CV of new man

Bristol Myers Squibb, gigantic player in the "health care" industry that perpetually produce higher-priced meds that never cure a damned thing but make absolutely certain that millions continue to be dependent on their products...

GM, the bunch that make Humvees for the US Military and collaborate with the petroleum industry in preventing any reasonable alternative to smog-belching contraptions that everyone "must" have to support their lifestyle...

Disney, a major force in the disinformation, er, I mean "media" industry (not to mention purveyors of various ofther fantasy worlds)...

And now "chief information officer" at microsoft. Yep, sounds like a natural progression to me.
