Just keep in mind that miserable jerks are naturally more inclined to be noisy. This is showing up on both sides of this debate. There's these miserable jerk VCs noisily demanding tax funded bailouts to preserve some of their wealth that is at risk. And there are the miserable jerks you're talking about on the other side who claim to want to see a bunch of peoples' livelihoods put at risk.

But those people are just a noisy minority. Most people are quietly somewhere else on the continuum between those extremes.
