Yup. The tech industry is one of the worst reflections of late stage capitalism. In other industries you see people who are disillusioned by growing wealth inequality, and those people are rationally checked out. They know the planet is on fire, that both poltical parties have been captured by the billionaire class, and that america's status as a global hegemon is failing. In the tech industry (and a few other high-wage jobs), you work with people who think they're above all that. Their Tesla will drive itself through the "bad part" of town so they don't have to take the subway. They think they're temporarily embarassed millionaires, just one startup idea away from being Elon Musk. They still work their whole lives to enrich someone else, but they do it with a smile, on nights and weekends, because at least they can afford to pay some faceless worker to drive across town to deliver them food every day.
