Great read, Andrew! Thinking about your writing, I can't help but shake my head at all these ass kissers we call our tech titans. There is no honesty anymore. Maybe there never was, but how can theoretically smart people think this way about [big list of words to define your upcoming president]?
Thanks for the article gift! It's quite funny to watch the 2 richest people in the world bickering about nothing that matters to regular folk. They are all wingnuts...
you're right! (I had to look up the Gilded Age) There was a Note yesterday from Substack dude Mills about recency bias. Good one; it was about internet feeds but it applies here as well. None of this has ever happened before
Dang man you’re right and of course he doesn’t. I’ve gotten so used to corporate speak I don’t pay it any mind. Salesguys using language like ‘kill the competition’ or ‘dominate the market’ was purged from the MSFT lexicon after consent decree

¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
If you remember Trumps first term he had some kind of tech council and invited Musk and Zuckerberg and Satya (I was still working at MSFT at the time so I was curious how Satya would handle him) and it all fizzled out. I think they figured he was too unhinged to work with. This 2nd round feels very different for tech and honestly I've no idea how it'll go but it's clear they've placed their bets. Yesterday from the NYTs - it's going to be entertaining! https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/technology/musk-bezos-trump-x-posts.html?unlocked_article_code=1.b04.Nc_p.Av_33PlpUzZK&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

There are just so many comparisons to the Gilded Age that it's almost silly.

History doesn't repeat, but it does history doesn't repeat but it does history.
Anyone who uses the phrase boot off the throat in that context pretty obviously doesn't understand what a boot to the throat feels like.
