IBM helping out the Nazis is pretty par for the course
Still, “under $2,000” for a corporation of that size is a surprisingly low amount, compared to the others. Not even worth the negative publicity. Odd choice.
Ah, a history joke! Don't forget Coke(Fanta)! Also, the history of Volkswagon is pretty interesting.
The surprising part is, despite everything Henry Ford believed, I don't remember ever hearing Ford being on that list.
We have Teslawagan and Xoebbels now as well
I get the first one.......no idea what the second references. It sounds like if something from transformers were crossed with the matrix, and handled by santa claus.
Which if that existed sounds kind of terrifying.
Goebbels plus X/Twitter. Goebbels was Hitler's propagandist
There's also Hugo Boss.
When Hitler needed to track the unwanted in his concentration camps, IBM was there.
Today, Trump has selected IBM due to our experience in this field of Fascism.
FYI: while this is not true, I'm sure most Americans will believe it.
