Yesterday, I read someone mock HN as "Corporate Apologism News". Quite accurate in this case.

  Silicon Valley is fun that way - tons of smart people who’s eyes slowly shift out of focus and minds slip into a stupor when confronted with their participation in helping the most horrible people alive ruin the world.

    Money blinds. The price for those nice comp packages is complicity in the descent into neofeudalism.

      The funny thing is the money doesn’t even go that far in Silicon Valley! You’d often be better off making less comp but living nearly anywhere else in the world. My theory is the real reason for the return to office mandates is to keep employees stuck in a situation where they are compelled to chase big comp and compromise whatever morals they once had just to put food on the table.

        Silicon Valley is just an inefficient value transfer mechanism from society (by digitizing everything) to SF land owners.
