  The better question is - why are so many in such a hurry to defend billionaires?

    I don't know, I think it's right to question journalists' motives in an attempt to keep them honest. This works both ways.

    >The better question is - why are so many in such a hurry to defend billionaires? I think it's because the tech industry is positively lousy with deluded persons who see themselves as embryonic billionaires. When you believe your asshole sprays gold coins every time you update a git repo, you tend to overlook that production is arranged under capitalism to have the ownership class expropriate the majority of the value that workers create.
