An open letter from technology sector leaders on Donald Trump’s candidacy
- larry_k 10y agoTalk about being disconnected. Good example of what happens when a random set of the tech elite sit amongst themselves and talk about their problems. The average Trump supporter is afraid about their jobs/healthcare/housing being lost thanks to factory shutdowns and outsourcing. Trump exploits those fears. And look how the "tech leaders" respond. Instead of addressing the fears of those people they want to talk about their own fears. That is not leadership. Its how we end up with the likes of Trump.
- everydaypanos 10y agoSo Steve Wozniak has to talk to the Average Joe supporter of Trump and address his fears about jobs/healthcare/housing??? In a world of super competitiveness and your-death-id-my-life it is quite rare (and refreshing) to see so many people unite behind a common fear. I think we should all pay attention to what they say..
- J_Darnley 10y agoTrump is what the US needs (or deserves if you think he'll be bad). [EDIT] I am for more concerned about what these people want for society. I see several from facebook, twitter, and one from reddit. [EDIT2] What more is that many of these company names read like venture capitalists and hedge funds.
- MollyR 10y agoSo a bunch of ceo's, co-founders, and elite types are against trump. This plays exactly into his hands.
- yanilkr 10y agoIt's what these leaders are hiding that's more worrying to me. I think they made deals with the govt that would give away users privacy and are worried what if it falls into wrong hands.
