Per Morningstar, Paul Jacob's comp in 2014 was $57 million! In 2012 it was $21 million, in 2013 it was $20 million. The father built a great company but now it is being looted. Hard working people who helped build that wealth are being axed all in the name of greed. Irwin Jacobs does not care, he is concerned with the politics of Israel. JANA hedge fund director Barry Rosenstein is getting rich too, he has a $147 million home in the Hamptons. How much do these greedy people need? How many more cars, or more homes, or more fancy jewelry and furs for their women? Meanwhile people will lose their homes and families disrupted. It is time for a return to Christian ethics on which this great land was founded. The book of Matthew says "do not store for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." The greedy elites need to scale back their looting or social unrest will result. Also, Jacobs/Qcomm in 2000 supported normalized trade (PNTR) with China, a nation that is committing cultural genocide in Tibet. Where are the ethics? I long for the days of Henry Ford and Andrew Carnegie, they gave back to society and paid men a fair wage, they were true Americans.

If paul is looting his father's fortune and father is hand in glove with him then nothing wrong
It's not his father's fortune but public money
Your description of Paul looting his father's fortunes is apt!
Give me a break. This is not a religious issue. This is about corporate greed in this country. You ever here of General Dynamics? They use to be the biggest employer of engineers in San Diego, now Kearney Mesa is a sad place. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYBODYS RELIGION. Job security in any company is a thing of the past.
You can comment on Qualcomm, but don't drag Tibet into this. I assume all your information comes from western media, you probably never went there due to your busy Qualcomm work. While all over the world advanced on technology and enjoyed the better living, how can you ask Tibet to keep as so called "paradise" to western folks. Before 1949, you may not know 95 % population are slaves to the seldom. That is the culture. Sexual abuse in monasteries and oppressive feudalism in traditional Tibetan society were common. Is that the culture you want to keep?
As chinese and been to Lhasa before, all my Tibetan friends know they hv more privilege than the majority Han Chinese. They have lower score to enter the university, and their kids have more choice to schools. In Tibet, you have more chance to be promoted as Tibetan. You might say this is to force them merging to chinese culture, but let me tell you the current native culture is way better after dump all the slave shit.
Tibet seems like as a celestial paradise held in chains, but the west's tendency to romanticise the country's Buddhist culture has distorted our view. Popular belief is that under the Dalai Lama, Tibetans lived contentedly in a spiritual non-violent culture, uncorrupted by lust or greed: but in reality society was far more brutal than that vision.
Talking genocide, look what Indians have today, Casino. They lost motivation to keep up with the world with that easy money. Slowly that is all they will have. That is true genocide. How many can still speak the language?
So on the side of your busy Qualcomm life, trying to travel and read more might help to expand your future career.
humiliating!
