It's not self-evident that any of those things are wrong. Could you explain what you believe instead, and why? Perhaps in a blog post so as not to pollute this discussion.

It isn't particularly reasonable, one might even say dismissive, to suggest that someone explains themselves, off site no less, when you aren't adding much to the discussion yourself. Plenty of people have already written about these comments. Most widely after Mike Mortiz made similar ones in the Financial Times.

Some of them are right, I think. The US is going downhill.

But some are just "I need some work horses who do 100h a week for my gain" kind of stuff
