Karma and
the failures
of Facebook
D
oes it not seem ironic
that so many people
are ranting about
Facebook’s poor IPO … on
Facebook? I mean, the mere fact
you use that social outlet to do
your venting only points out your
need for it. It’s kind of like voting
for a candidate you violently
oppose, you know, just to teach
him the error of his ways.
Now, I saw “The Social Network,” so I learned a few bad
things about Facebook’s leader.
And I am also reasonably inept
with using Facebook, so I would
hardly care if the whole thing just
went away. In fact, considering
the above, and my innate
resentment of anyone who makes
a lot more money than I do, I will
admit to really enjoying
Facebook’s IPO flop.
Whoohoo! In your face! Take
that ego-boy!
But, you always have to be
careful what you wish for … and
what goes around, comes around
… and, boing, apparently
Facebook’s IPO flop will put
billions of dollars less in our
state’s coffers than anticipated —
which will negatively impact our
lives on several fronts.
So, Facebook’s pain becomes
our pain.
