Comment on The New Legislators of Silicon Valleyparent

The tech industry? No. The "tech" is misleading: it's always been about excess wealth allocations. The railway boom of the 1800s. The oil boom of the early 1900s. People get rich, the greedy take over, they try to subvert institutions in their favour. History is rife with this recurring theme. This is just the latest iteration, and it will inevitably end the same way.

Learning actual history can be enlightening.
