"That's a Nice Business You Have There. You Should Lobby More."

we need more lobbying.

So say our political masters, anyway. Here the Examiner quotes Politico:

While Apple’s success has earned rock-star status in Silicon Valley, its low-wattage approach in Washington is becoming more glaring to policymakers…

So?

”The industry had an attitude that government should do what it needs to do but leave us alone,” complains one Hill technology staffer. ”Their hands-off approach to Washington will come back to haunt them.”

That remark was made about Microsoft in the late 1990's.

If you can't see the horse's head in the room, you have a problem.
