Please don't comment like this on Hacker News, no matter who it's about. The guidelines contain these relevant lines: Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. Please don't fulminate. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: to clarify further, in the context of the reply below - The thing that's particularly bad about this comment is that it pours scorn on a group of people that is defined by their class and intellect, which is just the kind of sentiment we don't want to see on HN. By all means, criticize politicians and others in power. Let's not scapegoat people at the very bottom of the heap for all the ills of the world.
