How do you know that a duck is a duck? You have to have seen one at some point in your life.
Live in a country like Argentina for a few years. See, hear and feel how a country is destroyed, financially, culturally and morally raped by populist rulers. Then go live somewhere else and watch, in total disbelief, that same movie replayed for you in slow motion.
Then, and only then, will you be able to recognize the duck.
From the vantage point of the US, and without that external perspective it is easy to discount someone drawing a parallel between the events in Argentina and the US as a total lunatic. And that is your prerogative. Ask anyone living in Argentina if what is happening to them happened as a single large change or a series of small changes down the proverbial slippery slope. I know the answer to that question.
Regardless of what Paypal says publicly, I assure you that what they did was the result of someone in government threatening to shove a boot up someone's ass.
What, you don't think politicians can do stuff like that? Perhaps you also believe that voting can't be rigged or altered at will by politicians:

If you are a tech entrepreneur, like it or not, politics can and does affect your life. From patent laws to taxes and beyond. It is important to at least have some perspective beyond that provided by the one-sided media so set on indoctrinating American voters (on both sides).
