  Trump is pretty busy right now with the transition. I wonder if he'll even have time to read it or have it read to him.

  Does Trump's taxation threat also apply to IBM Watson taking over real peoples' jobs? I wonder.

  Agreed, although perhaps she doesn't expect Trump to read it but expects an advisor to. She certainly doesn't want any 35% tax levy. I wonder if we'll ever hear about the next phase of this.

  'IBM and the Holocaust' by Edwin Black

  Revealed how IBM was complicit in helping the Nazi's kill their victims in a more organized manner. Bravo for IBM, always coming up with solutions to customers problems. I wrote a letter to IBM a few years ago asking if they were prepared to or even would give thought to compensating victims whose suffering they profited from. Never got a reply.

  '...the company that for more than 105 years has believed that prosperity and progress can be achieved by unleashing the potential of all people...'

  Even the Nazi's. They are were people too.

  To me, it's a good letter - good tone and very constructive.
