And don't forget about being downvoted for listing facts!

  > And don't forget about being downvoted for listing facts! Yeah,its a very funny phenomenon. For some reason, Americans like to downvote anything true about their society. This is what you would expect out of communist societies.

    Not true. You'd be about halfway up in any other forum, but this is hacker news--where we're not supposed to talk politics... unless it's the kind of politics they want us to talk about--like net neutrality or antitrust or some other intersection of nerds and money.

      > but this is hacker news--where we're not supposed to talk politics... unless it's the kind of politics they want us to talk about But this isn't politics. This is the societal reality of the home of tech industry. There are many people around the world who are blown away by the stories of Silicon Valley. When we share stories of SV parties, VCs, lifestyle, homelessness, then why not about life and reality here? At the very least, it is informative to people who are uprooting their families and lives in other countries.
