Althouse: "Eight staffers at Cory Booker's tech start-up have started looking for new jobs as the company is expected to shutter."

August 9, 2013

"Eight staffers at Cory Booker's tech start-up have started looking for new jobs as the company is expected to shutter."

"The video aggregation company is said to be losing cash quickly and it is supposedly being kept alive through early November so that it's closure doesn't hurt Booker's chances at winning the New Jersey Senate race."

(We were talking about Booker and his company Waywire yesterday, here.)

Shows politicians couldn't do squat of anything except to confiscate and send our money to their cronies.; 8/9/13, 5:09 PM

New Jersey avoided the worst of the real estate bubble and crash, has a workforce that's more highly educated and skilled than in most states, and is the nation's - perhaps the world's - center of the pharmaceutical industry, a rapidly growing and technologically advanced industry full of high-paying jobs.

David said...: So it's not a bribe but a plot to destroy Booker? That will be the Daily Kos line.

Has Booker been paid anything? Just what did the creative core of this disaster do?

Not that I question his judgment or anything, but wow this is stupid.; 8/9/13, 9:28 PM
