Here's a piece at the Atlantic, re Zuckerberg, technology, and attitudes towards the same. Not a bad piece, interesting in fact. But I was struck by this one line:
It's not a bad line, imo. In fact, I think it's quite good. And yet...
"Everyone" won't be watching, really.
And hardly everyone has retirement savings stashed at all, let alone in a specific stock like FB.
It's not that I object to the elitism, it's that I find the assumed extent of such elitism...troubling. It reminds of the "safaris" into middle America, in search of Trump voters.
Thoughts?
Everyone who doesn’t have their retirement savings stashed in Facebook stock will watch his Capitol Hill comeuppance while sipping a glass of chilled schadenfreude.
