In 2018, Moritz also wrote for the Financial Times about what he perceives as the excesses of Silicon Valley’s labor culture (and, more broadly, California’s culture) — linking gripes about work-life balance and parental leave to complaints about corporate speakers with unsavory politics and “the need for a space for musical jam sessions,” calling them all “unwarranted distractions.” He then goes on to praise Chinese tech companies — and by extension, what he sees as China’s broader culture of frugality, a lack of work-life balance and, curiously, “disregard paid to physical fitness"

Yikes.
