Advertising, extortionate rents, middle-men, 'analytics'... the sheer number of layers of parasitism in San Francisco is hard to comprehend.

9 times out of 10, these 'tech' companies are a net drain on society.

Call me crazy, but is it possible CNN wants to further legitimatize high rents in large cities? Every big news service works for some billionaire it seems, and none are even tongue in cheek self critical anymore, or so it seems.

Interesting that the founder’s elevator speech included nostalgia for late period USSR... I cringed a bit at that.

Yup, I caught that too. Hard to see how 38 roommates farting, snoring, crapping, and getting drunk is a benefit.
