Microsoft. Facebook. Amazon. Wal-Mart. As others have pointed out, Equifax. Adobe. I could go on...


You are being pedantic and a know-it-all. You know very well what was meant by that. Just consider the comment to apply to all the the monopolistic cartel technology world dominating corporate companies. They are all part of the same world dominating corporation system that colludes in Davos and through the various other secret groups, as much as they even collude in public to conspire against us all, regardless of whether one thinks one is in their good graces by doing their will.


My apologies if I came across as pedantic or a know-it-all. I was thinking that, of all of the big companies that could be buying a stake in ADT, this is actually one of the more competent ones, which is a good thing. Also, plenty of other big companies with even more of a record of bad behavior. So, it was intended as a face-value statement.


Because of their success these companies also get the most scrutiny (see house investigation/hearings last week). One foul step and its a PR disaster, impending regulations, boycotts, etc. Are you sure you'd prefer your convenience to come from smaller companies that garner less attention?

Which 'secret groups' are you referring to?
