In connection to my point below, do GLOBALISTS equal....
1. Globalists= we don't care for anyone
or
2. Globalists= we only care for the people from the country we are from
or
3. Globalists= we care for everyone but the people in America.
Overall I would say that it doesn't really matter which group people are in above (1, 2 or 3) America still benefits from having these people here. A true capitalist would understand this. A mercantilist doesn't. Bannon is a Mercantilist who believe that patriotism defines how much we add value to where we live.

This quote comes from a Steve Bannon interview in the Economist: Bannon also said that Silicon Valley and Wall Street consist of "a bunch of globalists who have forgotten their fellow Americans..."

Are you suggesting that they are remembering their fellow man and forgetting their fellow Americans? Or are they forgetting everyone?
I find it hard to believe their are many in Silicon Valley who remember their fellow man but forget their fellow Americans. Could happen, but I guess it is a small number.

Lazyeye asks: Is this true? The answer: no.
I know you are speaking about SV generally but YC alone is undertaking the basic income project, has funded a number of non-profits, etc.
What is it you think SV should be focusing on that it is not paying proper attention?
