The notion that "talking to a poor person" would somehow illuminate any of the issues that the author is talking about is laughable. Folk economic beliefs are notoriously terrible. Shedding crocodile tears about how poverty will still exist in the techno-utopian future is a way of attacking a strawman. Focusing on the plight of San Francisco in particular is backwards thinking, since Andreessen is undoubtedly more concerned about global metrics than parochial, highly-localized ones. No one should care that much if tech is driving up the Gini coefficient in SF if it's driving down global Gini. |
