There is nothing I have to say about lynda.com that wasn't resolved when it was purchased by linkedin.com. The people who cut open the lock on my storage locker in Beaumont Texas know who they are, and the locals made business difficult for the previous owners after those sorts of business practises were revealed to be the usual way that that management did its business. This made it a difficult branch of business for linkedin to manage. I like Microsoft. The management of lynda did not. I got more benefits from being a Microsoft groupie than I did as a so-called worker for lynda. My work is self evident, the surly and covert espionage activities of the company eventually did it in. I got ten dollars and a few bottles of water for the equivalent of a few master's degrees of paperwork, which I was unable to sell to another company. Microsoft knows how to use covert espionage just like the individuals who also have a lot of ongoing grievances with small businesses to this day do. Google and Yahoo also have browsers, it is 2019, not 1998 - although, the Brother International Corporation no longer offers its own operating system. I am not a government agent, thus I am not addressing government topics. The government is not private industry. "The government" is the United Nations, based in Geneva and New York, by the way. The United Nations has a few file numbers and case numbers at their offices for my experiences with that company.
