...and now every other executive in SV is pushing for Calexit.
It would be something if the end result of Thiel backing Trump is that Silicon Valley ceases to be part of the United States.
- rokosbasilisk 10y agoThe balkanization of the united states would to lead foreign powers interfering and another civil war. It will never happen, same reasons the texit never happened.
- sodafountan 10y agoLOL, Silicon Valley thrives on Wallstreet's dollars, they'd leave and the whole ship would sink within the first hour.
- ewood 10y agoWell, they're not "Wallstreet's dollars", it is international capital and it is happy to invest anywhere so long as it believes it will get a return. Possibly even happier to invest in an independent California if the government is likely to be beholden to its needs.
- DefaultUserHN 10y ago>...Silicon Valley ceases to be part of the United States. With what army? Without the might of the United States military, the Mexican drug cartel would quickly take over California. After a few years under cartel rule, Californians will be seen crossing the border illegally back into United States. These kinds of people don't ever think about the implications and consequences of their actions.
