love that this is the top comment on HN and not the fact that 1k people just lost their ability to pay their rent/mortgages, take care of their families, deal with medical costs.
- varjag 6y agoBusiness value (or lack thereof) of Lyft now is an unknown, worthy of discussion. The things you mentioned are basic facts everyone is acutely aware about, hard to see what does it help restating them.

- cwhiz 6y agoAlso known as virtue signaling. I am sure it is helpful to all those laid off people to know there are readers on Hacker News talking about them.
- luckydata 6y agoI was just laid off so I can appreciate both sides. On one side I like to discuss tech-business topics, on the other I really feel like the crowd here is a little more callous than it should be. I don't have solutions, just offering an observation.
- stefan_ 6y agoIn fact the top comment is now some partisan bickering! All these smart people and not 10% of them enough foresight to think beyond "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Not in the US, but I'm not sure someone unemployed and out of medical insurance can tell much of a difference between "red" and "blue" right now.
