Adobe, another one of those "buy and squeeze the juice out until it dies" companies.

I can't really see an easy way to allow good companies to flourish, and ones which are malign in this way to not, but companies like Adobe, Broadcom, Oracle need to just be destroyed.

The problem is it doesn't even die because Adobe pretty much have a monopoly in the serious design market.

With broadcom I don't really understand what their business is. I thought they were making SoCs and peripheral chips but now they seem to dabble in everything intent on screwing it up.

And Oracle has been dead a long time. They just get by on some legacy corporate stuff. Everyone hates them due to how they treat their 'customers' (victims is a better word) so everyone who could escape already has.

IBM and Dell should also be long gone by now, according to a laymen's understanding of their businesses. Unfortunately, business doesn't operate according to Internet forum ~/vibes/~, even though the stock market sometimes does. Comcast and Spirit airlines as well, based on customer satisfaction. But here we are. Unless we can coordinate, and designate, say March 20th as "pull your money out of Bank of America day", and get enough people to do something, corporations aren't remotely even going to notice you exist.
