As a software guy in the Bay Area, it’s nowhere near as cut and dry as you make it out to be. All the evil shit tech companies do isn’t actually programmed by the billionaires, it’s programmed by normal people with educations that believe they will deeeeeeefinitely be the next billionaire.
Yepper, my dad is now long retired, but he was an old school programmer that kept legacy banking systems in the US alive, running in parallel with newer ones (in case the shit hit the fan on the new ones). Though not American, he's a big Trump fan and definitely would have voted for him if he could have, even though he himself admits its a good things he retired and returned home before Trump became president, because he would not have gotten his US work visas under Trump.
Yeah, and within five years most of them will be out of a job because ai replaced them.
The leopard ate it's own face.
