Yep. The GOP is California is a joke.
In primaries they will go whole hog in support of liberals running against conservatives because they say they wont win.
As a voter why on earth would you vote for a liberal Republican when there is a liberal democrat already in office.
As far as HP goes, I am glad my husband isn’t there any longer.
Fortunately he hooked up with guys he worked with for over 20 years as they are working on a start up, he says its just like the early days of HP.

I’m happy to hear that he’s doing a startup with good people.

The one downside to startups at our age is that we can’t put in the 20-hour-days week after week.

The upside to startups at our age is that we’re oh-so-much smarter about the money side of the game than we were as young engineers, and we’re not as likely to be taken to the cleaners by VC’s or angels.

At some point, engineers oughta get together and write a book about “HP - what we lost” about what HP was like and how influential it was to American EE’s in the 60’s through 90’s and what we lost when Fiorina was allowed to wreck the institution. It would be of some benefit to put this out there so that political hacks like Fiorina are given the black eyes they so richly deserve.
