    This is so nakedly transparent. The tech industry is god damn giddy for Trump. They stand to make so much more money and exploit us at levels hitherto unheard of.

      Not just tech. For big business Trump is good news for them I am sure. For their employees, not so much. But for the leaders, it’s 4 years of very favourable policies for them.

        I don’t know that Trump is as good news for them as they think. If he implements his tariff plans, they get hit hard and no amount of passing that on to consumers will help because consumers won’t be able to afford it.

          I’m not so optimistic… Car prices nearly doubled in a handful of years. More than, if you factor in “market price adjustments.” Wages stagnated. Cars still flying off lots faster than they can be built. That’s just one example among many.
