yesterday. She wanted my company's business. I've met her before and her company provides a moderately good service. I've sent some business her way in the past.
But yesterday I was taken by surprise.
She presented me with a new business card and right at the top in bold black letters was
stamped GE.
I asked her if her company was purchased by GE.
She said, "Yes, isn't that great?"
I said, "No, that's not great. I really don't want to do business with a company that doesn't pay a fair share of taxes."
"Not only that," I said, "but I don't want to do business with a company that is buying up other companies with money gained from not paying their fair share of taxes."
