Oracle remains one of very few tech companies to remain silent on the immigration/ entry ban. Shameful pandering. Total greed by the three stooges. Especially SC ought to know better given her family history.

More and more similarities between Trump and the three stooges emerging daily: racist anti-immigrant position and suppression of news - Oracle on layoffs and product EOL, Trump on all his problems, so the same for both
Oracle leadership lacks morals and ethics and the guts to stand up to Trump, doesn't get more complicated that that
Here's the useful left again: "Sure, and you are paying for the wall. Right? Because I sure don't believe in it and so shouldn't have to pay for that nonsense." Most nations need to protect their borders have walls and Mexico will pay for the wall. Works well in eastern Europe, the US even sent wall building materials to several nationals when refugees from Syria were making their way through Europe. Now ex President Obama had a brick wall built around his rented home in D.C. Walls don't work? You can put up all the people here illegally...
If you believe in anything else, you pay their bill and or support them.
Sure, and you are paying for the wall. Right? Because I sure don't believe in it and so shouldn't have to pay for that nonsense. And a million other things I don't believe in.
I can't believe we have such "smart" people at O.
America take care of your own. The United States had a immigration ban from 1924 until 1965 so immigrates would assimilate into America. President Trump did the right thing. Americans make America great, immigrates help. To say anything else, move to Vietnam or Cuba.
Who cares about the presidents order, oh if it only saves one life then we should do it.
Who cares, America first!!! My god we have a lot of more pressing issues than protesting this.
97 Tech co's have signed a brief to the 9th Circut arguing against the ban - and Oracle? No, not one of the participants/ signers. Does that tell you everything you need to know about how LE, MH, and SC feel about immigration and immigrants? I think so!
Should have done something 5years ago, now chicken came home to roost. He is Hillary support turned trump supporter.
So while CEOs of other major companies, tech and non tech, continue to speak out against the ban and continue to defend American values of inclusions, the three stooges continue to stay silent and hide like a bunch of scared mice. Not a single quote from any the three in the media indicating any concerns nor any affirmation of our values of inclusion. To call this conduct spineless and quite frankly contemptible would be the understatement of the decade. Shameful!
I think sending a letter to the president will do tons of good. Better yet go protest and burn down Berkley, and omg a Starbucks was vandalize. These right wing nuts destroying stuff, a left wing person wouldn't even do such a thing. Their tolerant of everyone that agrees with them, try disagreeing your Starbucks might get fire bombed. The hell , the hell. I'm going to my safe place now.
Tech companies should help President Trump with the ban, so we can keep Americans employed instead of outsourcing to H1B visa peoples. Plus it's the liberal thing to do.
Uber CEO leaving Trump's council - good doe him! et tu SC what is your relationship with DJT going to be going forward ?
By the way, the draft letter is out, you can google it. See what you think
This is not about being Republican or Democrat, it's about basic human values and treating other human beings with respect. And helping those who need help.
DJT has everyone talking about immigration again, brilliant move on his part. Hail Pelosi.
I think tech companies need to support the ban, it's the American thing to do.
Hillary would of been better, maybe to the people of California. The rest of the country don't like, want to be like and really don't care for California politics. You've don't a great job thus far with Pelosi, Finestein amd Boxer. Hell, DJT is a racist, climate dynier, bigot and every phobe there is (if I've forgot a name please respond) yet he won. I did find it amuzing that people on the left keep thinking as they do. Have you ever known a happy liberal/progressive? Some democrats seem to be happy, liberal/ progressives don't even deserve to be called democrat. The democrat party had been a party of the worker, now its the nut job party of the rich. The only cities that democrats control that have done well, NYC and parts of the valley. You're blessed with good employment and a lot of rich people. Try moving or looking at other parts of the country instead of the left and right coast. Remember - most people that have a room temperature IQ don't qualify to a liberal/progressive.
Tech companies consider joint letter to Trump opposing travel ban - this is the ultimate test for the three stooges, will they sign it or not? Looks like google, MSFT, amazon, eBay, and uber will!
Can't avoid moral issues, you're in or you're out!
Trump's ban isn't make the US more secure, it is simple preventing people who were vetted under an alrwady very tight vetting process from entering the country, some for urgent medical care. As for trying to prevent people who hold green cards to enter back into the US where they live, work and where their families are, plain insane. Clearly the Trump administration doesn't know what it's doing. But hay, it looks great on tv and fools all those Trump supporters.
Hey DJT supporters, there is no need for Trump to engage in racism to keep the country secure. The sveeening process was vet tight already - how many terrorist attacks have had on the use by people from those countries? Ah, zero! Also, the ban is clearly ill concenoved, put on place on a great rush and quite frankly is causing more harm then good.
As for all the protests, did you notice people protesting at airports all over the country, not only CA? That's right.
What are people protesting against? We've seen this movie before and we know how it ends - just watch/ read about the rise of Hitler. That's why this is important, we don't need a repeat. You wouldn't like it either Trump supporters! Nothing good about dictators.
Some of the fifteen or so post are mine. So all you liberals, we beautiful people and know what's best for America... I say, Trump is the president for four years and it's funny to watch your heads explode. Hail Pelosi, please keep her in office. We have actual parties watching her go over policies, my god. The people of San Fransisco are better than this. What a pretty city, simply messed up by a interesting government. Reflect and Trump is the president. For us people in fly over country, please keep doing what you're doing. Not a clue. Now make sure you comment on spelling, punctuation and over all engrish. All hail Pelosi, she is the gift that really keeps on giving and Senator Finestien, what can you say? "Nut Job" Hopefully we have a massive earth quake turns Nevada into beach front property... Please keep on doing what you're doing, the theater works for all of us in fly over country. Electoral college, founding fathers, mothers and LGBTQ members of America put in place. There I covered all that might care. Live long and prosper, Spock would love Trump.
On the flip side, being a person outside of the California experiment. If you want to let people in the country that we can not vet, you take responsibility for them. Put them up in your house, cover their expenses. 99.9 percent of the people coming in are going to be just fine, but that .001 percent, you don't know. Look at Europe, Germany and Sweden, some serious issues. I love to have help people, but we need to be careful, 90 to 120 days is nothing really. I'd say give the policy a chance, doing what we've been doing for the last 50 years has not worked. If TRUMP ends up being a total failure, vote him out. But California has a lot of problems, hence the post on this board. Reality does not work. That's why the electoral college kicked in. So we people in fly over country have a voice, thank god...
If president Trump was to ban people because of color and other factors, then Oracle may want to say something. But the US government ask people what their asking for political and or religious asylum? I know, I went through it. Being from Iraq, it's part of the process. They did ask my religious background, it's part of the process of entry and asylum in this great country. If you think it's so bad here, move to Iraq. I have property you can rent.
Oracle should say nothing, no laws have been broken...
Trump supporter here; clear the air. The president has every legal right to place a ban on the seven countries identified by the Obama administration. It's a 90 to 120 day immigration ban from these seven countries that have no stable government or have issues with the US. So protecting Americans is bad? You people need to wake the hell up. After 90 to 120 days, all of you people against the travel ban will not even remember there was one in place. So deal with it, it's happening and nothing you can do about it. This is exactly why the Democrats lost and have been for the last 8 years. When a non Republican that ran on the Republican ticket wins and takes PA, WI and MI. Do the math... Bernie the socialist, which has never had a private sector job, buys a house on lake Champlain after the election and wants to be of the people and provide free everything. Sure is easy to give away other peoples money! Dude, wake the hell up.
Oracle's silence on this point when others like Amazon and Google are speaking up loudly and visibly against the ban, sure speaks volumes. No doubt where LE, SC, MH and TK stand on this one
Since the Supreme Court in Citizens United affirmed the rights of corporations to make political expenditures under the First Amendment, I see no reason why they shouldn't also speak out with words.
Of course, silence is also a message.
The temporary band is simply that temporary, as the US government evaluates their processes. I think we should tear down the TSA and replace it with something less costly and more effective. But executives committing on public policy, I wouldn't if I was LE or SC...
You would also think that people like SC and TK would have very personal reasons based on their personal experience and those of their families to relate to the issues and stand for something other than personal greed
That would be a cause of this tjonk called moral fabric, integrity, what our country stands for, because they know history and understand what happens when people do 't speak up ..... that said you're absolutely correct all the three stooges care about is the money, we call that immoral greed
Why should CEOs speak about immigration, could hurt stock price and create a back lash. On the flip, side... and I don't agree, Trump has the legal right to put a temp travel ban in place.
Oracle favors highering Asian Indians over all others, so they care about immigrants. H1B1 baby... Hillary should won, hail Pelosi.
Keep everyone out, we've got enough people. No more future democrats. Fix our problems first then help others, kick all progressives out. Their the cancer of the country, move to Europe. Hail Pelosi...
Nice to see that so many other CEOs have spoken up in support of immigrants, embarrassing and shameful that LE, SC, MH, TK have not. They obviously don't care about anybody else but themselves and their bank accounts.
Well, the nut's rants are gone, and the fact that none of the three stooges and TK have stood up and been heard about the travel ban is quite something, you can't get more spineless than that. Greed, greed, and more self absorbed greed!
To you, 3rd grade liberal. Alll you know how to do is put people down, to third grade kids - pay no attention to this useful idiot. All the left can do is try to put you down. Pathetic. All hail Pelosi...
I really need to apologize. To all 3rd graders, who I inadvertently put on the same education level as you.
I guess Trump is right; when I look at your writing, it is time we make a America great again.
Dude - what are you on?
Window into a distraught soul, almost funny, but not, just sad. Oracle is still spineless
