packard. China and Thailand coordinate the parts assembly and then ship to parts he world over to unsuspecting "marks" not having a clue that somewhere in the world someone has waited a month fro a computer that was shipped from the manufacturer from Hell.
As an opinionateur, I ordered a computer delivered with more than 25 identifying bar code numbers not to mention Microsoft's activation numbers which are a sequence of 42 numbers which cause your computer to crash if one does not do as they ordered by Microsoft’s, "Epaulets" to do as the order, with the computer that belongs to the customer but falls under the lisence of a third party software corporate dominance standing behind Hewlett Packard having bought lisences to sell the altered software, tweaked if you will to address the "idiosyncrasies" of a CTO, configured to order computer. Now I thought the Justice department settled this issue some time back... Whom, might be looking the other way on this monopoly issue. Nahhh can't be the Republican's, they never would do that, now, would they.
The "corporate orders are tantamount to "firm-policies" often misinterpreted and
misleading, luring the customer into a deeper morass of financial obligation and time suck than is bargained for. The customer is led to believe that if the OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer's Software (MICROSOFT), if removed from the hardware that the consumer bought and owns, such act will void the extended warranty which explains more fully the Royal screw departments and being disconnected from India where the technical departments are partnered with Microsoft and the Converges Corporation.
The bottom Line... Compag-Hewlett Packard and Hpshopping dot com in the immortal paraphrase of Ralph Nader, Hewlett Packard Corporate and Compaq are "unsafe at any CPU speed..." They do not manufacture the computers that are quality controlled, osupport the problems that arise as a consequence of such loss of corporate control nor offer a price that is worth the nightmare of purchasing one, two three or anything they sell, buy, buy back or foist on the unsuspecting public, not limited to refurbished or regurgitated or offer items in good faith with regard to respect for verbal agreements.
The irony of the issue is that this Blog is written with the aid of 1 out-of-three of the wireless defective keyboards one of 7 defective product(s) returned or are waiting to return and/or replaced.
To be continued: Coupons galore, price drops and return guarentees, discounts and more, corporate waste of shareholders dollars, rebate nightmares and devotees of the virgin of the tight fist, threats of theft and fraud galore, missing computer for 24 hours and more,
WHAT FOLLOWS IS REPRINTED AS RESULT OF A NEED FOR LEVITY IN A WORLD GONE BONKERS - NO BATTERIES NEEDED
Special-reprint ORIGINALLY PULBISHED MARCH 2004 included WITH SKIMMING OF AMERICA and rev 7-14-04
Attending a medical conference at UCLA, while waiting for an associate at the student health service facilities I encountered a deep conceptualization of epiphanolyptic proportions. (Wuz dat mean?)
On the counter in the waiting room next to the "Free take-one" basket of peppermint candies was another basket, also inviting a free offering, containing lightly lubricated condoms. I was not astonished at the concept of contraception. HIV / AIDS anti-conception at all, in fact I am totally in support of such contraceptive concepts. What astounded me was the loss of jobs as a result of the aspects of this marketing scheme and the realization that Arnold, "the-confusinator-Govenor of California" had missed another opportunity to bring employment and business back to California.
So, What in the world is BlogOneDos talking about now, you might inquire.... Please bare with me and the naked facts shall set you free.
You see, the condoms were of the genus "Made in Japan" ... geez, when I was a kid they didn't push free condoms I used to buy for 2 cents, wax teeth, rainbow candy buttons on an endless paper ribbon and two steel balls in a plastic cast of a woman where you had to lift the highly polished slippery steel balls out of the sockets which were so strategically placed as to get guaranteed giggles from any second grader and some perverted college students as well... Millions of those novelty things sold along with top sellers Slinkys' and Nutty Putty.... All the items to the best of my recollection and the present condition of my memory were "Made in Japan". None were free. None were given away at the cafeteria or sold to you along with your milk and icing filled Oreole cookies before your nap time. You paid for the cookie and for the milk.... 5 cents got you the milk and 2 cents got you either a pink icing cookie or an Oreole. No condoms.... but I did know then what a condom was for.
Condoms in the 1950's were used primarily for water balloons thrown from the rooftops at your ... Um... friends.
Today condoms are as commonly accepted as candy and obviously used to reduce the spreading of seed, disease and increase the spreading of legs. Now, what gets me is the concept of globalization here, not the concept of contraception or the lack thereof.... Not only is the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) purchasing or receiving large donations of prophylactics, but strangely enough these free latex quantities of condoms are of foreign manufacture origin, the last laugh is on us taxpaying dolts domestically. Yah hear this Governor Conan the Republican, foreign condom penetration into our college campus infrastrusture.
America is first in space almost first in many other areas of scientific research, a great nation amongst all nations of the global community, great in science and industry and also humanity, but regrettable is that we can no longer "lay" claim to the proclamanation that our domestic condoms can hold water.... We truly have slipped to the level of a second-rate nation when it comes to condoms, we have lost the respect and the envy of all top producing scum bag nations, we are not able to vie for the honor of being a leader among all nations in the race to be first in the lightly lubricated condom race.... On the positive side of the scientific and political coin, our heavy crude condoms are still unchallenged because Washington politicians are more apt to take more seriously the need for greater prophylactic measures regarding their own "condom-iniums" and global oil interests.
I guess, as they say the squeaky wheel gets the heavy crude condom. And lord only knows that type of scum-bag in Washington is needed as often if not more often than on the local level of our colleges and universities ....So, the question be-comes "how come?" How come the Japanese have the juice to get the job of distributing condoms.... On our campus? Was it a matter of academic fairness and equitability, adhered to in the spirit of competitive bidding for best condom on campus the choice of the so to speak, the student body or in light of the hotly contested competitive nature of the bag marketplace for "self-liquidating" promotional free rubbers, was the latex-give-away rights acquired fairly? Was testing of the American rubbers also undertaken at the university or was it a nolo hands down thumbs up ( not going for the humor on this one )award of a contract to the Okamoto scum bag company, you know, like one of those Enron type of "inside jobs" a top secret international intrigue no holds barred, hidden behind closed door administration good- ole' boy trustee decision? Was the free choice issue considered by the legal scum-bag experts in the law department or were they too busy restricting the employment of their students needing jobs to repay their credit card debt? Was ther any quid pro quo made to insist that each condom be imprinted with Go Bruins or did the international scum-bag promoters grease the palm or other organ of an anonymous administrator while the body parts medical research division was selling organs out the front door of the medical research department... Were those used body parts Japanese or American, were they compact or full size organs? Did anyone size up the issue before awarding the concession? Did the enrollment figures of Asian students impact the need for specialized condoms based on how many culturally appropriate prophylactics are available per capita so as to insure the proper fit and quantity and that foreign students are protected from American pastimes of sex drugs and rock n' roll and don't get homesick for nationalistic brands? Will the twang of Asian string instruments replace Rapp at UCLA... Don't they realize that at rival U.S.C., the football team is called... you got it! TROJAN's. Is this incident be-coming, spreading around the globe as an intercollegiate joke... Will this practice give-way to a new meaning for the home coming queen and will that person male or female profess and endorse the trustees choice of scum-bag? Is this the literal end to academic freedoms given way to greed. Today the trustees chose your childrens condoms tomorrow the go so far as to require srudents attend class. What's the world comming to.... we know don't we?
Condom-Gate is filled with international intrigue. As the insiders in the latex bag biz would say, "We do not believe this concept will hold water much longer". We now must watch the unraveling of the events to see if the UCLA - Bruins will yield to the dominance of the Trojans or if the oriental version will gain market position guarding against footballs worst enemy, a quaterback on wheatgerm with a permanent erection.
Now what idiot administrator let the cat out of the promotional bag and allowed Japanese Beyond Seven, Okamoto Industries to get away with defeating TROJAN's on their home turf. (Good God! This is not happening).
The Trojan's lost without a fight.... They layed down and got shafted on this one. I have no idea who has the condom concession at USC but I am sure they have their fair share of scum-bags. But, considering the caliber of intelligence at USC, I do not think that they would be so obscene as to provide anything but Trojans on campus. And more appealing to the USC administrators is the potential if playing their options correctly that they could force the issue of Trojans being freely distributed on the UCLA campus, a "zen-like" promotional coup", if ever I heard one. The more
BlogOneDos thinks of it I would advocate a multiple choice of free condoms maybe even an off-brand type like the cigarette companies provide... They could call it Brand XXX or something cute like Trustree Choice...But I am apprehensive that the condom cup would runneth over and the Universities would be unindated with scum-bags if they were not already so disposed. This could become an international incident of unparalleled proportions.
Are Asians not only getting the top honors and academic spots at the California University as well as the priority marketing access to the freebie candy concessions? What next? Will sushi replace the more "healthy" Big Macs on the college campus and condoms "made in Japan" replace the Three Musketeers in the candy machine or heavens, I shutter to even think of it... Will Salt Plums replace the Milky Way Bars... Ouch? Will there be future political scandals over the Asian clamor for the number one rubber representative at UCLA? Will there be free Hello Kitty Pussy Condoms and tongue piercing campus give-away as the Chinese jockey to stimulate erotic interest pandering to a younger marketplace. Will their be a special Olympics or promotions to see how many administrators can fit in a Japanese condom. We can only wait in a stupified trance as to what is happening in the name of science and industry. Will reality television give way to the Yoshi Trump show... where you get fired if you forgot to fill the Chancler's office condom basket with Japanese ticklers rather than french ticklers? Will our college educated children start at the bottom of the business totem by filling scum bag baskets at night to earn extra money in the quest of climbing the Ivory scum-bag-tower of the university corporate success ladder to the latex board room? Will one lose "face" if they did not use a condom.
As a result of my cognitive epiphany I have decided that I will only take 96 credits next quarter at UCLA. I guess if one hangs out at the candy dish long enough... One finds out where the all the action is and sweets are!!! .....aaaaand what the hell, I can go to school on government grants and get free condoms to boot. Viva Viagra!!!! Free sex and water balloons are here to stay. Good god, I'm free at last.
I now know what Bill Clinton meant when he said it depends what is, IS!
It, IS, anyone's guess... There is nothing right or wrong so long as one wears a condom.... lightly lubricated that is! I am going to push-pin this souvenir to my bulletin board and obviously never use it!
Now, as to address the issues of cloning.... Yip!!! You got it! With all the Asian condoms floating around the American Universities " campus' " another revelation did occur to me, wherein, there is presently a definite necessity to clone a human... Deadly disease such as HIV/AIDS and biological warfare will not stop the human will to survive. We shall "OVERCOME", for sure!!! But, overcome we will, only, provided, we wear an imported designer condom... as opposed to the more common industrial strength Trojan type. Our future relatives will be, so called "hand picked", genetically picked from a candy dish next to the free cloned pecker donation basket. If the pecker doesn't fit get a bigger one or a smaller condom...
What I ultimately object to is that my seed is prevented from finding an egg and government is supporting it with global products. My true procreative purpose in life is being denied, limited, restricted, stifled by a global conspiracy, a multi-national concern that cares not for my sexual prowess nor the creativity in my hands (no pun or innuendo intended), the honesty of my intentions nor the love in my heart. The "com-glomerate" like murder incorporated, snuffs out my seed my immortality, my genius, my individuality. The trend to do so is now unstoppable, selling condoms across international borders like contraband arms or drugs, the scum bag industry is costing us more than jobs. California the world-capital of sexual promiscuity is now taking a back seat to, to god only knows where ...some corporate Nvitro test-tube embryo, the genetic-poster-child of the future. Whom to blame, preempted is the aggressive and non-progressive backward sexual moralism we have been able to demand for the last hundred years. We find ourselves the tail wagged by cultures who find humor in our provincial puritanical concepts of sexuality which have driven American culture for 200 years, we have become the butt of a global cultural sexuality divide.
What dumbfounds me is that the founding "fathers" the authors of constitutional freedoms did not address such conspicuous inhibitions compared to the founding fathers' own expressions of political and economic emancipation. One hundred years from now we may look back and proffer that for the loss of a mother-seed, a plant did not grow and millions starved and for lack of a paternal human seed and the want of an unveiled erection we gave up our true freedom to survive to a bunch of corporate, scum-bag, patent hungry manufacturers. ...and all these impacts stem from the failure of leadership to recognise that Trojans are as American as Apple pie.
Do we now fail to recognise the the historical contribution of the Young Rubber Corporation. Manufacturer as a land mark, the sole distributor from Trenton, NJ. New York, NT. Made in USA. The symbol of safety. The Trojan trademark is registered with the integrity that made America Great. Are we to give in to this assault on American Heritage,,,, Where is Kate Smith to Sing God Bless America when we need her?
First the computer tech support jobs cross the borders to India and Canada and then the American scum-bag industry takes a hike to the Orient, schriveled trojans no longer nevermore nevermore to line the stadium bleachers like peebles in the moonlight of every football field in America, only to yield to the fifty yard line scattered with half eaten Kappa Makki and chop sticks.
We have only to look backward a short distance in time to understand the turning point, gray market steel being sold back in the the U.S. at cheaper prices than we sold it abroad. The 80's, exemplified the destruction of Bethlehem and the United Steel forging American industry's superiority now having been brought to an end. Our neglect for the environment brought us to, as some will remember the Ronald Reagan Great American Cheese Give-Away program. Now that was real hubris and chutzpah, an unheralded compassion for ones fellow man the great Reagan cheese give-away program. One must stop to think, after all ketchup was an acceptable food for school lunches (see how fast we forget in retrospect; ..today's ketchup give-away led to... Tomorrows scum bags.)
And they said in the 60's that smoking dope would lead to greater anti-social behavior. And today we now know the real truth, ketchup f will lead to mustard as a main course meal? Will lightly lubricated condoms be considered desert!
As a society during the Reagan years we were raised, (as in lowered), reaching the depths of mans humanity to man and to imagine such generosity that we shared our excess processed cheese. The United Steel Workers Union, it's members stood on food lines to get five pounds of Velvita Cheese to those who lost their livlihood to the collaspe of the American steel industry.
What next might we imagine ....Preparation H? Will it be made in Cuba, on the one hand, and on-the-other hand I shutter to think will the Global A-Hole lobby dangle then grab for the political gusto of the lower intestinal track in Washington? Will the special interest supporters of the A-Hole industry yield to the campaign contributions and Washington fall prey to the global grab-ass cartel? Will we be electing our next President who has bent over backwards to placate the supository industry. Such penetration into our dwindling job markets cannot be tolerated... After all it was George Bush Jr. who tipped off the America public when he had referred to a journalist as an "a-hole"... George saw the subversive threat, an "a-hole penetration into our media was being foisted upon us". Did he know, when he publicly pointed out to DICK Cheney, a slip of the tongue blurted out in a moment of anger an out-spokenly frustrated remark to Dick Cheney at a political rally, long before he saw the threat of Al Qaida? Both ,Cheney and Georgre Bush knew at once the possible threat of Cuban penetration into our roid marketplace was eminent, Preparation H was out of the box and in the hands of George Bush. Whom else would have known better and signaled the beginning of a war on our domestic markets.
The most poignant question begged at present is whether Condom-lisa Rice had actual and constructive knowledge of domestic penetration by an international scum bags and supositories ring. Do we need a special prosecutor to investigate this breach of national security. Where are our law makers when we need them...... ?
But. Noooooooo you never heard anyone in Washington ever mention one single word about not being prepared to deal with Cuban penetration into our roid markets and the shortage of suppository supplies. We presently have no reserves of Preparation H, we are defenseless, unprepared, prostrated, vulnerable against such assaults coming from our back door neighbor, Cuba; ...If the left-wing global marketeurs unite against our fragile sparse quantities of scum bag supplies our market domination and our backsides are at risk. If this vulnerability continues and is exploited, if the scum bag international cartel merges with the the a-holes of the world then the future seeds of democracy are certainly not prepared for the consequences and impact to capitalism. The history books of the future will recount how we sat on our asses watching imported televisions while we lost market share and world financial dominance to anal relief programs promoted with commercials designed and produced by Japanese owned and dominated "American" Advertising agencies. We have become the ultimate global whores by now giving them the campus condom concession so that our children can screw themselves appropriately into extinction after our competition genetically engineers the next cyborg / human frontier.
So whose got the "GET"?
What really gets me, what I really detest and object to is body parts being profitably marketed at the expense of the taxpayer... while our kids become addicted to candy and free prophylatics while committing to repaying massive government loans and swelling credit card debt acquired on-campus as they the innocent children barely grasping true understanding, of the rudiments of the world politics which seek to impact and deny their procreative rights under the watchful eye of a human chop-shop operation at taxpayer expense handing kidneys, hearts and livers across the candy and condom filled counters of our Universities. That gets me.
Now, if Arnold can bring the condom business back to America and protect California from the emerging preparation H indusrtry developing at our back door from Cuba or South America, rather than purchasing Havana Cigars for his oppulent use he will have served his political purpose and his promise to the California voters and their trust in giving Arnold $17 billion in a recent California Bond issue to stave the loss of income derived from loss of tax revenues. Arnold, is supposed to be pro education, and he has much to be educated about... but first the veil of the condom must be removed from his head.
Can you begin to imagine. All those scum-bags, the loss of another home grown industry, jobs and world prestige, the condom, an American heritage icon of the 60's, the era of burn your bra and pass the condom (or was that pass the joint), another lost industry taking flight abroad while I am still looking for ....(okay get ready, here it comes, now for the literary artistic free license, get ready for the punch line and please forgive my political incorrectness, it seemed to fit at the moment.... while I am still looking for "a ......Broad...!!!!"
Till the next time.... keep thinking! See you in a nanosecond! ....And in the immortal words of Rose Rosanna Dana... If the shoe doesn't fit.... nevermind, the condom will! and in the words of ol Skull n' Bones, George Bush as paraphrased ....Let them eat cake ...and if they don't... electrocute 'em.

Will the special interest supporters of the A-Hole industry yield to the campaign contributions and Washington fall prey to the global grab-ass cartel? Will we be electing our next President who has bent over backwards to placate the supository industry. Such penetration into our dwindling job markets cannot be tolerated... After all it was George Bush Jr. who tipped off the America public when he had referred to a journalist as an "a-hole"... George saw the subversive threat, an "a-hole penetration into our media was being foisted upon us". Did he know, when he publicly pointed out to DICK Cheney, a slip of the tongue blurted out in a moment of anger an out-spokenly frustrated remark to Dick Cheney at a political rally, long before he saw the threat of Al Qaida? Both ,Cheney and Georgre Bush knew at once the possible threat of Cuban penetration into our roid marketplace was eminent, Preparation H was out of the box and in the hands of George Bush. Whom else would have known better and signaled the beginning of a war on our domestic markets.
The most poignant question begged at present is whether Condom-lisa Rice had actual and constructive knowledge of domestic penetration by an international scum bags and supositories ring. Do we need a special prosecutor to investigate this breach of national security. Where are our law makers when we need them...... ?
But. Noooooooo you never heard anyone in Washington ever mention one single word about not being prepared to deal with Cuban penetration into our roid markets and the shortage of suppository supplies. We presently have no reserves of Preparation H, we are defenseless, unprepared, prostrated, vulnerable against such assaults coming from our back door neighbor, Cuba; ...If the left-wing global marketeurs unite against our fragile sparse quantities of scum bag supplies our market domination and our backsides are at risk. If this vulnerability continues and is exploited, if the scum bag international cartel merges with the the a-holes of the world then the future seeds of democracy are certainly not prepared for the consequences and impact to capitalism. The history books of the future will recount how we sat on our asses watching imported televisions while we lost market share and world financial dominance to anal relief programs promoted with commercials designed and produced by Japanese owned and dominated "American" Advertising agencies. We have become the ultimate global whores by now giving them the campus condom concession so that our children can screw themselves appropriately into extinction after our competition genetically engineers the next cyborg / human frontier.
So whose got the "GET"?
What really gets me, what I really detest and object to is body parts being profitably marketed at the expense of the taxpayer... while our kids become addicted to candy and free prophylatics while committing to repaying massive government loans and swelling credit card debt acquired on-campus as they the innocent children barely grasping true understanding, of the rudiments of the world politics which seek to impact and deny their procreative rights under the watchful eye of a human chop-shop operation at taxpayer expense handing kidneys, hearts and livers across the candy and condom filled counters of our Universities. That gets me.
Now, if Arnold can bring the condom business back to America and protect California from the emerging preparation H indusrtry developing at our back door from Cuba or South America, rather than purchasing Havana Cigars for his oppulent use he will have served his political purpose and his promise to the California voters and their trust in giving Arnold $17 billion in a recent California Bond issue to stave the loss of income derived from loss of tax revenues. Arnold, is supposed to be pro education, and he has much to be educated about... but first the veil of the condom must be removed from his head.
Can you begin to imagine. All those scum-bags, the loss of another home grown industry, jobs and world prestige, the condom, an American heritage icon of the 60's, the era of burn your bra and pass the condom (or was that pass the joint), another lost industry taking flight abroad while I am still looking for ....(okay get ready, here it comes, now for the literary artistic free license, get ready for the punch line and please forgive my political incorrectness, it seemed to fit at the moment.... while I am still looking for "a ......Broad...!!!!"
Till the next time.... keep thinking! See you in a nanosecond! ....And in the immortal words of Rose Rosanna Dana... If the shoe doesn't fit.... nevermind, the condom will! and in the words of ol Skull n' Bones, George Bush as paraphrased ....Let them eat cake ...and if they don't... electrocute 'em.
