  Last government was breaking up Google. This one is protecting it. How much of a reversal do you need before you can tell the difference? Did you follow the Google Antitrust case at all?

    How is that even relevant The current US government is reversing literally everything like a small child out of spite. That doesn't mean HN mods are "grifters" who are "in bed" with them

      > but I'm not even sure it's that much more friendly than previous gov Do you take this line back, or did you simply forget you said this? Or is there some fine detail you wish to clarify here. Because one admin literally suing for the breakup of Google, and the next admin giving the case up with no argument is about as opposite as you can get. The facts simply do not match your assertions

        Why would I take it back? Did I lie in it? Should I assume that breaking up google is bad for YC? And not breaking up google is good for YC? Why? Like having Google around would increase business opportunities for YC funded startups? And therefore HN mods are grifters in bed with trump? Sorry my friend but this is simply an insane And even if breaking up google actually hurts YC, if one admin is reversing literally everything from the other admin out of princple and this accidentally does some good for you it doesn't mean it's friendly to you. Sometimes I can't tell here who's more crazy US righties or US lefties...

        > Why would I take it back? Did I lie in it? Just say that the Trump admin is friendlier to Google. Can you do that for me? Or are you unable to even do that? > How is that even relevant If it's not relevant, you should be able to admit it yourself without any issue. So take the statement 'This admin is friendlier to Google than Biden admin was', and make sure your statements are logically consistent with said statement. That's all I'm asking you to do. > Sometimes I can't tell here who's more crazy US righties or US lefties... Don't making this a left or right thing. I'm just seeing if you can admit to the differences between 2024 and 2025 with respect to Google and the antitrust case. It's not like the fine issues of antitrust cases are an issue that the left or right really rallies behind.

        "trump is accidentally friendlier to google because he likes to reverse things from biden" doesn't mean trump is friendlier to tech overall. for example most of what Trump claims he invested in chip production was actually invested by Biden. Trump gives more promises and less actual money. https://itif.org/publications/2020/09/28/trump-vs-biden-comparing-candidates-positions-technology-and-innovation/ https://itif.org/publications/2020/09/28/trump-vs-biden-comp...

        And with the antitrust case lifted we now see Skydance/Paramount merger. And Netflix/WB merger. And TikTok. That's a lot of friendly to tech things Trump is doing. The previous admin likely would have kept the companies separate / brought up antitrust issues.

        except for TikTok none of them are really "tech" I want to say Trump seems a bit friendlier to corporate. But the pro corporate guy would not take from corporate their best cheapest workforce. Maybe his friendly tax policy compensates for his strict immigration policy idk
