The conclusion of the article (I think) we are (still) discussing here, however, appears to be "Thiel is a robber baron and we the poor public should be wary of these new rich", when in fact the conclusion should be "Our system of justice is broken because rich people can get different outcomes than poor people." Clearly, the author of the article does not want the poor people to come to the conclusion that the justice system is broken, presumably, because then the rich and powerful establishment, would not be able to use it themselves. Instead, they want to put upstart newcomers like Thiel in their place. Are there any other areas where the establishment may need public backing to take down the "robber barons of silicon valley"? Anyone having the nerve to fight back on issues of privacy, national security, encryption, copyright, basic human rights in general? No?
