I have rejected a job-proposal before they rejected my application: a German company.

Although I was not living in one of the countries that they used to sell their “systems” to.

We must give up identifying malice with any country or people. It has never made sense in the first place. Shoot me otherwise. You are late with that, too.

As a 100% American, I support that concept when it comes to Software (not just the OS).
