This is so on point that even Congress should be able to understand it.
- JBiserkov 8y agoUpton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
- ardy42 8y agoThat's a nice quote, but I don't think it applies here in that way. I don't think any Congressman's salary actually depends on not understanding Facebook's business model.
- v64 8y agoMaybe not their literal salary, but Congress is heavily lobbied and can be incentivized with other perks and benefits to look the other way.
- michaelmrose 8y agoFacebook doesn't individually contribute much but it did contribute a total of 7 million over 12 years. If they were smarter they would kick in more.
