Why does it feel like there is a barrage of propaganda being published against tech companies right now?
- jacksmith21006 9y agoThink it is pretty clear there is. Now for what purpose and whom? Is it to create more distrust in the US? Is it to try to get us to destroy ourselves from within?

A pretty fair bit, especially here, is likely to be sour grapes and tall poppy syndrome. Some people feel they deserve those billions, and are extremely bitter toward those who actually succeeded.
