> It has been extremely instructive to watch the worlds richest people line up to kiss the ring of the new administration. Definitely instructive, but I think also important is how it recharacterizes the past. We should not assume that "kissing the ring" is new starting with this administration. Instead, it's probably fairer to conclude that rich successful tech companies will almost always adopt whatever stance they think will be most to their benefit. It's generally safer to presume that their actions are based on exigency rather than deeply held beliefs.
