While looking for a company to work for in Baltimore area, I looked at all local hi-tech companies that have a website. For me it was surprising to see that some companies allocate the central place on their home page to a message “Minority/woman/veteran operated company!” I have read Atlas Shrugged so I clearly understand why they do it. Nevertheless, the fact that a business puts such a message in the center of attention, instead of its business merits, is disturbing. It is disturbing exactly for the reasons described in Atlas Shrugged.
