Thought for the Day:

Did you ever notice that the worst market worshipping-libertarian hotbed-hi tech companies inevitably have the worst security departments? By this I mean that it's a Kafkesque nightmare in extremis to get a properly working ID badge or worse get one replaced? Apparently, there are, in contravention of libertarian dialectics some things the free market cannot liberate.
I worked for one of these god-awful outfits for years and the sheer suffering required to get a functioning badge is not to be believed. Then they got acquired by a big name playa in the industry and suddenly the badging process became economical and timely.
Dunno what made me think of that today...
