The Third Depression →
soupsoup:
We are now, I fear, in the early stages of a third depression. It will probably look more like the Long Depression than the much more severe Great Depression. But the cost — to the world economy and, above all, to the millions of lives blighted by the absence of jobs — will nonetheless be immense.
And this third depression will be primarily a failure of policy. Around the world —...

As such we (and many other people around the world) feel that Google needs to be held to the same standards as individual members of...

The only way to change human behaviors is to design awesome things that people love. Do you want people to eat less McDonalds? Design a tastier, healthier restaurant.
