And if you're a voter, don't let them pretend they contributed to society and allow them to clean up their image and grab power. There is a candidate in my local mayor race, Harrison Roday, that was touting "running a software company" before he started trying to do things that would make him electable. Turns out he was a finance bro, that used to the money to try and enshitify some Chrome extensions and small software that is already doing well. And all his backing is from out of state to run for mayor. Whats worse is that it actually took a decent amount of research to find out how crappy his previous life was. He was a big consideration for my vote until I dug because I was curious about what kind of software he worked on.

Thanks for doing the research! Important to not leave any place for people like this to hide.
