[Novalug] Off-topic -- Job market -- Current state of -- Was "SSN use"

[jerry w]

Not that I can work (i'm really am disabled,
my whining on lists aside),
but I had the impression that
the new dem administration was more open
source friendly, and we were doing well
market share wise with linux vs m$,
and that M$ jobs were just use
our product, then get the execs
to pay our extortionist M$ costs
per license, per seat in a company
for all our tech, and you get a M$/ Gates
level salary (can that be considered a
kickback? and prosecuted?),
or are all the MOUS certified
glorified secretaries that
M$ Potential grants disabled
(and others) people a marketing
lie?
