Alcoa Inc., Hewlett-Packard and Bank of America Corp. will be dropped from the Dow Jones Industrial Average next week, in the biggest shake-up of the 30-stock index in almost a decade.Not that much was to be expected from a corporation that hired Carly Fiorina as CEO.
And followed that hiring & firing by picking up another loser, Meg Whitman, who had already fucked up ebay & lost the 2010 California gubernatorial election to ancient & recycled Gov. Jerry Brown.In 2005, Fiorina was forced to resign as chief executive officer and chairman of HP following "differences [with the board of directors] about how to execute HP's strategy."
In 2008, Fiorina served as an advisor to Republican presidential candidate John McCain. In 2010, Fiorina waged an unsuccessful challenge against incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer of California in a 2010 Senate election.
Jesus, if either of these corporate fascists were general officers & had such a record of failure they would have been forced to retire, & at a considerable reduction in pension. (Most reasonable people agree that w/ such a record HP's Board of Capitalist Dimbulbs should be taken out & shot. Bullets, not votes.)
And while we're schadenfreuding, fuck Bank of America all the way up Giannini's rotting ass.
*Bullshit. Justice will not have been done until all Hewlett-Packard facilities are smoking ruins & most of the employees (All of the "exempt" employees.) have been savagely tortured by the Asian wage-slaves the corporation has been exploiting for yrs. Mere prison time & /or execution is no longer enough to satisfy us. Punishment must be administered.
