haha, someone from Oracle pretending to have morals
This is no laughing matter. He might have been the last one :)
instead of working to influence the president, Mr. Polisner is choosing to invest in divisiveness. His crisis of conscience may award him laudation from his peers, but it is unlikely to help create good from the Trump Administration. Even Reagan, Bush were influenced. Trump has shown some receptiveness to influence. Mr. Polisner chooses to increase divisiveness instead of build a bridge or contribute to helping the executive branch do good for America.
i predict that this divide is unbridgeable, and that all who attempt to help will have no influence on policy, but will merely become political cover for truly bad things.
Only time can tell, but given how Trump has treated expert groups before it is highly uncertain of any of them will be able to influence his policies.
Actually, it was Trump and his people who chose, overwhelmingly, to "invest in divisiveness".

To such an extent that the only ethical course of action is not to seek "influence" with such an administration, but -- as this Oracle exec has commendably done -- overt confrontation and resistance.
