You make a claim that,

  it is wise for us to have more political links to the US government.
but you fail to explain why. Perhaps that's the source of some downvotes.

You also write,

  Politics is irrelevant to me
which demostrates that your 'opinion' comes from a place of indifference, perhaps another reason for downvotes.

Actually I did: "The government can already twist your arm; being on first name's basis with somebody important will be invaluable." I think it will create more opportunities for the tech industry to influence big politics.

No, and in the next four words I very clearly explained to you what I am not indifferent about.
