I don't understand this article. I thought Wal-Mart/Sam's Club was a store, not a software/hardware development company.
Are we only a few short years away from the global corporation that owns everything including all of us? |

Short answer: yes
The main characters' names are Hack Nike and Jennifer Government... because they work for Nike and the government respectively.

Is that guy even president or doing anything? All I see are articles about all his appointees withdrawing their nominations. |
