[LINK] One Tweet Shows What Silicon Valley Really Thinks of the People It's Crushing


Silicon Valley has a tendency to believe that every disruption in society is necessary and just — especially when those disruptions benefit the wealthy tech employees who are driving out everyone else in San Francisco.

If we stop sharing risk and responsibility, only those who already hold wealth and privilege will benefit.
