I don't consider it a problem because there is full employment nationwide even amongst the most marginalized engineers. So why is the Washington Post obsessed

I don't consider it a problem because there is full employment nationwide even amongst the most marginalized engineers. So why is the Washington Post obsessed with Silicon Valley, in particular Facebook, Google, and Apple. Who even cares about what schools they recruit at? I didn't go to any of those and I get a recruiter from Google trying to poach me every 6 months, and I just assumed everyone else was too.

> So why is the Washington Post obsessed with Silicon Valley, in particular Facebook, Google, and Apple. Because certain Silicon Valley companies (non-tech) are used by their owners to push their political ideals. Some SV companies were backing the now defunct Gawker, presumably they've been using media as an anti-PR arm for a long time. It is like they are emulating the metapolitics of Washington.
