There's a tech recruiting company called "John Galt Staffing." I don't know if they're run by Libertarians or it's just an unfortunate name conflict, but whenever they contact me, I respond with an email saying that I won't do business with them.

If I had that name, I'd change it. "I just don't know why little Adolf is having trouble with his classmates."

Edit Fixed the spelling of the company name.

If it's 'Gault,' it's probably coincidental. If it's Galt, almost certainly Randroids.

It's "Galt" (and LinkedIn). Reviews on GlassDoor remind me of BioShock.

It's like the companies calling themselves Skynet.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

so basically you're asking "Who is John Gault?"

I have a relative who was named Adolph (with that spelling) immediately before the rise of Hitler. I think he kept it on the, "Why should I change my name? He's the one who sucks," logic, but I'm not sure.
