Because fixing the entire country is a much large problem.
Most of the time, when people talk about "lets fix the broader problem not our specific problem", it is mostly an excuse to do nothing, as opposed to an actual attempt to solve the bigger problem.
People in tech have both the ability and responsibility to fix issues that directly effect the tech industry.
Whereas we don't necessarily have the ability to change worldwide culture as a whole.
- scrollaway 9y agoThe tech industry isn't US-only. What you see in the US is the tip of an iceberg that spans six continents. So again how exactly is it easier to fix something "in the industry" vs. in the country?
- stale2002 9y agoBecause you and me can do our part to help solve the problem here and now. We can make direct contributions by working to solve the problem within our own companies and move the needle that way. It is also because this whole "it is better to solve a different problem" is basically just an excuse to do nothing, by throwing our hands in the air.
