@carnage4life so if a manager screws up a product launch he just needs to fire a few underlings. Got it.

And wait what is Block? Another Dorsey startup? That man has the attention span of a hummingbird on speed.

It's interesting *why* the VCs are becoming ever more right wing and "anti-woke". Partially it's because they live in a bubble and breathe each others' farts, but it's also the realisation that the easy gains of the early 2000s internet are gone, the easy money is no longer there, and they need an authoritarian government to enforce the monopolisation, surveillance, tax avoidance and regulatory capture to keep them rich in perpetuity.

@selzero in the UK Margaret Thatcher believed that the path to a permanent Conservative hegemony was an enlarged middle class of property owners.

So you might be a 21 year old socialist firebrand, but once you have your 2 bedroom house and share portfolio, you're a Tory voter.

However we now have people in their 30s and 40s with no hope of a home - so that Conservative pipeline is broken.
