    If you don’t mind my nitpiking. This isn’t a silicon valley issue, it’s the consequence of how corporations are set up to demand ever endless unlimited growth. They are all cancerous tumors competing with each other.

    Silicone Valley is where the US IT corporations settled.

      Ayup. We’ve spent a couple generations now explicitly training and rewarding sociopathy and now it’s a surprise we’re arse deep in sociopaths ?

      MBAs are a fucking cancer

      To nitpick further, this is a consequence of unregulated capitalism and at this point the people who control it don’t have an incentive to change it.

      The system is working as intended.

      We need to destroy it if we want anything to change.

        To nitpick further.

        It all ends up as a guaranteed exorbitant income for the owning class. and we are all paying for it in endless amounts of human misery and destruction of our planet.

          To nitpick further…

          It’s yet another iteration of the rich destructively oppressing everyone else. Capitalism is yet another system built and modified by the rich to keep themselves in power. While it may be a preferable system over most of what came before, it’s still not good enough to protect the rest of us and the world from their destruction. When their greed yet again goes too far, the cycle will repeat yet again. We might want to take that opportunity to build a better system specifically without the rich dipshits.
