Lol, reflexive down votes from those who defend state power and corruption, way to go HN.

I think it's more the way you went about it. You kind of just threw out an opinion but didn't really add to the conversation.

Consider the possibility that people would downvote you even if they agree with you, just because your comment contributed nothing to the conversation. Comments like the parent just lower the signal to noise ratio of this thread. Have you ever known HN users to be government sycophants?
