    Hello Mr.

    Well, I'm NOT a titan of tech, but I AM a liberal capitalist.  Not, unfettered, mind you, but a capitalist nonetheless..  Personally, I find NO conflict between my liberalism and my capitalism.  Of course, to the right wing, liberal means socialist.  I can't help that..

    Some capitalists, of course, exploit.  If you've been paying attention, you'd know that I DON'T exploit.  You'd know that I value my employees..  You'd know that I translate that value into INCOME for my employees, and I pay them MORE than my competitors would.. You'd know that I believe, if it weren't for them, I'd be a dishwasher..

  • Always nice to see someone with a proper take on the reality of employing others.

  • Yeah that one always cracked me up too.  Especially since tech tends to take the most vicious and greedy of hyper-capitalism's worst practices.
    It's not much different than all the  hipster techies who cry poverty while having high speed internet for their overpriced Macbook and Ipad and the newest Iphone and drive a car on their way to Starbucks.

  • Aye and a good example of the hypocrisy I'm mentioning.   Steve Jobs was a supreme one when he was alive.
