@NYT has been in the hands of corporate and political interests for years. Honestly, who takes what they say seriously anymore? (Btw - I’m a very liberal person)
Worth pointing out (for like the 1000th time) Silicon Valley WORKERS are as blue as ever. Silicon Valley BILLIONAIRES have swung to Trump, because tax cuts > democracy.
All facts except with Twitter. It has very few employees now which is one of the many reasons it's a shitshow plus Musk is bringing in a lot of cheaper labor via visas as well.
Truth, tech workers are some of the most exploited in modern america, constantly being rotated out for cheaper labor that’s being imported and left with degrees that are useless. Shame the tech sector had a massive growth before the current union revival, would have saved so many workers.
I don't quite understand how one can be so powerful, so wealthy and yet still comport themselves like a 7 year child whose parents took away their iPad.
That cartoon came to my mind immediately and I actually read the article today — definitely enlightening. Andreessen describes becoming radicalized (a word both he and Douthat use for it) by reading a lot of MAGA propaganda and before that bc all college students he hired had become “Communists”.
I love how when someone shows where they are wrong they become communist.
McCarthyism is nearly here.
Question is, do we wave a flag, wear a hat, and hope we're left alone, or potentially be imprisoned for speaking out?
Poopy times.
Marcy boy has failed to mention that it's the CEOs and Billionaires of Silicon Valley that sniffed out the tax cuts and followed to the dark side. Not the 'normal' people there.
Simple. Financial inequality reached tipping point. But it's going to get worse. The Oligarchs can't control themselves. History tells us there is going to be a society and commercial crash. Get ready for it. Dump subscriptions and use the money to prepare.
Marc Andreesen has always been a Nazi, so I guess the story is that Democrats drove him into the Republicans’ arms by refusing to cater to Nazis. Stupid Democrats!
@mattbors.bsky.social complete comic. Unfortunately, an evergreen that should be kept close at hand for the near daily situations that warrant its deployment.
Conservatives are very fond of claiming that they were driven into the arms of the far-right by liberal criticism. You know, the same way white guys joined the KKK because of Martin Luther King Jr.
While Douhat is an asshat, and the silicon valley CEO's have radicalized themselves with social media exposure, Biden admin tech policy has ranged from poor to disastrous.

Trump supporters are pretty much just doing "straight to the moon, Alice"... and liberals are, "he only does it because he loves me"
Silicon Valley 6 months later: waah why was my position taken by an H1b worker I cant afford my cybertruck payments wahh

Poopy times.
NYT and Douthat chose this framing.
Hmmm.
Unfettered biz over country? Hmmm.
Democrats drove SV away?! So,
being only voice drum beat for democracy was a problem?!! (NYT neutral authoritarianism v democracy).
That pesky constitution, freedoms and democracy for all gets in way insulating/preserving ultra $$.
What a load of codswallop.
Srsly Vegas handles gambling much better, with lower energy costs.

Why not “‘They made us do it’, says guy who always wanted to do it anyway?” 🧅
