Salesforce has been a favorite over at CNBC Kramer for probably 10 years.
Many of Silicon Valley companies who have been hiding their uber-left beliefs are now going public as they have nothing to fear.

The GOP-e has no idea what is going on.
I tried to explain it to them in 2006-2008.

Its far, far worse than is being reported.
This is the real plan for “Net Neutrality” and why Silicon Valley was pushing for it.

In all of your reading and studying the present social/political/economic/Christian landscape, I am sure that you, too, have missed a trick or two, or brushed by a fact or event and then forgotten it.

It happens to the best of us. There is more to be known out there than any one of us can digest.

And I take for granted that there are numerous smartass people here on FReeper who have not yet achieved the tact it takes to assume that perhaps the person you are addressing is, in fact, well-informed and worth knowing as a friend.

No need to burn bridges. We need each other.

My conservative memory works well.

He’s as sloppy and unkempt as Michael Moore.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff:

“You better consider the economic consequences of your social and political advocacy”

Their past will decide their future. And it does not look bright.

I am not taking up for Pence at all, but if I understand what SalesForce is and does, Pence had a lot to worry about beyond the CEO of SalesForce.

Recently I read a story about SalesForce. That story explained what they do for the retail industry. If the story is correct, they manage inventory, sales, restocking purchases and about every other financial activity of a business subscriber.

If I understand what they do, they are the reason that retailers such as Northern Tools can do what they did for me this morning. I am interested in an item they carry and I wanted to know if the local store has it on the shelf. When I put in my zip code, the answer came up that they do have one on the shelf and within a 100 mile radius there were at least 20 stores listed with one in stock.

No, I did not count them but it did look like that many.

SalesForce is so deep into the retail market that any store who gets bumped will spend thousands of dollars and many man hours getting something set up to replace them.

Remember when linux first began its entry into the desktop market? Microsoft had hundreds of applications that were not available in linux. Software developers were not allowed to write software for linux if they were selling to Microsoft. It took me a long time to get a satisfactory pedigree program for my animals. A long time to get one for my personal finances.

Financial programs were available for the really big guys at a cost of thousands of dollars, but nothing like the personal programs for individual use.

Now there are some very good ones.

Now we can do anything on Linux that we can do on windoze, but it took years to get here.

It looks like SalesForce will fight its competition the same way as windoze....force vendors to write only for SalesForce.

I deal with several companies that do it all on paper...absolutely nothing on a computer.

But the chain stores are built on instant gratification.

My only point is that Pence could be excused for losing his nerve, although he made a big mistake in doing so.

SalesForce is extremely dangerous. Linked up with the banks, credit card companies and lending institutions they can destroy any business and any activity and the story I read stated that to be the goal.

Fishing, hunting, auto racing, books.....who knows?

The firing squads on Free Republic are, regrettably, often circular.

Exactly.

Let conservative states pre-emptively ban SalesForce. Certainly do not allow any contracts or licenses with their own state governments.

Switch government over to Oracle, SAP or Microsoft Dynamics.

“”” It took me a long time to get a satisfactory pedigree program for my animals. “””

Name of the program please? I run linux and we’ll be raising meat goats soon. I’m undecided as to whether I want to just take them to the sales barn or get really fine animals to start with and focus on breeding and selling to private individuals as purebred.

Either way, I have to keep track of breeding.

This guy is so full of himself he'll destroy himself but too stupid to know it

Looking to kill business with states and businesses you depend on for your own business success is certain death.

It's only a matter of time.
