If your business plan is "Oh noes, Obama wins the election, I'M GOING TO PULL A MADAGASCAR AND SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING!!!!!!?!?!!", then that's not a plan. That's a panic reaction. If Steve Jobs had gone "I'm shutting down Apple if Romney wins because ZOMG REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!", we'd all be calling him shit-for-brains. You didn't see Lucas or Soros or Gates shutting down because of Bush. You didn't see the Koch brothers or Murdoch shut down their industries because of Obama - and you won't see them do that if Obama wins this election either.

So it's less a matter of me not liking his plan than saying "You're a fucking idiot with no real business sense." And I think Murdoch agrees with me, or he'd be following this guy's lead.
