He didn't blame it on Google, which suggests a very strong inability on your part to read. And the fact that you ignore the squeeze on basic freedoms in the U.S. over the last eight years suggests either woeful ignorance on your part, or typical Republican jingoism.

Not cool.

Unfortunately, Google seems to be going the way of America: descent into mediocrity, if not lower.

Google is the subject matter. If he hates the United States for whatever reason, then there's no reason to bring it up as a reason to not work at google per se. Just the typical airing out of grievances that he's been brainwashed into. I wouldn't particularily care for living in...oh, I don't know, Canada...but it wouldn't keep me from taking a job offer that I otherwise wanted. Jesus, there are people moving to UAE for jobs. UAE!

Strawman. He said "the US Senate voted away the right of Habeas Corpus". This is false. I pointed out that it was false. I did not say that there has been no "squeeze" on basic freedoms blah blah blah.
