  Interesting how negative the sentiment is in the older threads, but how positive in today’s. The older threads talk about serfdom and today’s talks about better tax systems and efficiency

    You can count me today as negative. Serfdom indeed.

    Unfortunately HN just shows them both as being “1 day ago” with no more detailed timestamp that I can see. I’m curious if one was posted during the time that Europe (and east coast North America, perhaps) were active, while the other was posted while the west coast (and so, Silicon Valley) was. Particularly when it comes to attitudes towards government there are notable differences.
