Large corporations are turning the internet into a ghetto

In their attempt to monetize sites with previously minimal yet relevant information, companies are resorting to plastering non-relevance into excess pixel real estate at alarming new heights. They create java popups right on top of the info you are trying to access. Then they wondering what happened to their viewership after users decide to find another resource for their data. And the advertiser is wondering what happened to all those eyeballs the company was promising.

Dial up internet service is pretty much useless nowadays, it shouldn't be.

Where's the beef?

The US has now established global industries mandating mal-nutrition built upon a backbone of slavery. Why are Americans ill in light of such great medical knowledge and technology?

Consumers aint idiots

Corporations can blame themselves for the recent consumer boycott. They have been inflating prices well beyond the usual norms and telling us how energy costs forced their hand. What is the excuse now with oil prices at $50? Cash flows for paying off the credit more important then earnings through reasonable margins and moderate growth?

I still hear GOP executives tauting the voodoo of lower taxes yet I don't see them lowering prices on the goods and services they sell to the taxpayer. Even sadder, quality went out the door last century.

Where is the outrage?
