Comment on The Government Shutdown Has Revealed Silicon Valley’s Dysfunction Fetishparent

Comments

I am curious about: "That's roughly the same level of hypocrisy as a government-fan shopping at Walmart."

I try not to engage in political discussions on HN so please do not interpret my question as me challenging your point. I am merely interested in what you find hypocritical in the Wal-Mart shopping example.

Somebody in favour of the government benefiting from the services of the private market = not very hypocritical at all. Just like I don't think it's very hypocritical for someone who once worked for a company that got a subsidy from the government to be against the government.

We live in the world we live in, and failing to live a perfectly pure life should not disqualify you from having opinions.
